Full job description
Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.
Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.
Vast is looking for a Fluid Test Technician, reporting to the Supervisor, Integration, to support the development of the systems required for the build and test of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.
This will be a full-time, non-exempt position located in our Long Beach location.

Read and interpret Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
Execute aerospace integration practices including safety cabling, helicoil installation, and fastener/fitting torque
Operate heavy machinery (forklift, overhead equipment, etc.)
Implement continuous improvements to increase safety and test site productivity
Adhere to, enforce, and improve test processes and best practices
Work alongside engineers to build, test, and maintain fluid systems
Minimum Qualifications:
High school diploma or equivalency certificate
5+ years of experience in production, mechanical, or manufacturing environment

Ability to work overtime, varying hours, shifts, and weekends to support critical mission milestones
Ability to stoop, bend, crawl, and maneuver in tight spaces; physically able to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
Ability to perform in a fast-paced, rapidly changing work environment
Pay Range:
Fluid Test Technician I: $22.00-32.00/hr
