Manufacturing Engineering Manager (PCBA)

We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineering Manager (PCBA) with 5+ years of experience to lead and scale internal PCBA production capabilities for cutting-edge satellite hardware. You are a self-driven, detail-oriented production leader who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments and has a track record of transitioning products from development to high-rate production. You'll own the full production lifecycle—from equipment and process selection to factory layout, capacity planning, and new product introduction—ensuring mission-critical quality standards are met. This is a unique opportunity to build and lead a team at the forefront of space technology, directly impacting Astranis's ability to deliver on a $1 billion satellite backlog.

What will you be doing?

Lead a team of engineers, specialists, and technicians performing PCBA assembly and test operations for development and flight hardware

Develop and implement a robust production strategy to establish and scale internal PCBA production capabilities to meet aggressive factory rate targets

Champion Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) with design engineering to influence hardware designs for manufacturability

Own the physical production layout, optimizing material flow from receiving through all processes to finished product

Create metrics and tools to monitor production success (yield, on-time delivery) and drive continuous improvement across processes, tooling, and GSE
