Who We Are

We are a small space technology company, working to design and deliver components for the next generation of lunar rovers. Collaborating closely with our sister companies throughout Europe we are leveraging our automotive and motorsports experience to provide cutting edge electric vehicle technology to the space sector.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Senior Space Systems Assembly Technician to support the manufacturing, assembly, and integration of precision aerospace and spaceflight hardware. This role combines mechanical and electrical assembly expertise, with hands-on responsibility for high-reliability electro-mechanical systems, structures, battery modules, and wire harnesses in a controlled cleanroom environment.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical proficiency across both mechanical and electrical disciplines, thrives in a quality-driven setting, and is capable of working independently while mentoring junior technicians and contributing to process improvements in a fast-paced precision startup.

Key Responsibilities

Perform precision assembly of aerospace hardware, including:
Mechanical structures, subassemblies, and bolted/welded components
Battery module and pack integration (cell handling, interconnects, insulation, and enclosures)
Wire harness fabrication, cable routing, termination, and installation
Execute electro-mechanical integration tasks such as connector mating, torque-controlled fastening, soldering, crimping, and cable management
Interpret and work from complex engineering drawings, schematics, BOMs, CAD models, and detailed work instructions
Conduct precision measurements and verifications using calibrated tools (torque wrenches, calipers, micrometers, multimeters, etc.)
Perform hand soldering of through-hole and surface-mount components per industry standards
Complete and maintain comprehensive build documentation, including travelers, inspection records, test data, nonconformance reports (NCRs), and rework logs
Conduct in-process and final inspections, verifying critical features, torque values, electrical continuity, insulation resistance, and workmanship criteria
Support battery handling, ESD-sensitive operations, and high-reliability processes while strictly adhering to safety and contamination control protocols
Maintain cleanroom standards, including gowning, tool cleanliness, and FOD prevention
Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to identify process improvements, update work instructions, and support root cause analysis and corrective actions
Mentor and train junior technicians on best practices for assembly, documentation, and quality standards
Contribute to prototype and low-volume production builds in a dynamic, evolving environment
Maintain tools, workstations, and materials in accordance with company and industry standards
Applicants must be legally authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. and must not require sponsorship for employment in the future.

Basic understanding of welding processes (TIG/MIG) and inspection criteria
Experience with aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and composite materials
Familiarity with ERP/MES systems for build tracking
Prior cleanroom experience (ISO Class 7 or 8) and contribution to process development in R&D or low-volume production environments

Physical Requirements

Ability to work in a cleanroom environment with full gowning
Ability to lift up to 40 lbs.
