AI Summary

Beyond Reach Labs is seeking a Head of Production to transform hand-built prototypes of large space deployable structures into a repeatable, qualified production line. The role spans building the shop, processes, and team from scratch, guiding units from qualification and flight hardware through to volume production, and managing quality systems and the supply chain. It suits someone who has built high-reliability spaceflight hardware and wants to create a production operation at a frontier aerospace company.

Job Description

They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.

At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development.

To make this possible, our deployables need to move from hand-built prototypes to a repeatable, qualified production line. As Head of Production, you will be responsible for building, scaling, and leading the production of our deployable structures, from the first qualification and flight units to production at volume. You will be entrusted to build the shop, processes, and team from the ground up.

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.

  • 4+ years of experience building spaceflight, launch vehicle, or similar high-reliability hardware.

  • Experience taking at least one product from prototype to repeatable production.

  • Experience writing work instructions, travelers, and nonconformance processes for flight hardware.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience standing up a production team or facility from zero.

  • Working knowledge of AS9100 quality systems.

  • Experience with deployable mechanisms, solar arrays, or cable-tensioned structures.

  • Supplier development experience for precision machining, composites, or coatings.

  • Project management experience for hardware builds.

Additional Requirements:
