Role Overview

We are seeking a senior, broadly capable Materials & Processes (M&P) engineer to own the coatings, materials, finishes, joining methods, and manufacturing-process standards that support our spacecraft programs—from early development through qualification and production.

This is a high-impact technical role for an engineer who combines deep materials judgment with a practical, hands-on approach to spacecraft hardware. You will develop material-selection and process-control strategies, define qualification and acceptance approaches, solve material and manufacturing problems, and work directly with design, manufacturing, test, quality, suppliers, and external laboratories.

Initial priorities include building high-confidence internal capability for spacecraft coatings and finishes—including a production-transferable white-paint process—alongside polymerics/adhesives, t
