Senior ATLO; Assembly, Test Launch Operations Engineer - Millennium Space Systems

Senior 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, reliable space systems.

The Assembly, Test, and Launch Operations (ATLO) Team plans and executes all space vehicle–level integration and test activities O creates the detailed flow of activities throughout the buildup of the space vehicle, writes and executes all test and assembly procedures used in these activities, conducts system‑level through environmental testing, and performs integration to launch vehicle. The Senior ATLO Engineer will collaborate with many teams such as Programs, Engineering, Manufacturing, Facilities, and Security to shape the direction of satellite production and help the company meet delivery targets while maintaining a high standard of technical excellence in the assembly and test of satellites.

The Senior ATLO Engineer is invited to improve the efficiency of current processes and play a critical role in developing satellites for manufacturability and large‑scale constellations. A Senior ATLO Engineer will report functionally to an ATLO Team Lead and serve under or as an ATLO program lead.

Rotating Shift: The 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.

• First Shift: 0600 – 1530
• Second Shift: 1430 – 0000

• Lead the planning and execution of a satellite program from assembly through launch.
• Review initial engineering drawings and schematics to anticipate build challenges and reach back into the company’s early‑design processes or proposal activities to create manufacturability improvements downstream.
• Interface with technicians, quality inspectors, and engineers in a cleanroom as needed to guide troubleshooting of non‑conformances and corrective actions, and provide go/no‑go judgment and rationale.
• Integrate, test, and troubleshoot development platforms for flight vehicles to generate high‑quality procedures and understand the functions of the system.
• Act as a signature authority on test and assembly procedures, process plans, and new program initiatives.
• Lead environmental testing of satellites (EMI/C, Dynamics, TVAC) and launch integration campaigns, including select responsibilities for overarching plans, maintaining schedule, and staffing.
• Drive improvements to increase production throughput, reduce space vehicle build hours and quality issues, and remove waste from complex processes.
• Utilize statistical and analytical tools to monitor performance metrics of teams and product execution plans.

• Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), computer science, engineering data science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g., Bachelor) and typically 5 or more years’ related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, assembly sequencing, materials and process engineering, or similar field in Aerospace, Automotive or Commercial…
