Description
The CompanyAstra's mission is to Improve Life on Earth from Space by creating a healthier and more connected planet. Today, Astra offers one of the lowest cost-per-launch dedicated orbital launch services of any operational launch provider in the world, and one of the industry's first flight-proven electric propulsion systems for satellites, Astra Spacecraft EngineTM. Astra delivered its first commercial launch to low Earth orbit in 2021, making it the fastest company in history to reach this milestone, just five years after it was founded in 2016. Astra (NASDAQ: ASTR) was the first space launch company to be publicly traded on Nasdaq.
As a Senior Quality Engineer at Astra, you will be tasked with the unique challenge to further enhance the maturity of Astra's quality management system and ensure defined processes and customer requirements are adhered to in regard to space craft engine manufacturing. As Astra scales up production of its Space Craft Engines, we need to further iterate on business processes, systems, and controls to ensure our hardware meets the highest level of quality and reliability for our customers. Astra is seeking an individual who has a strong technical background with regard to electro mechanical and mechanical assemblies and has a boots-on-the-ground type approach for problem-solving.
This role will be the second dedicated quality engineer for our space craft engine program, and will report directly to the chief engineer to apply more rigor to our existing quality program in order to create a world-class spacecraft engine manufacturing operation. The ideal candidate has extensive quality engineering and management experience working on high-reliability products, is self-driven and autonomous, and has demonstrated ability to scale up a quality system and processes in an efficient way. The ideal candidate would also have background and experience in contract manufacturing to apply skills and expertise in managing unique requirements for a variety of customers.
