Responsibilities
Design production tooling and test equipment for high-reliability space component manufacturing environments (from piece part level through full assembly). Work hands-on with prototypes and production hardware to validate designs. Create detailed engineering drawings, 3D models, and technical documentation for tooling fabrication and use. Define specifications and design requirements for tooling solutions that meet stringent space-grade quality standards. Actively participate in tool tryouts and first article builds
Utilize standard CAD software platforms (Creo/NX) and engineering analysis tools to develop tooling concepts, detailed designs, and manufacturing drawings. Under general supervision, take designs from initial concept through final release in document control. Design fixtures, test equipment, handling devices, cabling assemblies, and related hardware for space component production and testing. Build or assist in building prototype tooling to prove out concepts
Collaborate with engineering staff and procurement to determine cost estimates for tooling designs and hardware. Interface directly with manufacturing, quality, and test teams on the production floor to develop solutions for production challenges while maintaining compliance with space industry standards and requirements
Specify and select materials and hardware necessary for tooling fabrication, including fasteners, structural materials, and specialized components suitable for cleanroom environments and high-reliability space applications. Hands-on procurement and evaluation of materials as needed
Conduct and participate in design reviews to verify proper form, fit, and function. Perform hands-on tolerance analysis and design validation activities in the production environment. Ensure tooling designs support contamination control and meet cleanliness requirements for space hardware. Troubleshoot and modify tooling directly as issues arise
Lead or support special improvement projects focused on tooling optimization, design standardization, and manufacturing process enhancement for space component production. Work directly with production teams to implement improvements
