## About the role

We are hiring Build Engineers to own modules of the engine end-to-end: concept, design, drawings, supplier interface, first article, assembly, and test integration. You will not hand a drawing to "manufacturing." You are manufacturing — and design, and supply chain, and the test stand tech you brought a coffee to this morning. You will delete parts. You will simplify interfaces. You will put your hands on hardware. And when your module fires on the test stand, it will fire because you made it fire.

## What they're looking for

- Own a module of the Superpower engine — turbomachinery, mechanical systems, or structures/integration — from requirements through test
- Drive design decisions that minimize part count, simplify assembly, and shorten the path from drawing to hardware
- Live at the interface between design and fabrication: work directly with our in-house shop and external suppliers to get parts made right, fast, and on budget
- Integrate your hardware onto test stands. Watch it run. Break it. Fix it. Ship the next rev
- Raise the bar on everyone around you
- Real DFM/DFA intuition — you can look at a part and see how it will be made
