At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out‑of‑the‑box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross‑functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands‑on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward‑thinking individuals to join our team.

We are looking to add a Senior Electronics Manufacturing Engineer I to our team. If you enjoy working in a startup environment and are passionate about developing leading‑edge manufacturing processes for high‑reliability, high‑volume satellites, we would like to hear from you.

In this position, you will be responsible for the manufacturing of Cesium’s diverse array of electronic assemblies for satellites and other aerospace platforms. Cesium partners with contract manufacturers (CMs) to fabricate and assemble our products; as such, you will serve as Cesium’s in‑house expert and primary point‑of‑contact for our CMs. Day‑to‑day responsibilities range from highly technical manufacturing analysis and design – such as choosing solder chemistries and root‑causing non‑compliances – to administrative functions like supplier review and process documentation.

Your work will have a direct impact on the success of the company. You will work closely with the engineering team, program management, and external contract manufacturers to industrialize space products for a growing market that combines the rigor of space with the scale of commercial electronics.

• Experience with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) of electronics hardware.
• Knowledge of industry standards such as IPC‑A‑610 and J‑STD‑001.

• Experience with cost analysis, managing suppliers, and configuration management.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Experience

• Statistical process control.
• Experience in aerospace or other high‑reliability industries.
• Proficiency with PLM and ERP software.
