Job summary

K2 Space Corporation in Los Angeles seeks a Senior Electro-Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer to own manufacturing development for integrated avionics systems and drive transition to production. You will define production-ready build flows, capacity models, and tooling strategies, while reducing risk, cost, and cycle time.

In your first year you will lead implementation of advanced manufacturing techniques on flight hardware and transition prototype processes into stable, rate-capable production

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, aero space, orother relevant engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in a high volume, rapid production environment in a manufacturing,integration,and/ordesignengineeringrole
• Demonstrated results with product development and/or process improvements
• Experience leading first article builds and transitioningprototypeprocesses into repeatable production
• Experience setting up and scaling production lines in a rapid development environment
• Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive design changes for manufacturability
• Experience designing tooling for mechanical subassembliesand electroni cs
• Demonstrated leadership of small engineering teams or technical ownership of major subsystems
• Deep familiarity with aerospace manufacturing standards (IPC soldering standards, torque/welding standards, quality systems, AS9100 environments)
• Demonstrated experience developing production processes from the ground up including driving design improvements for manufacturing
• Strongworking knowledge ofCAD software (NX or equivalent) and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&Ts)
• Experience working with MES to set upthefoundation for procedure creation anddocumentingnon-conformances

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end manufacturing strategy for subsystems from concept through production ramp
• Lead DFM efforts with design engineering, influencing architecture decisions tooptimizefor cost, quality,scalabilityand integration risk
• Architect scalable production flows for large spacecraft assemblies including electromechanical systems, harnessing, and mechanisms
• Develop and deploy advanced manufacturing technologies, automation concepts, and tooling systems to support increasing production rate
• Establishproductionreadiness plans including control plans, work instructions, takt alignment, and line balancing
• Mentor and develop junior manufacturing engineers and technicians, raising the technical bar across the organization
• Lead first article builds and flight hardware integration, resolving complex cross-functional technical issues
• Develop capacity models and rate ramp strategies to support program growth
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, yield improvement, andproductionrobustness
