Aerospace Production Kitting Specialist

Day in the life

At sunrise in Denver, you step onto the production floor and power up a 3D printer for a first article run. While the build initiates, you assemble a kit from a BOM, double‑checking lot and serial numbers. Before lunch, you verify a set of subassemblies for quality and completeness, document results in the quality system, and hand them off to the next station right on schedule.

By afternoon, you’ve turned a queue of parts into organized, traceable kits and wrapped up a high‑volume batch build—leaving the workspace clean, safe, and ready for tomorrow’s launches.
