  • Hire, train and lead a team to do the same

  • Have an existing network and strong relationships in the supply chain
  • Have worked at a Space company before

  • Experience in machining environment
  • Experience with supply chain and buying
  • Have done DFM reviews with customers in a contract manufacturing environment
  • Have worked in Aerospace, Semiconductor or Defense environments

  • Passionate about optimizing processes
Perks to consider

  • Early leadership role in breakout startup
  • Work on something that directly positively impacts the Space Industry, The Country, and Humanity's future
  • Big equity grants
