Knowledge of fabrication, welding, machining and assembly practices.
Able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high pressure fast-paced environment.
Ability to self-motivate and take the initiative to ensure your systems are functional and operating at peak performance.
Ability to adapt to shifting project and/or scope change requirements.
Ability to convey complex technical information clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical audiences.
Comfortable working in launch site environments with field testing, lifting equipment, and hazardous materials.
Willingness to support off-hour shifts during launch operations (nights/weekends as needed).
Demonstrated project management experience, including vendor management, ability to communicate with senior leaders, development of budgets and schedules, etc.
Basic working knowledge of standards and regulations (ASME, AWS, AISC, AFSPCMAN 91-710, NASA-STD-5005, GSFC-STD-8009, etc.).
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or related engineering discipline.

Extensive and demonstrated experience designing, operating, and maintaining hydromechanical systems, including hydraulic power units, cylinders, pumps, and valves.
Familiarity with data acquisition and control methods, and data analysis tools.
Demonstrated experience with standards and regulations (ASME, AWS, AISC, AFSPCMAN 91-710, NASA-STD-5005, GSFC-STD-8009, etc.).
Prior experience at a federal launch range (e.g., VSFB, CCSFS, KSC, WFF, PSC).
Familiarity with Atlassian products (i.e., Confluence and Jira) and version control systems (i.e., SVN, Bitbucket, etc.).
