Job description

On behalf of our client, a fast-growing hypersonics company, we’re hiring a Senior Manufacturing Engineer with 5+ years of experience to own and scale the production of critical components for long-range strike systems. You'll join a team of elite engineers at a company with real product-market fit, active government contracts, and a substantial order for an early production run of units delivering in the coming years.

This is a 0-to-1 manufacturing environment where you'll drive the transition from prototype to scalable production of thousands of units per year. We need someone who has built and scaled manufacturing capacity, not just sustained it, and who thrives when given ownership over meaningful hardware.

What You'll Do

• Own a critical subsystem or component on the vehicle and drive its manufacturing success, defining processes, building capacity, and increasing reliability and efficiency
• Develop and scale production processes for complex hardware (composites, solid rocket motors, bonding/epoxy, machined components, or specialty materials processing)
• Transition development-stage manufacturing into production-ready assembly lines capable of delivering thousands of units per year
• Develop and refine process documentation including build instructions, test procedures, safety standards, and mBOMs
• Partner with design engineers to drive DFM decisions and cultivate resources needed to hit production deliverables

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, ideally in aerospace, defense, or another hardware-rich production environment
• Track record of building and scaling manufacturing capacity from prototype to high-rate production
• Experience with complex hardware manufacturing (composites, solid rocket motors, bonding/epoxy, machined components, or specialty materials)
• Proficiency with NX, Teamcenter, or similar CAD/PDM tools
• Experience developing process documentation, including build instructions, test procedures, and mBOMs
• Comfortable working around hazardous or energetic materials in a safety-critical environment
• Location: Torrance, CA or Rio Rancho, NM (5 days on-site)
• Full-time
• Not open to visa sponsorship (US citizens and Green Card holders only)
