Job description

AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications.

  • Partner with manufacturing engineers to troubleshoot and improve builds
  • Maintain strict quality, documentation, and configuration control standards
  • Inspect assemblies for structural integrity and dimensional accuracy
  • Support integration, modifications, and structural repairs as needed

What You Bring
  • 3+ years in manufacturing, aerospace structures, aircraft assembly, or precision mechanical build work
  • Experience with rivets, fasteners, and structural installs
  • Ability to read and work from blueprints and engineering drawings
  • Experience with metals (aluminum, titanium, stainless) and/or composites
