Reflector Fabricator

About the Role

As a Reflector Fabrication Specialist, you will be responsible for working in a very hands on R&D fabrication environment, specifically helping us construct large reflectors made from thin-film plastics. To us, this is an art, and like all art, it requires skill and a keen eye for detail. We encourage people who enjoy detailed oriented work like sewing and origami to apply, and familiarity with cutting and handling fabrics and thin sheets of materials will be very helpful.

• Turn reflector designs into testable units using hand and machine tools

• Design and build jigs and custom tooling to make reflector prototyping more efficient, high quality, and precise

• Work closely with engineering to identify and communicate design problems

• Design and fabricate or purchase infrastructure necessary to make and handle very large reflectors

• Experience making beautiful, hand crafted, detailed models on a tight timeline

• Basic experience with CAD and designing custom jigs and tools

• Comfortable independently using tools like laser cutters, vinyl cutters, hand tools, and able to learn how to use new tools quickly

• Clean room experience

• Great candidates range from tailors, architects, sculptors, artists to people who have fabricated hardware for the space environment
