Gravitics is enabling space stations without compromise, beginning with our giant StarMax orbital habitat. One StarMax module will add roughly half of the existing International Space Station’s habitable volume – in a single launch! We’ll be spooling up from there and we could use your help.

We have aspirational sights, pragmatic footsteps, a proven team who executes, and committed funding. Join us!

Do you want to make the future become reality? Our team prizes initiative in execution, rapid test and iteration, and a commitment to learning. We are seeking a skilled manufacturing engineer to develop and deploy key products from prototype to flight. You'll participate in the design phase, optimize the manufacturing process, work with vendors, and see the project through test and integration. You will work with your product team, helping concepts become reality. This role is for you if:

· You love to work all the details that lie between an engineering design and handling finished hardware.

· You are broadly aware of the state of the art in manufacturing technologies and have a sense of their cost vs. capability.

· You can trade and balance competing objectives (such as mass, cost, ease of use) in a way that your peers can understand.

· You are confident in talking with vendors to assess their capabilities and skilled in removing roadblocks to subcontracts.

· You know and work toward safe, efficient shop practices for volume manufacturing.

Do the responsibilities look vague? You bet they do. Come if you thrive in challenging projects with freedom to shape ambiguity into better solutions.

You’re a successful candidate if you are a giver, not a taker. You have an ability to make things happen. You are exceptional at several things, yet willing to take on efforts in areas of weakness. You don’t even know what “comfort zone” means.

· Demonstrated past ownership of complex projects.

· Ability to understand from first principles, not rely on the answers output from a mystery tool.

· Firm understanding of what's required for a good mechanical, electrical, soft goods, and/or fluid system design.

· Experience with several aerospace manufacturing methods for mechanical, electrical, and/or fluid systems.

· High degree of familiarity with CAD packages such as NX similar.

· 2+ years of experience in electrical or aerospace engineering.

· Bachelor’s degree in an applicable field.

· A proven history of successful hardware in launch vehicles or space systems.

· Experience working with environmental testing such as structural, vibe, shock, thermal, and/or radiation testing.

· Experience working with safety critical systems, pressure vessels, photovoltaics, docking and/or deployment mechanisms.

· Experience generating work instructions, build procedures, and check out procedures for flight critical parts.
