Job summary

Albedo, based in Broomfield, CO, is building the next generation of VLEO spacecraft hardware and production systems. We are seeking hands-on engineers to build, test, and optimize aerospace assemblies and wire harnesses, while collaborating across mechanical, electrical, and test disciplines to ensure robust, scalable hardware.

You will troubleshoot, document, and improve processes in a fast-paced startup environment.

Qualifications

• Five-plus years of hands-on experience building, testing, or troubleshooting aerospace or other complex electromechanical hardware.
• Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude across structures, mechanisms, avionics, harnessing, and test equipment.
• Experience fabricating and repairing wire harnesses, including crimping, soldering, connector assembly, and continuity testing.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot unfamiliar hardware using drawings, schematics, test equipment, and sound technical judgment.
• Experience working from engineering drawings, CAD models, bills of material, specifications, and controlled manufacturing documentation.
• Proficiency with common hand tools, precision measurement equipment, torque tools, multimeters, power supplies, and oscilloscopes.
• Familiarity with aerospace workmanship standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739.4, or equivalent.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation, and workmanship while balancing schedule and hardware risk.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced startup environment and supporting work outside a narrow job scope.

Responsibilities

• Build, assemble, test, troubleshoot, rework, and repair spacecraft hardware, ground-support equipment, and production equipment.
• Support mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluid, and electromechanical assembly and test activities.
• Fabricate and inspect wire harnesses with crimping, soldering, connectors, routing, labeling, and continuity testing.
• Read and work from engineering drawings, schematics, BOMs, work instructions, and test procedures.
• Diagnose hardware and process issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Develop and improve manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling, fixtures, inspection methods, and test setups.
• Provide hands-on manufacturing feedback to improve producibility, serviceability, and testability.
• Maintain build records, material traceability, test data, and as-built configuration.
• Support production-area, facility, equipment-installation, inventory, kitting, and stockroom projects.
• Train and mentor other team members on assembly techniques, workmanship, and equipment operation.
