Manufacturing Engineer II - Test & Launch Structures

Overview In this role you will lead fabrication and integration efforts for Terran R, partnering with test and launch design teams to implement optimal manufacturing solutions. You will own integration processes, coordinate with vendors, and guide cross-functional collaboration across fluids, civil, electrical, and mechanical disciplines. You’ll ensure manufacturability and meet design tolerances, shaping how we scale aerospace production. This is a high-impact, hands-on position in a program that spans from first flights to reuse and high-cadence operations.
