A day in the life
The Propulsion Lab Engineer is responsible for supporting a variety of tasks on the manufacturing line. Lab Engineers work closely with Manufacturing and Test Engineers as well as technicians building hardware. Lab engineers help identify issues during production of hardware and proactively work to fix them. They implement process improvements (5S, equipment SOPs, fixturing, etc) to ensure cycle time and quality requirements are met on the production line.

A successful candidate thrives in a fast-paced production environment and can work with ambiguity. They seek to learn constantly and identify new ways of solving problems.
