About the RoleJob Description Summary
As a Structures Build Engineer on the Dream Chaser team, you are responsible
for design for manufacturing, tooling, and establishing the overall build
plans for spacecraft systems that will expand and expedite humanity's
ongoing access to space. On this team, you would get the chance to own the
build of large spacecraft primary and secondary structures. This role will
work heavily alongside both the design and production teams across the Dream
Chaser and Cargo Module programs. The role requires direct involvement in the
component builds and integration of assemblies; acting as one of the primary
driving forces to the successful builds of these vehicles.
Build Engineers will be highly engaged in the fabrication, test, and
integration of a wide range of vehicle and production systems, including
designing tooling and processes to rapidly build the Dream Chaser vehicles. As
the build progresses, this role will be responsible for integration
operations sequencing, and working with technicians to install
flight-critical hardware on the vehicle. Build Engineers will be expected to
sometimes step in as acting supervisors and advisors to production
technicians, quality technicians, and other skilled labor partners.
As an Integration Engineer on the Dream Chaser team, you will be part of the
team responsible for build and integration of the fluids and propulsion,
