Company Overview:

We invented a new approach to design, build, and fly our own rockets, starting with Terran 1 – the world’s first entirely 3D printed rocket and Terran R our reusable next generation 3D printed rocket.

Using our vertically integrated technology platform, leveraging additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous robotics to deliver superiority over traditional aerospace manufacturing methods, we’re disrupting 60 years of aerospace with our novelty approach to get to space, Mars, and beyond faster, more cost-effective, and more reliable.

We believe in a future where interplanetary life fundamentally expands the possibilities for human experience. Our long-term vision is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.

Team:

The Avionics team is responsible for the design, testing, and production of electronic systems on the Terran 1 and Terran R launch vehicles. As a member of this team, you will be responsible for avionics hardware designs that work with multiple vehicle systems including but not limited to vehicle sensors, propulsion, computing, actuation, energy management, and communications. Avionics operation is critical to the successful flight of Terran 1, the world’s first 3D printed rocket.

What you’ll do:

To be successful in this role, you need to be a self-starter that can thrive in ambiguity, identify problems, and quickly resolve them, and provide definition to the previously undefined. You should have a commitment to quality and the discipline required to achieve it. You will set the tone for how builds are structured, and work orders are written, how issues in the lab are addressed, and drive how test operations are run on flight hardware. You will be a trail blazer for the company, so you need to be self-motivated and able to influence both Engineering and Production to effectively implement your plans. You will need to be comfortable with desk work such as writing work instructions as well as hands on work setting up work areas, assembling hardware and running test operations.

What you need to know:

• Minimum of 2 year experience working hands-on with hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Experience authoring work instructions and/or test procedures to build and checkout interdisciplinary electromechanical systems
• Experience analyzing production data for improvement or development, managing production schedules, and ensuring quality control of manufactured products
• Experience calculating production, labor, and material costs, as well as estimating future needs for production
• Experience utilizing and configuring MES/ERP systems in production
• Experience writing technical specifications governing production quality and processes
• Experience introducing new products into a manufacturing, test, and production system with proven success
• Experience training staff on electromechanical assembly and build procedures. i.e., PCBA soldering, wire harness assembly, or integrated box assemblies
• Experience developing/implementing assembly fixtures and jigs using CAD software
• Experience managing issue ticket creation and resolution

Nice to haves but not required:

• Minimum of 4 years of experience building and testing hardware in a manufacturing environment
• Lean manufacturing experience improving processes, managing projects, and analyzing data
• Experience standing up high-volume production processes and tracking systems
• Self-starter that has demonstrated the ability to define and own a process from scratch and roll out that process through adept communication to a diverse team
• Experience developing user interfaces/dashboards for manufacturing and test execution
• Working knowledge of typical manufacturing execution systems and quality management systems
