This role is for a highly dynamic and motivated individual that will work on with manufacturing engineers to construct instructions and processes for technicians performing test operations. To be successful in this role you will need to define, procure, setup, and maintain test fixtures and test support equipment. You will partner with fixture and harnessing teams to ensure component standardization across the program. You will create the foundational production system standards and processes needed to achieve rate production.Key job responsibilities
- Serve as a point of support for environmental test equipment and processes
- Create spacecraft hardware test procedures for technicians (standard operating procedures) and unblock issues arising during test operations
- Establish and increase the efficiency of environmental test processes to maximize output and enable products to rapidly transition from engineering development to rate production
- Identify improvement opportunities and execute initiatives to maintain safe operations, ensure product quality, reduce lead time and increase productivity
- Troubleshoot and identify ultimate root cause of issues in environmental test processes and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence
- Establish production processes for 5S, FOD control, tool management, calibration procedures and visual management of production tooling and equipment
- Enable production test autonomy by challenging requirements, simplifying work procedures, and automating actionsExport Control Requirement:A day in the life
