Title: Senior Mechanical Assembly Technician
Location: Onsite in Northridge, CA
Duration: 12-month contract (multi-year extensions, conversion to FTE possible) 
Compensation: $50/hr – $55/hr
Work Requirements: US Citizen

Role Overview: We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Assembly Technician to support the assembly, integration, and verification of spaceflight and avionics hardware that interfaces directly with satellite systems. This is a hands-on, senior-level role for someone who goes beyond following instructions — a technician who can identify issues, take initiative, and help improve assembly processes and documentation.

This role supports high-reliability mechanical hardware built in cleanroom environments and requires strong experience working from Siemens NX 3D CAD models, as well as the ability to create, validate, and refine assembly instructions for space hardware.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble, integrate, and support test of mechanical and electro-mechanical space / avionics hardware that interfaces directly with satellite systems

• Work directly from Siemens NX 3D CAD models to interpret assemblies and guide build activities

• Design, author, and improve assembly instructions/procedures

• Identify incorrect, incomplete, or unclear assembly documentation and proactively flag issues to engineering and manufacturing leadership

• Apply deep understanding of torque methods, fastener selection, and precision mechanical assembly across varied hardware configurations

• Perform work in cleanroom environments, following contamination control, ESD, and handling requirements

• Support hardware through assembly, integration, rework, and test cycles

• Partner closely with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Test teams to resolve build issues and improve hardware quality

Required Qualifications (Must-Have)

• 10+ years of experience in senior mechanical assembly for spaceflight, satellite, or avionics hardware

• Hands-on experience assembling mechanical components that attach directly to satellites or space systems

• Strong experience working in cleanroom environments

• Ability to read and work from Siemens NX 3D CAD models for assembly and integration

• Experience creating, validating, or revising assembly instructions and build documentation

• Strong understanding of torque applications, fasteners, and precision mechanical builds

• Demonstrated ability to take initiative, identify problems, and escalate or correct issues before they impact hardware quality

• Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-ownership aerospace environments

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Background in space systems, satellite hardware, or high-reliability avionics

• Prior experience supporting design-for-assembly (DFA) or early hardware development builds

• Experience supporting hardware through environmental or functional testing

• Prior collaboration with design engineers on hardware iteration and process improvement
