Job description

Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo's 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world's first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.
Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America's next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.
Vast is looking for an Avionics Manufacturing Engineer, reporting to the Senior Manager of Avionics, Manufacturing, to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.
This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location.

  • Identify and resolve manufacturing challenges by conducting root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions.
  • Work closely with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of high-quality avionics components, reviewing and approving supplier manufacturing processes.
  • Perform hands-on assembly, integration, and testing of avionics systems, ensuring compliance with engineering specifications and industry standards.
  • Participate in design reviews, providing valuable insights to improve the manufacturability and reliability of avionics components.
  • Collaborate with quality assurance teams to establish and maintain rigorous quality control processes for avionics manufacturing.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to enhance manufacturing efficiency, reduce waste, and improve overall product quality.
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in avionics manufacturing to drive innovation within the company.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

Preferred Skills & Experience:
  • Strong understanding of avionics systems, electronics manufacturing processes, and assembly techniques.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (such as Siemens NX) for reviewing designs and creating manufacturing documentation.
  • Familiarity with industry standards and regulations relevant to avionics manufacturing, such as IPC standards.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to perform root cause analysis.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross- functional teams.
  • Hands-on experience with testing and troubleshooting avionics systems is desirable.
  • Knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and Six Sigma methodologies is a plus.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work.

Additional Requirements:
  • Willingness to work overtime, or weekends to support critical mission milestones.
  • Ability to lift up to 25lbs unassisted.
