Responsibilities
Architect Future Manufacturing Systems: Define the strategic roadmap for Voyager’s next-generation manufacturing capabilities. You will lead the design of automated, AI-enabled production environments that can seamlessly switch between high-mix/low-volume prototypes and scaled production
Drive AI & Automation Integration: Lead the implementation of modern AI tooling to revolutionize production. This includes deploying computer vision for automated quality assurance, using ML for predictive maintenance on propulsion production lines, and utilizing generative design for tooling and fixturing
Cross-Disciplinary Unification: Create a unified manufacturing strategy that spans vastly different domains—from the clean-room precision required for mission-critical electronics to the safety and chemical engineering rigor required for propulsion and energetics
Bridge R&D to Production: Influence the design phase (DFM/DFA) to ensure that technologies developed in the lab (TRL 3-6) have a viable, scalable path to mass manufacturing, specifically for complex chemical and mechanical systems
Digital Thread Implementation: Champion the development of a robust 'digital thread' that connects engineering CAD/PLM data directly to shop floor automation and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), ensuring real-time visibility and traceability
