ATLO (Assembly, Test, & Launch Operations) Engineer - Millennium Space Systems

Company:

Millennium Space Systems, a part of Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is a fast, agile small satellite company focused on national security space. Our missions have direct impact to global security, like missile warning and Earth observation.

Our team is curious, bold and innovative. We take risks, innovate and explore new techniques and technologies. We influence change because we challenge the status quo. And when we watch our satellites launch, we know each one of us made it happen.

We are seeking highly motivated applicants to join our world-class team and help create the future of affordable, high-reliability space systems. We are looking for candidates who have demonstrated practical problem-solving experience in their previous roles or projects. This is a full-time position in El Segundo, CA.

Job Summary:
A member of the ATLO (Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations) team is responsible for building and testing complex spacecraft for a variety of mission areas, via electrical, mechanical assembly, environmental, and planning applications. You will play a critical role in developing satellites for manufacturability and large-scale constellations. An Early Career ATLO engineer will report directly to an Engineering Team Lead as a part of the Production organization at Millennium.

This position requires employees to work various shifts on a rotating basis. The shift times are subject to change and additional shifts may be added in accordance with company needs, but employees will only work one shift per day.

Each standard shift is 9.5 hours in length, 0.5 hours of which is designated for a lunch break. Shifts contain 9 hours of work to follow the Millennium 9/80 calendar, meaning every other Friday is a non-working day. The standard shift times are listed below.

• First Shift: 0600 – 1530

• Second Shift: 1430 – 0000
