Senior Hardware Process Engineer

What you'll do

• Translate flight-hardware requirements into repeatable, poka-yoked build and test processes for high-volume production.
• Design and qualify test stations and mechanical ground support equipment for precision electro-mechanical hardware.
• Define functional requirements for test systems including alignment capability, accuracy, and cycle-time targets.
• Lead root cause investigations to identify failures and implement corrective actions in development and production.
• Maintain comprehensive process documentation including process maps, control plans, and troubleshooting guides.
• Partner with Quality Engineering to develop PFMEAs and identify critical-to-quality characteristics for assembly.
• Manage the controlled deployment of process changes through formal engineering change processes.
• Coordinate between design, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure alignment on production goals.

What we're looking for

• Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or an equivalent field.
• 7+ years of manufacturing, test, or GSE engineering experience.
• 5+ years of experience with test station or manufacturing process development on precision electro-mechanical hardware.
• Experience with precision motion metrology including encoders, hall sensors, torque measurement, and run-out/TIR inspection.
• Proficiency in CAD design (NX preferred) and creating 2D drawings.
• Experience running formal failure investigations like 8D or fishbone to drive corrective actions through engineering changes.
• Experience with GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and developing PFMEAs and control plans with Quality Engineering.
