Composite Manufacturing Specialist

Nord Space ( ) is a Canadian startup with the mission to advance life on Earth, from space. Nord Space is committed to extremely rapid innovation and development of only the most ambitious aerospace projects with only the most ambitious team Canada has to offer. With divisions spanning everything from rockets to satellites, Nord Space is driven to bring space closer to Earth and inspire generations of space explorers.

The Composite Manufacturing Specialist will be the one to lead Nord Space's efforts to rapidly manufacture composite parts ranging from space-bound pressure vessels to payload fairings. In-house manufacturing and vertical integration are critical aspects of our culture and philosophy at Nord Space, which is why we have invested in everything from robotic welders and massive SLM metal additive manufacturing machines to clean rooms, CNC plasma cutters and mills, composite ovens, and more.

You should consider yourself the ultimate "maker" and "hacker", the type of person who is able to build just about anything, with anything. If the thought of building everything from robots to rockets excites you, try pairing that with the idea that you will have the freedom to build Nord Space's first rocket factory with all the gadgets and machines you could ever dream of.
