We'reintentional,we'reunapologeticallycuriousandwe're100% committed toinnovatespace-based communications anddeliveractionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and ourplanetand enhance our overall quality of life.

The E-Space Manufacturing team builds the world's most advanced aerospace products at highrateand high precision.

As a Senior Industrial Engineer,you'llown the layout and process flow of our Arlington factory as it scales - working across every production area, from antenna and bus assembly to spacecraft assembly &testand boom manufacturing.You'lldesign facility layouts in AutoCAD, modelcapacityand material flow, and plan the workstations, lines, and equipment installs that let us ramp to rate. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who has laid out andoptimizedreal factories and wants to shape ours from the ground up. This position reports to the Manufacturing leadership team.

What you'll be doing:

• Own the HQ factory layout - develop and maintain facility layouts in AutoCAD as production scales from prototype to rate.
• Design end-to-end process and material flow across all production areas - antenna, bus assembly, spacecraft assembly & test, and boom manufacturing.
• Model capacity, takt, and line balance to plan equipment, workstations, and headcount for each production line.
• Plan and execute line moves, equipment installs, and facility readiness - footprint, utilities, safety clearances, and move-in logistics.
• Design workstation layouts, ergonomics, and 5S standards with our manufacturing, automation, and controls engineers.
• Optimize material flow from receiving to lineside - partnering with planning and shipping & receiving on warehouse and logistics.
• Run time studies and use floor data to drive throughput, space-utilization, and cost improvements.

What you will bring to this role:

• 5+ years of industrial or manufacturing engineering experience in a complex production environment.
• Expert AutoCAD skills for factory and line layout - this role owns the facility drawing set.
• Strong process-flow mapping, capacity analysis, line balancing, and time-study fundamentals.
• Working knowledge of Lean principles - value-stream mapping, 5S, and standard work.
