About the RoleJob Description Summary As a Structures Build Engineer on the Dream Chaser team, you are responsible for design for manufacturing, tooling, and establishing the overall build plans for spacecraft systems that will expand and expedite humanity's ongoing access to space. On this team, you would get the chance to own the build of large spacecraft primary and secondary structures. This role will work heavily alongside both the design and production teams across the Dream Chaser and Cargo Module programs. The role requires direct involvement in the component builds and integration of assemblies; acting as one of the primary driving forces to the successful builds of these vehicles.

Build Engineers will be highly engaged in the fabrication, test, and integration of a wide range of vehicle and production systems, including designing tooling and processes to rapidly build the Dream Chaser vehicles. As the build progresses, this role will be responsible for integration operations sequencing, and working with technicians to install flight-critical hardware on the vehicle. Build Engineers will be expected to sometimes step in as acting supervisors and advisors to production technicians, quality technicians, and other skilled labor partners. As an Integration Engineer on the Dream Chaser team, you will be part of the team responsible for build and integration of the fluids and propulsion, electrical and harnessing, and mechanism systems across the Dream Chaser and Cargo Module vehicles. This role will work heavily alongside both the design and production teams and is responsible for design for manufacturing, concepting tooling, establishing the overall build plans, and supporting execution of the production floor for spacecraft systems. The role requires direct involvement in the component builds through integration of complete vehicle-wide systems; acting as one of the primary driving forces to the successful builds of these vehicles.
