Manufacturing Engineer

About the Company

Overview Energy is a mission-driven team committed to delivering Space Solar Energy to the world. We operate at the intersection of space infrastructure and energy abundance, providing continuous baseload power 24/7 without seasonality or the need for batteries.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain mechanical assembly process flows and work instructions for satellite structures, mechanisms, and major subassemblies
• Design and specify jigs, fixtures, lifting devices, and alignment tools to improve safety, repeatability, and build efficiency
• Perform DFM/DFA reviews with design engineering to feed shop-floor lessons back into mechanical designs
• Support technicians on the line, resolving fit-up, tolerance, and interference issues in real time
• Define in-process inspections and torque/adhesive/bonding steps in coordination with quality
• Track non-conformances and lead root cause/corrective actions to improve yield

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• 4+ years of experience with mechanical assembly for satellites, spacecraft structures, or high-reliability aerospace systems
• Strong proficiency reading mechanical drawings and GD&T
• Experience working with 3D CAD to extract assembly details
• Demonstrated experience with fasteners, torqueing, bonding, shimming, stack-ups, and alignment
• Experience creating and maintaining mechanical assembly work instructions
• Ability to work directly with technicians on the shop floor

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with composite and metallic space structures, deployable mechanisms, and precision alignment
• Familiarity with crane/rigging and MGSE related to mechanical assembly
• Experience applying lean manufacturing principles in low-rate, high-reliability production
