Responsibilities

As a Senior Build Reliability Engineer, you’ll be the person who ensures that every satellite we ship is built to fly. You will own quality and reliability from the moment raw materials hit our dock to the moment a finished vehicle leaves for the launch site. You’ll dig into failures, find the root cause, and make sure it never happens again. You’ll write the quality plans and build the processes that let us scale from building a few spacecraft to building many, without compromising the reliability that missions demand.
Being hands-on will be part of your routine as you’ll work alongside engineers and technicians, shaping how hardware gets built. You’ll influence design decisions with data from the production floor. You’ll help establish the manufacturing practices that will underpin Commercial, National Security, and Science missions spanning LEO, MEO, GEO, Cislunar, and Deep Space.
If you want to build the quality culture in a fast paced environment and enable high-rate satellite manufacturing at scale, this is the role.
Own and execute quality plans across assigned build programs, from receiving inspection through integration, test, and vehicle handoff at the launch site
Lead failure investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective action efforts; drive containment activities that reduce risk and improve reliability across production
Feed lessons learned from build non-conformances and test failures back into the design cycle, influencing future component iterations towards simpler, more robust, and more repeatable flight unit builds
Develop and continuously improve quality processes including non-conformance workflows, process controls, and PFMEAs for complex manufacturing and integration operations
Collaborate with manufacturing and design engineering teams to embed quality into the product lifecycle, ensuring quality plans support lean manufacturing and rapid production without sacrificing reliability
Support change control implementation by working with engineering teams to evaluate the quality and reliability impact of design and process changes
Define, track, and report key quality metrics and production reliability trends; build dashboards that provide leadership visibility into build health
Serve as the Build Reliability representative during design reviews, readiness reviews, and production milestone gates
