Manufacturing Engineer Technician

Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.

With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.

As an Manufacturing Engineer Technician focused on wire harnessing, you will be the hands-on bridge between engineering design and flight-ready hardware. You will be directly responsible for building, integrating, and testing the complex electrical arteries of our spacecraft and payload systems. We operate in a dynamic, prototype-to-production environment where you will not just follow instructions, but actively work to improve them. We want individuals with a deep sense of ownership who are relentless about quality and thrive in manufacturing environments.

What You Will Do

- First-Article Harnessing: Build, route, and test prototype and first-article wire harnesses, documenting the best methods for mass production.

- Process Development: Work with manufacturing engineers to draft, redline, and finalize work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the factory floor.

- Production Setup: Assist in the physical layout and organization of our newly renovated production rooms and R&D labs, helping to establish efficient feeder cells and the main satellite pulse line.

- System Integration: Cleanly integrate harnesses and avionics onto the spacecraft, directly interfacing with GNC and mechanical systems.

- Digital Tracking: Utilize our MES to log build progress, track material flow, and report defects, providing feedback to the engineering team on how to make the workflow smoother.

- Tooling & Equipment: Help design, assemble, and maintain custom manufacturing jigs, fixtures, and harnessing boards.

- Quality & Verification: Perform electrical continuity testing and qu...
