Optical Precision Manufacturing Manager
Location: Detroit, MI
About Observable Space
At Observable Space, we're redefining how humanity observes and connects with the universe. We're a vertically integrated, high-growth, space technology company building industry-leading precision optics platforms for Earth and in space. Our systems are trusted by NASA, JPL, SpaceX, Boeing, Raytheon, and the US DoD, among others, and power the work of leading research institutions.
We combine precision opto-mechanical hardware, embedded computing, cloud orchestration, and developer-friendly APIs into world class products. From advanced ground stations, on orbit sensor suites, free space optical lasercom, to distributed compute platforms, we deliver the foundational systems enabling continuous, real-time navigation, observation, and communication in space.
Observable Space is backed by top-tier institutional investors including Lux, Upfront Ventures, RTX Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners and Embedded Ventures.
About the Role
Observable Space is seeking a Precision Manufacturing Manager to lead its optics production function. While deep optics expertise is not required, this role demands strong leadership in high-precision manufacturing environments and a demonstrated ability to deliver consistent, high-quality output at scale.
Optics are fundamental to overall system performance. This role is critical in ensuring that production processes are robust, repeatable, and capable of meeting rigorous quality and delivery standards. The position carries full responsibility for production execution, quality outcomes, and team development within the optics area, and offers the opportunity to contribute to some of the most advanced precision manufacturing and metrology processes in the industry.
What You'll Do
  • Provide leadership and development for a team of technicians and operators within the optics function
  • Drive production performance to meet schedule, yield, and quality objectives
  • Establish and optimize scalable, repeatable manufacturing processes
  • Reduce variability, scrap, and rework through disciplined process control
  • Strengthen documentation, standards, and operational rigor
  • Partner cross-functionally with engineering, assembly, and coating teams
  • Lead structured problem-solving and root cause analysis efforts
  • Ensure safe, organized, and high-performing production environments

What You'll Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in precision manufacturing environments (e.g., aerospace, medical devices, machining)
  • Demonstrated success leading teams in a production setting
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities
  • Track record of driving process improvements and measurable operational results
  • Intellectual curiosity and a first-principles approach to solving complex challenges

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Exposure to optics, metrology, or high-precision surface manufacturing
  • Experience with lean manufacturing or continuous improvement methodologies

Why You'll Love It Here
  • Be part of a mission-driven company helping shape the future of space infrastructure
  • The opportunity to build and scale a global managed services organization from the ground up
  • A collaborative culture that rewards initiative, curiosity, and results
  • Competitive salary, equity opportunities, and comprehensive benefits
