Manufacturing Engineer II, Integration & Test Verified today
About the Team
The Stage Manufacturing team turns design into reality, owning the build of Terran R's primary structures. Engineers and technicians collaborate with deep feedback loops to shape how we build better and faster. With a launch manifest and schedule, the team solves challenges in real time, optimizes for scale, and continuously improves processes. As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies.
About the Role
- Own hardware from design release through build, test, and delivery for engine or vehicle systems, taking full responsibility for execution readiness and product quality across subassemblies and integrated systems
- Develop and release detailed build flows, work instructions, and test procedures to enable repeatable, high-quality execution across first builds and maturing programs
- Support first article builds in a fast-paced environment, focusing on manufacturability, repeatability, and quality, while developing scalable processes for higher production rates
- Provide hands-on floor support during build and test, resolving issues in real time, incorporating technician feedback, and driving continuous improvement
- Coordinate across design, supply chain, production, and test teams to ensure part readiness, tooling availability, schedule alignment, and smooth handoffs between build stages
- Contribute to development of long-term manufacturing systems and infrastructure, including tooling strategies, ERP/MES workflows, and production documentation standards
About You
- Degree in engineering or a related technical field, with 2+ years of hands-on experience building and testing hardware in a manufacturing or integration environment
- Skilled at investigating hardware issues, resolving non-conformances, and driving root cause analysis with corrective actions
- Familiar with general assembly and test procedures, including tolerance stack-up analysis, structural proof testing, and pressurized leak checks
- Comfortable interfacing across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test teams to ensure hardware quality and schedule alignment
- Self-starter who can define and roll out new processes from scratch, working collaboratively with technicians, engineers, and external vendors
- Proficient in GD&T, CAD, and basic design or test analysis. Experience in at least two of: LOX cleanliness, leak checking, sensor checkouts, tube bending, tool design, crane operations, or subassembly builds
Nice to Have
- Experience supporting new aerospace product introduction or transitioning hardware from prototype to production, especially in high-rate or scaling environments
- Experience directly authoring and executing test procedures, including acting as test conductor for integrated system verification
- Familiarity with hazardous operations, fluid system safety, or test execution involving pressurized or high-risk environments
- Experience in fast-paced and lean environments, including direct vendor engagement, tool development, or leading small teams through ambiguous build or test efforts
