Job Description & How to Apply Below
The engine manufacturing department's mission is to product high performing products & manufacturing systems by continuously innovating on cost, quality, and lead time. Through cross-functional collaboration, high levels of accountability, and a focus on safety we support the Terran R program. We are responsible for providing design feedback on new hardware iterations, developing new manufacturing methods and systems, and ultimately building engine and vehicle hardware for testing prior to our first launch.
Our team's highlights from the last 6 months include the MDC of the first Aeon-R engine, completing thousands of hours of PBF printing, building and testing over 50 valves of 26 different iterations, and implementing large scale process improvements along the way.
About the Role:
As a Propulsion Technician, you will be on the front line of the assembly and testing of the Aeon-R engine components, sub-assemblies and engines. This is a unique opportunity to be a part of an experienced technical team and build the skills necessary to create and refine robust component and engine building processes. This role will be focused on supporting several in-house processes and support resources such as precision cleaning, hydrostatic proof testing, flow testing, component assembly and test, and engine assembly.
About You:
* Experience working on engines, with a primary focus on engine components.
* Familiarity with architecture of a Gas Generator cycle engine and all associated nomenclature.
* Experience with high pressure fluid system development and testing such as hydrostatic proof, pneumatic leak check, and flow testing.
* Familiarity with electrical and mechanical system integration.
* Ability to read and interpret work instructions, and engineering drawings.
* Strong technical and interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills.
Nice to haves but not required:
* Familiarity with 5S manufacturing principles.
* Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing principles.
* Experience transitioning from development into high-volume production.
