ABOUT US:

Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future. Our mission is to democratize high-speed flight by making supersonic travel flexible, accessible, and sustainable. We believe that rapid, on-demand, point-to-point global mobility will become the new standard for moving people and goods across the planet. To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies—which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system—with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today. In the near term, we are developing adaptable, high-speed systems to close aircraft performance gaps for the United States government.

WHO WE ARE:

We’re a team of passionate engineers dedicated to advancing aerospace. We’re generalists with specialist depth, united by a flat structure and a shared obsession with building things that work well. We move fast, stay pragmatic, and let engineering excellence speak louder than hierarchy.

WHO YOU ARE:

Astro Mechanica is building next-generation propulsion, and our facilities have to move as fast as our engineering. We’re hiring a Plant Manager to own day-to-day operations across our San Francisco sites: manufacturing, test/prototyping, and office, reporting to the Head of Facilities. You’ll take operational ownership of running the sites so the facilities function can scale: uptime, safety, vendors, and execution of upgrade projects. In addition, you’ll be instrumental in establishing and building the expansion of supersonic aircraft & system manufacturing and test facilities, helping to usher in a new age of supersonic flight.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

- Own daily operations of our design, manufacturing, and test/proto sites, including facility upgrades in flight (electrical, compressed air, equipment installs)

- Manage contractors and vendors end-to-end: quotes, scheduling, qu...
