Role highlightsRole:Manufacturing EngineerDepartment:Space SystemsLocation:Valencia, SpainReports to : Engineering Manager, Space SystemsWorking type:HybridEmployment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)The Mission of the Manufacturing EngineerWe're looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to join our Space Systems team and own the manufacturability of electronic hardware from prototype through to production. In this role, you'll work closely with electronics designers and PCB manufacturers, reviewing layouts, driving DFM, and resolving fabrication and assembly issues before they become production problems. You'll be the technical bridge between our design engineers and our PCB/PCBA suppliers.This role is perfect for someone who's deeply comfortable with PCB design, fabrication, and assembly processes, and who enjoys catching manufacturability issues early and negotiating them out with suppliers.Day to day responsibilitiesReview schematics and PCB layouts for manufacturability (stackups, routing, power integrity, grounding, impedance control)DFM/DFA reviews (panelization, drill sizes, annular rings, solder mask, copper balancing)Review manufacturer DFM reports, negotiate design changes with fabricators/assemblersOwn ECOs arising from manufacturing feedbackManage PCB/PCBA documentation (Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, BOMs, pick-and-place)Support test strategy (flying probe, ICT, boundary scan, functional test, AOI, X-ray)Apply IPC standards to defect/root cause/failure analysisEvaluate component footprints/packages for assembly riskWork with fab/SMT partners on soldering, stencil design,



surface finishesManage PCB/PCBA supplier relationships (risk, issue tracking, scheduling)RequirementsMust have skills3+ years of experience in manufacturing/process engineering within aerospace, defense, or another high-reliability industry.Degree in Manufacturing, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience.PCB Design Review – Read schematics, review PCB layouts, understand multilayer stackups, evaluate routing, power integrity, grounding, impedance controlPCB Manufacturing (DFM) – Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), panelization, fabrication constraints, drill sizes, annular rings, solder mask rules, copper balancingPCB Quality – IPC standards (IPC-A-600, IPC-6012, IPC-610), defect analysis, root cause analysis, failure analysisManufacturing Communication – Review manufacturer DFM reports, answer engineering questions, negotiate design changes, manage engineering change orders (ECOs)CAD Tools – Any, but in particular Altium DesignerDocumentation – Gerbers, ODB++, IPC-2581, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, BOM management, pick‑and‑place filesTesting – Flying probe, ICT, boundary scan, functional testing, AOI,



X-ray inspectionComponent Knowledge – PCB footprints, package types, SMT, through‑hole, BGA, fine‑pitch componentsManufacturing Process – PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, reflow soldering, wave soldering, stencil design, PCB finishes (ENIG, HASL, OSP)Project Skills – Supplier management, risk assessment, issue tracking, schedule coordinationNice to have skillsExperience in space, defense, or avionics manufacturing environments.Exposure to ECSS, MIL-STD, or IPC-J-STD-001 (Space Addendum).Lean Six Sigma certification (Green/Black Belt).Familiarity with environmental test processes (thermal vacuum, vibration, EMC) as they relate to manufacturing handoff.BenefitsOur benefits are designed to support your health and wellbeing—at work and beyond.
