  • Partner with structures, manufacturing, and test teams to define tooling requirements, integration flow, and process interfaces
  • Collaborate across engineering disciplines and external vendors to deliver rapid, high-precision prototype tooling solutions
  • Leverage advanced materials and manufacturing methods, including additive and composite fabrication, to enhance performance and efficiency
  • Perform design validations, mechanical checks, and hands-on trials to qualify tooling for development and production use
  • Drive continuous improvement by developing and implementing tooling upgrades that reduce build time, improve accuracy, and streamline operations
  • Maintain documentation, configuration control, and safety standards across all tooling systems
  • Coordinate schedule, priorities, and vendor relationships to ensure tooling deliverables align with critical R&D and integration milestones
  • Act as a key interface between engineering and build teams to resolve integration challenges and sustain build velocity

Requirements

  • Strong engineering first principles
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing, or related engineering field
  • Hands-on experience with physical hardware (internships, labs, project teams all count)
  • Proven ability to design, build, break, and iterate quickly
  • Comfort with CAD, test equipment, hand tools
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes (machining, welding, forming, etc.) and GD&T fundamentals

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication methods including machining, additive manufacturing, composites, and rapid prototyping
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks, NX) for tooling design and iteration
  • Knowledge of GD&T and ability to interpret and apply engineering drawings to prototype development
  • Familiarity with R&D environments and early-stage design-build-test cycles for high-performance aerospace systems
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to experiment, adapt, and iterate quickly in ambiguous development settings
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering, prototype build, and test teams
  • Knowledge of lean prototyping and continuous improvement principles in low-volume, experimental environments

What we offer

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Unlimited PTO policy
  • Paid parental leave
  • Potential for year-end bonuses
  • 100% employer-paid health care
  • 401k & Retirement Plans
