What does an aerospace manufacturing engineer do?

An Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing manufacturing processes for aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and related systems. They work to ensure that aerospace products are built efficiently, meet quality standards, and adhere to strict safety regulations. Their duties often involve collaborating with design engineers, selecting appropriate materials, overseeing assembly lines, troubleshooting production issues, and implementing cost-effective manufacturing solutions. They play a key role in bridging the gap between design and production to bring aerospace innovations to life.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an aerospace manufacturing engineer?

To thrive as an Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical or aerospace engineering, strong analytical skills, and knowledge of manufacturing processes, typically supported by a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with CAD software, CAM systems, and quality management standards like AS9100 is critical, along with experience using simulation and process control tools. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help engineers excel in this high-stakes environment. These skills and qualifications are vital to ensure the design and production of safe, efficient, and reliable aerospace components that meet rigorous industry standards.

What are some common challenges faced by aerospace manufacturing engineers during the production process?

Aerospace Manufacturing Engineers often encounter challenges related to maintaining strict quality and safety standards while optimizing production efficiency. Balancing the need for precision with tight deadlines and cost constraints requires strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Additionally, engineers must frequently collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including design, quality assurance, and supply chain, to troubleshoot manufacturing issues and implement process improvements. Adapting to new technologies and evolving industry regulations is also an ongoing aspect of the role.

Job description

Zachary Piper Solutions is seeking an Aerospace Manufacturing Engineer (AIT) to join a high‑impact team supporting the production, assembly, integration, and testing of spacecraft hardware for a next‑generation satellite constellation. This role is hands‑on and mission‑critical, focused on manufacturing processes, build optimization, and quality assurance for aerospace assemblies rather than mechanisms design.

Key Responsibilities
  • Execute and optimize build processes for spacecraft hardware including structures, mechanical assemblies, deployment hardware, actuators, and precision components.
  • Develop and maintain work instructions, build documentation, and production travelers to support efficient, repeatable assembly operations.
  • Support AIT technicians on the manufacturing floor by resolving build blockers, improving processes, and ensuring hardware meets engineering requirements.
  • Develop, qualify, and operate tooling, jigs, fixtures, and ground support equipment (GSE) for assembly, integration, vibration, shock, and thermal testing.
  • Perform tolerance stack‑up reviews, fit checks, alignment verification, and torque applications to ensure hardware is built to spec.
  • Analyze production and test data; establish pass/fail criteria and support spacecraft integration and launch readiness.
  • Lead and support root‑cause analysis and corrective action (RCCA) for build issues, test anomalies, and non‑conformances; drive design‑for‑manufacturability (DFM) feedback to engineering.
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with design, quality, supply chain, and technicians to ensure manufacturability, quality, and throughput from prototype to mass production.
  • Recommend process improvements to reduce build time, increase reliability, and enhance product flow across production lines.
Qualifications
  • 2-5 years of hands‑on experience in aerospace manufacturing, mechanical assembly, production engineering, or AIT of mechanical/electromechanical hardware.
  • Proficiency in manufacturing processes, assembly operations, mechanical integration, and hardware testing.
  • Experience with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo) and test equipment (oscilloscopes, thermal chambers, metrology tools).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, beam loading, torque application, tolerance stack‑ups, and precision assembly practices.
  • Demonstrated problem‑solving abilities and experience supporting failure investigations or process issues.
  • Flexibility for occasional weekend and early morning work (e.g., 4 AM deployments).
Compensation
  • Salary Range: $85,000 – $140,000 (depending on experience)
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, Sick Leave as required by law, and Holidays
  • Additional Benefits: 10K relocation bonus + 5K temporary housing allowance, RSUs, $750- $1000 monthly Stipend, and Unlimited PTO (after 90 days)
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States
  • Location: 100% onsite in West TX
