Responsibilities

We're looking for a Manufacturing Engineer I to help turn rocket-engine designs into buildable, repeatable hardware as we build our propulsion manufacturing facility.
Reporting to the Head of Manufacturing, you'll own clearly scoped manufacturing tasks, from process planning and documentation to hands-on build support, with technical guidance and review from experienced engineers. You'll work alongside design engineers, machinists, and technicians to solve practical manufacturing problems and learn how engine components move from design through build, inspection, and test. This role is ideal for someone who is curious, enjoys working with hardware, follows through on commitments, and asks questions when help is needed.
This is a full-time, on-site Level 1 position in Kent, Washington, designed for new graduates and engineers with approximately one year of professional experience.
Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly reviews with design engineers, machinists, and technicians; identify potential build issues and propose improvements for review.
Develop and maintain routings, work instructions, manufacturing bills of materials, and build records for assigned parts and assemblies, with review from experienced engineers.
Support process selection and document build sequences and inspection steps for engine components using machining, joining, additive manufacturing, cleaning, assembly, or test processes.
Design simple tooling, fixtures, and handling aids in CAD, and help check their function and safety with experienced engineers and shop personnel before use.
Work alongside technicians and machinists during prototype and early production builds to help resolve routine build issues, document problems, and escalate decisions that require engineering or quality approval.
Collect inspection, cycle-time, and build data; help investigate nonconformances and implement approved corrective actions, rework, or repair instructions.
Assist with equipment installation and checkout, process trials, first-article builds, and supplier follow-up under the direction of experienced engineers.
Track assigned hardware and open actions through build and test, maintain configuration and traceability records, and help improve safety, quality, lead time, and repeatability.
