  • Interpret production drawings systematically, understanding the need for processes to meet established requirements.
  • Define and author material and/or process development and qualification plans in order to utilize novel materials and processes on liquid rocket engine hardware.
  • Train and empower production employees in manufacturing and developed repair techniques.
  • Promote and build a positive working relationship with hourly team members.
Qualifications:
  • 5+ years directly related welding and joining experience.
  • Minimum B.S. in Welding Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Material Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • Hands-on experience operating and supporting processing equipment such as heat treat furnaces, industrial robots, lasers, welding equipment, thermal spray, and cold spray systems.
  • Proven experience developing and executing test plans for analysis and qualification of special processes.
  • Experience writing and maintaining materials and process specifications and/or work instructions.
  • Experience with automation and/or mechanization of processes.
  • Familiarity with standard methods of manufacturing, such as conventional machining, non-conventional machining, and inspections.
  • Experience interpreting NDT/NDE results (such as UT, RT, PT).
  • Strong interpersonal and organizational skills.
  • Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
Desired Qualifications:
  • Masters or PhD in Welding Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Material Science/Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • Experience in the production, manufacturing, testing, and assembly of rocket hardware.
  • Experience working with Ni-based alloys, Cu-based alloys, and/or other aerospace materials used in rocket propulsion manufacturing.
  • Demonstrated experience working in cross-functional teams.
  • Demonstrated experience generating Engine Manual repairs or Service Bulletin alteration repair documents.
  • Experience evaluating and implementing repairs and/or remanufacture on tested/flight service hardware.
  • Experience with aerospace quality management systems supporting propulsion hardware.
  • Experience transitioning materials and processes from development to production.
  • Proven experience managing technology development projects, measuring technical progress, resources, and budgets.
Benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
  • Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
  • Discretionary bonus: Bonuses are designed to reward individual contributions as well as allow employees to share in company results.
