The Design for Manufacturing Engineer supports the assembly, integration, testing, and pre-ship performance evaluation of operational EVA and IVA spacesuit systems used in safety- and mission-critical applications. This role operates under moderate supervision within established engineering processes and procedures while providing meaningful opportunities for independent technical judgment, problem solving, and continuous improvement. The position provides hands-on exposure to the full product lifecycle in aerospace engineering, including design, fabrication, manufacturing, assembly, integration, verification, testing, and sustainment activities.

Working closely with design engineering, manufacturing, quality, test, supply chain, and program teams, this role is well suited for early-career engineers seeking technical breadth, system-level understanding, and long-term growth within aerospace engineering and manufacturing operations.

• Provide engineering support for EVA/IVA spacesuit manufacturing operations, including Sewing, Heat Seal, Chemical Processing, Bonding, Cementing, Electronics, and Hardgoods production, to maintain workflow and achieve On-Time-In-Full (OTIF) delivery objectives.
• Collect, analyze, and document environmental, mechanical electrical, and functional test data to support product verification, validation, qualification, and acceptance activities.
• Evaluate and disposition nonconforming hardware in compliance with engineering requirements, quality standards, configuration management processes, NASA requirements, and customer specifications.
• Drive improvements in manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and production throughput through process optimization, tooling enhancements, equipment upgrades, environmental controls, and work instruction updates.
• Collaborate with design engineering teams to incorporate Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles into new product development, product requirements, and future spacesuit hardware designs.
• Lead failure investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) initiatives to improve product reliability, manufacturing performance, and operational effectiveness.
• Develop, review, approve, and maintain configuration-controlled engineering documentation, including work instructions, assembly and test procedures, engineering changes, nonconformance reports, and product records.
• Support refurbishment, maintenance, sustainment, qualification, and production implementation activities for existing and new EVA spacesuit, glove, and Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) hardware.
• Lead material replacement, obsolescence mitigation, shelf-life extension, and risk reduction initiatives by assessing manufacturing impacts and implementing engineering controls to address quality, safety, and production concerns.
• Support capital equipment, tooling, and automation investments while leading continuous improvement initiatives focused on manufacturing processes, production workflows, performance metrics, and long-term operational capability.

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing…
