The Manufacturing Engineer I is responsible for supporting manufacturing process development, documentation, assembly operations, and quality compliance across inert electromechanical assemblies and energetic solid rocket motor (SRM) manufacturing operations. This is an entry-level opportunity designed to develop technical competency across Voyager's manufacturing operations through hands-on experience, structured on-the-job training, and mentorship from senior manufacturing engineers. Scope includes Divert Attitude Control System (DACS) electromechanical assembly processes as well as energetic propellant manufacturing operations. In this role, the essential functions are: Support manufacturing process development for inert DACS electromechanical assemblies and energetic SRM manufacturing operations under the direction of senior manufacturing engineers. Develop, write, and maintain work instructions, assembly travelers, process specifications, and manufacturing documentation for inert and live assembly operations. Participate in Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM&A), production readiness reviews (PRR), and program milestone activities, identifying and communicating manufacturability considerations. Support tooling activities, including requirements identification, receiving inspection participation, and maintenance documentation. Monitor process variables, collect and summarize manufacturing data, and identify and escalate deviations from established process control points. Support root cause and corrective action (RCCA) investigations for manufacturing non-conformances and contribute to process improvement activities. Maintain configuration management and documentation traceability for manufacturing artifacts, working with quality engineering to correctly apply applicable quality requirements. Provide hands-on manufacturing engineering support across Folsom and Reno operations, developing technical competency across inert electromechanical and energetic SRM manufacturing processes.
