Production Manufacturing Lead

Production Manufacturing Lead –
Logos Space

Logos Space is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system designed to provide high‑performance, resilient satellite‑based connectivity for commercial enterprises and government users worldwide. We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Production Manufacturing Lead to oversee the manufacturing execution of our LEO satellite payload and ground terminal systems.

This critical operations role is responsible for ensuring that all production processes, documentation, and process flows are optimized for low‑cost, high‑rate manufacturing at external Contract Manufacturers (CMs). The successful candidate will manage the transition of highly complex electrical systems—including power, networking, RF, baseband processing, and phased array antenna systems—from design to full‑scale production, while collaborating closely with our external satellite bus partner to integrate payload systems into the final satellite vehicle.

• Define, develop, and implement the manufacturing strategy for LEO satellite payloads and ground terminal systems to achieve high‑volume, low‑cost production goals.
• Serve as the primary manufacturing interface with external CMs, monitoring performance, ensuring process adherence, and driving continuous improvement initiatives.
• Develop, deploy, and maintain robust manufacturing documentation, work instructions, and process flows (including SMT, complex assembly, and production test) that meet quality and rate requirements.
• Partner closely with engineering teams to influence product design, ensuring manufacturability, testability, and cost‑efficiency.
• Collaborate with our satellite bus partner to develop and maintain the process flows for seamlessly integrating complex payload systems into the satellite bus.
• Analyze manufacturing data (yields, cycle times, non‑conformance reports) to identify root causes and implement corrective actions across CM and internal processes.
• Drive Material Readiness Reviews (MRR) and Production Readiness Reviews (PRR) to ensure all components, tooling, documentation, and processes are ready for production ramps.
• Define requirements for and oversee the deployment of manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and automated test equipment at the CM.
• Ensure all manufacturing processes comply with relevant industry standards, quality management systems (e.g., AS9100), and regulatory requirements for space hardware.

• U.S. Person status is required to access export‑controlled data.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline (equivalent experience acceptable).
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, production engineering, or operations for complex electrical or aerospace hardware.
• Proven experience managing external CMs for high‑volume production.
• Familiarity with SMT, complex electromechanical assembly, and production‑level test processes for electrical equipment.
• Experience developing and deploying manufacturing documentation, process flows, and work instructions.

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in high‑rate manufacturing environments (aerospace, defense, automotive, high‑volume electronics).
• Direct experience with manufacturing and/or integration of satellite systems, RF/microwave electronics, or ground terminal equipment.
• Deep understanding of quality methodologies (Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing) and experience implementing them in production settings.
• Experience with ERP/MES systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Plex) for managing production data, BOMs, and traceability.
• Familiarity with complex power management, network architectures, and advanced antenna technologies (e.g., Phased Arrays).
• Strong project management skills and experience leading cross‑functional teams in a fast‑paced environment.
