Build Engineer (Sign On Eligible)

We are hiring Build Engineers to own modules of the engine end-to-end: concept, design, drawings, supplier interface, first article, assembly, and test integration. You will not hand a drawing to 'manufacturing.' You are manufacturing — and design, and supply chain, and the test stand tech you brought a coffee to this morning. You will delete parts. You will simplify interfaces. You will put your hands on hardware. And when your module fires on the test stand, it will fire because you made it fire.

Responsibilities

Own a module of the Superpower engine — turbomachinery, mechanical systems, or structures/integration — from requirements through test; Drive design decisions that minimize part count, simplify assembly, and shorten the path from drawing to hardware; Live at the interface between design and fabrication: work directly with in-house shop and external suppliers to get parts made right, fast, and on budget; Integrate hardware onto test stands; Watch it run; Break it; Fix it; Ship the next rev; Raise the bar on everyone around you

Requirements

A degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering — or equivalent hands-on experience; Real DFM/DFA intuition; Hands-on experience turning a design into actual hardware, preferably in a high-consequence environment (aerospace, automotive at scale, defense, energy, race cars, robotics); A track record of making things simpler, cheaper, and faster to build; Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State

Nice to have

Believe the shop floor is the most interesting room in the building; Equally comfortable talking to the machinist making your part as the CFD or FEA analyst who set the requirements; Strong opinions, held loosely; Prefer to change your mind today than defend a bad idea for six months
