Owns rocket primary structure assemblies from initial build through production. Responsibilities include maintaining manufacturing bills of material, concepts of operations, schedules, work instructions, tooling and work-cell requirements; resolving shop-floor issues; improving production processes; and providing design-for-manufacturing feedback. The role collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, reliability, production, vendors, and factory development teams to transition aerospace hardware from prototypes into scalable production.

Owns the manufacturing processes for paint and thermal protection systems on the Terran R launch vehicle. Responsibilities include build-flow development, first-build support, mBOM and work-order creation, specification authoring, shop-floor issue resolution, process capability improvements, equipment acquisition and activation, and cross-functional collaboration. The role also mentors engineers and supports scalable, high-quality aerospace production.

Supports ERP, MES, and other enterprise applications in a manufacturing environment. Troubleshoots user issues, gathers requirements, assists with configuration, testing, deployments, UAT, training, and process improvements. Documents processes and solutions, analyzes system feedback, and collaborates with engineering, product, operations, and business stakeholders to improve system functionality and support workflows.

Owns paint and thermal protection system manufacturing processes for the Terran R launch vehicle, from design release through installation. Responsibilities include developing build flows, sequencing assemblies, creating manufacturing bills of materials and work orders, authoring specifications, resolving shop-floor issues, and improving production lines. The role collaborates with engineering, reliability, supply chain, and external partners while supporting aerospace manufacturing process development and scalability.

Own the architecture and stability of a shared core 3D CAD engine supporting multiple customer-specific products. Translate product requirements into scalable architecture, guide agentic software development, review AI-generated work, and lead customer-facing product engineering and enhancements. Collaborate across human and agent teams while maintaining mission-critical capabilities and supporting agentically generated designs.

Leads accounting for a manufacturing plant, overseeing close activities, cost accounting, inventory, fixed assets, capital projects, controls, reconciliations, and financial reporting. Partners with plant leadership, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, FP&A, and Corporate Accounting to improve financial insight and decision-making. Builds scalable accounting infrastructure for increased production, strengthens processes and controls, and develops the site accounting team.

Owns day-to-day accounting for a complex manufacturing site, including inventory, manufacturing costs, labor, fixed assets, capital projects, accruals, reconciliations, journal entries, and month-end close activities. Supports standard costing, variance analysis, physical inventories, audits, internal controls, and ERP improvements while partnering with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Corporate Accounting.

Supports primary structure assembly on the shop floor, removes production barriers, improves manufacturing processes, and standardizes work instructions and best practices. Collaborates with design, manufacturing, reliability, production, and vendor teams to provide manufacturability feedback. Applies engineering fundamentals, GD&T, drilling, trimming, fastening, machining, and inspection knowledge to support prototype and flight builds while making risk-based decisions in a high-pressure aerospace manufacturing environment.

Owns materials and processes engineering for Terran-R adhesives and sealants. Responsibilities include defining qualification envelopes, creating test plans, executing characterization campaigns, analyzing data, developing technical standards, improving processes, and supporting material selection, manufacturing, reliability, supply chain, failure analysis, flight qualification, and vehicle reuse.
