Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We are seeking a mid-level Materials & Process Engineer focused on manufacturing complex parts made from polymers and composites that push the boundaries of what's possible. This role centers on solving challenging part production problems by designing and building whatever equipment and process necessary to make build ultra-lightweight and load carrying structures. This role will be located in Saratoga, CA. What you'll be doing: Complex Part Engineering  Engineer solutions for producing parts with complex geometries, tight tolerances, and demanding specifications.  Solve process design challenges for parts with undercuts, variable wall thickness, multi-material construction, and precision features.  Develop approaches for parts that others consider unmanufacturable, with focus on volume production capability.  Work with advanced polymer and composite materials to create high-performance components for large-scale manufacturing. Problem-Solving Through Equipment Development  Build whatever equipment is needed to make complex parts work - forming presses, custom tooling, specialized fixtures, and high-throughput processing equipment  Create SolidWorks models and detailed drawings with proper GD&T for tooling and equipment designed for high volume processes.  Machine, weld, and assemble custom solutions when off-the-shelf equipment won't suffice for production requirements  Prototype rapidly until parts meet specifications consistently and processes are ready for scale-up Part Development & Manufacturing Solutions  Take on part challenges that require innovative manufacturing approaches capable of high-volume production  Design and build forming processes for complex brackets, housings, structural components, and precision assemblies with polymer and composite materials  Solve inserts, handling, and quality control challenges for difficult geometries in production environments  Develop repeatable, high-volume processes for complex parts that can efficiently scale to large production runs Hands-On Implementation  Build and test whatever tools, fixtures, and equipment are needed to make parts work at production volumes  Troubleshoot part quality issues and implement design solutions for volume manufacturing  Work directly with prototype parts to understand manufacturing constraints and scale-up opportunities for polymer and composite components  What you will bring to this role: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related technical field  3-6 year's experience solving complex part manufacturing challenges with focus on scalable processes  Expert-level SolidWorks skills including advanced modeling, drawings, and GD&T application  Experience with advanced materials and high-volume forming processes such as thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers.  Hands-on fabrication skills: machining, welding, assembly, and creative problem-solving  Track record of solving challenging manufacturing problems ...
