Job Description:

Zachary Piper Solutions is seeking a Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer (AIT) to join a high‑impact team supporting the production, assembly, integration, and testing of spacecraft hardware for a next‑generation satellite constellation. This role is hands‑on and mission‑critical, focused on manufacturing processes, build optimization, and quality assurance for aerospace assemblies rather than mechanisms design.

Job Responsibility:

  • Execute and optimize build processes for spacecraft hardware including structures, mechanical assemblies, deployment hardware, actuators, and precision components
  • Develop and maintain work instructions, build documentation, and production travelers to support efficient, repeatable assembly operations
  • Support AIT technicians on the manufacturing floor by resolving build blockers, improving processes, and ensuring hardware meets engineering requirements
  • Develop, qualify, and operate tooling, jigs, fixtures, and ground support equipment (GSE) for assembly, integration, vibration, shock, and thermal testing
  • Perform tolerance stack-up reviews, fit checks, alignment verification, and torque applications to ensure hardware is built to spec
  • Analyze production and test data
  • establish pass/fail criteria and support spacecraft integration and launch readiness
  • Lead and support root‑cause analysis and corrective action (RCCA) for build issues, test anomalies, and non-conformances
  • drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback to engineering
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with design, quality, supply chain, and technicians to ensure manufacturability, quality, and throughput from prototype to mass production
  • Recommend process improvements to reduce build time, increase reliability, and enhance product flow across production lines

Requirements:

  • 2-5 years of hands‑on experience in aerospace manufacturing, mechanical assembly, production engineering, or AIT of mechanical/electromechanical hardware
  • Proficiency in manufacturing processes, assembly operations, mechanical integration, and hardware testing
  • Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo) and test equipment (oscilloscopes, thermal chambers, metrology tools)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, beam loading, torque application, tolerance stack-ups, and precision assembly practices
  • Demonstrated problem‑solving abilities and experience supporting failure investigations or process issues
  • Flexibility for occasional weekend and early morning work (e.g., 4 AM deployments)
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States (United States Citizens or Green Card holders) and pass a background check
What we offer:
  • Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, Sick Leave as required by law, and Holidays
  • Relocation assistance, RSUs, Meal Stipend, and Unlimited PTO (after 90 days)
