A Day in the Life: The Manufacturing Specialist will leverage their unique fabrication skills to address engineering challenges.

You will collaborate closely with Engineers, Technicians, and Machine Shop personnel to create and deliver custom fabricated fixtures and devices.

About the Team: The Kuiper Tooling Ops (KTO) team comprises a diverse group of Technicians dedicated to providing mechanical support for Project Kuiper.
