About the role
Integration Engineer to own design release, build, test, and delivery of key vehicle fluid, propulsion, and mechanism assemblies, serving as the technical bridge between design, manufacturing, and test in a fast-paced, first-principles environment.
Responsibilities
- Provide design feedback to improve manufacturability, assembly, testability, and integration for complex fluid and propulsion systems.
- Establish and maintain build roadmaps for assigned assemblies to align key stakeholders, drive hardware and tooling deliveries, and minimize build serialization.
- Develop and release build CONOPS, work instructions, standard processes, and procedures to enable high-quality, high-velocity execution.
- Lead and support first-article builds in an early-stage, rapid-development environment, identifying and resolving issues in real time.
- Own design, process, and capital equipment trades to unlock key production capabilities and support scalable manufacturing infrastructure.
- Drive make-vs-buy decisions and collaborate closely with design engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
- Provide hands-on support during build, integration, and test operations, ensuring technical issues are addressed quickly and effectively.
- Support test readiness activities, including component and system pressurization, leak checks, actuator functional tests, and propulsion integration.
- Drive continuous improvement across the production floor — including tooling, ERP/MES workflows, build documentation, and internal specifications.
- Champion a safety-first mindset, especially during hazardous or high-pressure operations.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in hardware integration, assembly, or manufacturing of fluid, propulsion, or mechanical systems.
- Familiarity with aerospace assembly best practices, including precision fitting, torque control, and contamination prevention.
- Exposure to tolerance stack-up analysis, system P&ID development, actuator testing, leak checks, and valve assembly or test.
- Strong understanding of GD&T, CAD modeling, and first-principles design and analysis.
- Proven ability to communicate effectively across design, manufacturing, supply chain, and test organizations.
- Demonstrated initiative and ownership, with the ability to define and implement new processes from scratch.
