Process Engineering

Job Description

Who We Are

We are a small space technology company, working to design and deliver components for the next generation of lunar rovers. Collaborating closely with our sister companies throughout Europe we are leveraging our automotive and motorsports experience to provide cutting edge electric vehicle technology to the space sector.

Position Overview

The Process Engineer will be responsible for developing, optimizing, and executing manufacturing processes that enable the production of high-reliability space hardware. This role is highly hands-on, blending process development, design, prototyping, fabrication and production support. The ideal candidate thrives in a small-team environment, is comfortable wearing multiple hats, and can bridge the gap between design, manufacturing, and testing.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, document, and improve fabrication processes for aerospace components (e.g., machining, welding, additive manufacturing, composites, thin films, precision assembly).

Work closely with design engineers to ensure manufacturability and scalability of components.

Establish process controls, quality checks, and acceptance criteria for flight hardware.

Perform hands-on fabrication and assembly of prototype and production hardware.

Develop and maintain work instructions, travelers, and process documentation.

Troubleshoot and resolve process and fabrication issues in real time.

Collaborate with suppliers and vendors to qualify materials, tooling, and fabrication methods.

Contribute to design-for-manufacturing reviews and support rapid prototyping cycles.

Support environmental and functional testing of fabricated components.

Ensure compliance with industry standards and internal quality requirements (e.g., NASA/ESA standards, AS9100, ISO).

Qualifications

Required

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience).

4+ years of experience in process engineering, fabrication, or manufacturing (aerospace, medical, or other high-reliability industry preferred).

Familiarity with process documentation, work instructions, and quality management systems.

Experience with CAD/CAM tools and GD&T.

Excellent problem-solving, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis skills.

Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, small-team environment and adapt to shifting priorities.

Preferred

Experience in aerospace or space hardware fabrication (e.g., vacuum-rated assemblies, propulsion systems, lightweight structures).

Knowledge of additive manufacturing (metal or polymer) and post-processing methods.

Familiarity with cleanroom practices, contamination control, and aerospace material standards.

Knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, or NASA/ESA process standards.

Prior experience working in a startup or small company environment.

What We Offer

Opportunity to directly impact the development of spaceflight hardware.

Hands-on involvement in the full product lifecycle: design, build, test, and launch.

Small, dynamic team with high visibility and autonomy.

Competitive compensation and benefits package.

Career development and training opportunities.

A collaborative environment where your contributions shape the future of space technology.
