Why this role matters:
This role secures the mechanical hardware our satellites are built from and the parts and materials our assembly, integration and test (AIT) teams rely on every day: built-to-print mechanical parts, mechanical assemblies, mechanisms, off-the-shelf (COTS) components, and consumables. Without them, satellites cannot be built, tested, and launched on schedule. Working closely with suppliers, engineering, and production, you’ll translate drawings and technical needs into reliable supply, manage risk, and support the scaling of satellite production.
