Jobbeschreibung

Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.

Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.

Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world's toughest obstacles.

As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.

We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.

Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.

About the Role:

The New Product Introduction (NPI) Team is responsible for developing and scaling the assembly, integration, and test operations for our next generation of satellites. The manufacturing technicians and engineers on the team work together to establish the overall processes and work instructions for assembling and testing satellites from the component level through final spacecraft integration.

As a member of the NPI team, you will collaborate closely with design engineers, test engineers, and other cross-functional teams to ensure seamless execution and delivery of spacecraft.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy hands-on work in building and testing complex products and take a methodical approach to manufacturing operations. You will regularly exercise discretion, and independent judgment, and act in a highly autonomous way. You will be expected to make decisions independent of oversight.

This is a full-time, in-office position based in our Berlin Manufacturing Hub 5 days per week.

Impact You'll Own:

• Support the Assembly, Integration and Test of Satellites and subsystems
• Develop/document assembly procedures and work instructions
• Design mechanical and electrical equipment and fixtures to aid with assembly, integration, and testing
• Drive non-conformances to resolution and establish actionable process improvements
• Recommend facilities and capital equipment improvements for scaling our manufacturing processes to meet our production demand
• Participate in training of production technicians to transition the manufacturing line from R&D to production
• Provide DFM/DFA recommendations to design teams
• Monitor production metrics, identify areas for improvement, and implement corrective actions

What You Bring:

• 4+ years of relevant experience
• Bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing engineering
• Experience building satellites or similarly complex optical and electromechanical assemblies in a cleanroom environment
• Experience reading technical drawings
• Excellent SolidWorks skills to develop tooling & fixturing to interface with spacecraft and to extract useful views for use in work instructions
• Hands-on experience with hardware assembly, integration, and test
• Solid attention to detail and technical writing skills for documenting assembly and test processes

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Experience implementing successful continuous improvement processes
• Experience with Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software
