Description:Role Overview
As a Technician supporting spaceflight hardware, you
will help fabricate, assemble, test, and maintain
components and systems used in space applications.
This role combines hands-on mechanical and
electromechanical work with careful documentation
and adherence to engineering specifications.
You will work from schematics, engineering drawings,
and written or verbal instructions to build and support
high-precision hardware. Your work directly
contributes to the quality, reliability, and performance
of spaceflight systems.

Key Duties / Responsibilities
• Fabricate, construct, assemble, and maintain
electronic, mechanical, and electromechanical
components and systems
• Perform composite lay-up, fabrication, and assembly
activities
• Assemble precision mechanical components for
spaceflight hardware
• Troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and diagnose
equipment and devices
• Operate machining tools, lathes, CNC machines, and
other related equipment (as applicable)
• Conduct tests and document results in the required
format
• Support engineering teams by performing
experiments and tests in fabrication or laboratory
environments
• Evaluate processes and help identify and isolate
process issues
• Implement experiments, collect results, maintain
logs, and provide written and/or verbal reports
• Monitor process controls, materials, and supplies to
ensure proper function
• Verify quality in accordance with statistical process
or other control procedures
• Communicate process or equipment concerns to
engineers and advise operators as needed

Work Environment
This role is based in a manufacturing and/or
processing laboratory environment focused on
spaceflight hardware.
• Work is performed under general supervision
• Tasks require attention to detail and adherence to
engineering documentation
• The pace is steady and quality-driven, with a strong
focus on precision and process control
• Collaboration with engineers, operators, and other
technicians is part of the daily workflow
