More about this role

They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.

At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development.

To make this possible, our deployables need to move from hand-built prototypes to a repeatable, qualified production line. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will be hands-on in building qualification and flight units and in developing the processes, tooling, and documentation that make them repeatable. You will work closely with design engineers and technicians on the shop floor, and help shape how the production line grows.

Support assembly, integration, and acceptance of qualification and flight units, from parts kitting through delivery.

Write and maintain work instructions, travelers, and inspection points for flight hardware builds.

Design and build tooling, fixtures, and assembly aids, and help maintain cleanliness and ESD controls on the floor.

Document nonconformances, run root cause investigations, and drive corrective...
