Fabrication Specialist, Reflector
Reflect Orbital
At Reflect, you will be expected to move fast, have a lot of ownership and, most importantly, be able to effect change. If this excites you, we are interested in hearing about your best work and accomplishments across any domain and from any points in your life.
About the Role
As a Reflector Fabrication Specialist, you will be responsible for working in a very hands on R&D fabrication environment, specifically helping us construct large reflectors made from thin-film plastics. To us, this is an art, and like all art, it requires skill and a keen eye for detail. We encourage people who enjoy detailed oriented work like sewing and origami to apply, and familiarity with cutting and handling fabrics and thin sheets of materials will be very helpful.
Responsibilities
Turn reflector designs into testable units using hand and machine tools
Design and build jigs and custom tooling to make reflector prototyping more efficient, high quality, and precise
Work closely with engineering to identify and communicate design problems
Design and fabricate or purchase infrastructure necessary to make and handle very large reflectors
Ideal Qualifications
Experience making beautiful, hand crafted, detailed models on a tight timeline
Basic experience with CAD and designing custom jigs and tools
Comfortable independently using tools like laser cutters, vinyl cutters, hand tools, and able to learn how to use new tools quickly
Clean room experience
Great candidates range from tailors, architects, sculptors, artists to people who have fabricated hardware for the space environment
Even if you don't meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.
We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.
