Job description

Spacecraft represent the most pressing unmet need across the entire aerospace industry. As more launch vehicles come online and the cost to orbit decreases, more companies launching payloads to space continue to emerge.
For the first time in history, this influx of payload companies combined with reduced launch costs has resulted in a massive increase in need for commercial spacecraft platforms, known as satellite buses. These buses hold the payloads of our customers and are flown on launch vehicles.
Apex manufactures these satellite buses at scale using a combination of software, vertical integration, and hardware that is designed for manufacturing. Our spacecraft enable the future of society: ranging from earth observation to communications and more.
We'd love for you to join us on our mission of providing humankind access to the galaxy beyond our planet.
About the Role
Apex is seeking a skilled and experienced Staff NPI Manufacturing Engineer to help define and scale the manufacturing strategy for Comet, a next generation spacecraft platform with substantially different production requirements than prior programs. In this role, you will drive the development of scalable manufacturing systems, production methodologies, factory infrastructure, and new product introduction processes required to transition from low rate development builds into high-rate production. You'll work cross functionally with design engineering, production, supply chain, and leadership teams to ensure Comet is manufacturable, scalable, and operationally efficient from early architecture through production ramp.
Responsibilities:
  • Drive manufacturing strategy and NPI execution for Comet from early development through production ramp
  • Partner directly with product design and engineering teams to provide DFM/DFA feedback throughout concept development, PDR, CDR, and release phases
  • Develop scalable production methodologies suitable for medium-to-high rate spacecraft manufacturing
  • Lead planning and development of new production facilities including factory layout, workflow definition, line design, GSE planning, and equipment integration
  • Define manufacturing process flows, assembly strategies, tooling concepts, and production readiness plans
  • Collaborate with automation engineering teams to identify and implement automation and semi-automation opportunities across production
  • Support sourcing, commissioning, validation, and deployment of production equipment, tooling, and manufacturing systems
  • Partner closely with supply chain, production, and engineering leadership to achieve cost, quality, reliability, and production rate targets
  • Drive root cause investigations, process improvements, and manufacturing readiness initiatives during integration and build activities
  • Establish and maintain manufacturing documentation, process controls, configuration management practices, and NPI best practices
  • Contribute to long-term strategy around vertical integration, manufacturing insourcing, and development of future internal manufacturing capabilities
  • Help define and grow the future NPI Manufacturing Engineering organization as production scale and complexity increase

Requirements:
  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline
  • 8+ years of relevant industry experience in manufacturing engineering, NPI, production development, or factory engineering
  • Demonstrated experience scaling complex hardware products from prototype/development builds into production
  • Strong understanding of DFM/DFA principles, manufacturing process development, tooling design, and production system architecture
  • Experience planning or supporting factory development activities including facility layout, line design, equipment integration, or production ramp
  • Hands-on experience with manufacturing process validation, integration, hardware bring-up, and production troubleshooting
  • Experience working cross-functionally with design engineering, supply chain, quality, production, and test organizations
  • Strong understanding of configuration control, manufacturing documentation, process qualification, and engineering change management
  • Experience with automation systems, production equipment, or advanced manufacturing processes
  • Experience in aerospace, satellites, robotics, automotive, or other high complexity hardware industries
  • Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous development environments with high ownership and autonomy
  • Excellent communication and technical leadership skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive execution
