About the Role
Canada Rocket Company is building a sovereign launch capability for Canada. This role focuses on driving the selection, qualification, and control of materials and fabrication processes for flight-ready hardware, bridging materials science, engineering, production, quality, and supply chain.
Responsibilities
- Define and execute the material and manufacturing engineering approach for structures, including material selection, process development, fabrication planning, producibility, industrialization, and build support.
- Develop and maintain material specifications, process specifications, qualification plans, and workflows.
- Characterize and evaluate material behavior relevant to design and manufacturing.
- Define, develop, optimize, and control fabrication processes for vehicle structural elements.
- Develop manufacturing plans, traveler documents, work instructions, build sequences, and process flows for safe, repeatable, efficient fabrication of flight hardware.
- Partner with design teams to align metallic hardware concepts with process capability, source availability, and production constraints.
- Support development and maturation of key manufacturing methods.
- Identify, qualify, and mature suppliers for critical raw materials, forgings, and fabricated components.
- Support sourcing decisions considering material pedigree, source considerations, lead times, certifiability, traceability, and scalability.
- Lead or support failure analysis and manufacturing investigations.
- Resolve shop-floor and production issues including non-conformances, rework paths, process escapes, yield issues, and fabrication anomalies.
- Contribute to technical reviews, trade studies, and development planning related to materials, manufacturing methods, production scaling, and hardware risk reduction.
Requirements
- Experience in manufacturing engineering, materials engineering, or process engineering for metallic aerospace hardware or similarly demanding hardware environments.
- Strong understanding of metallic material systems and their performance, manufacturability, durability, and cost implications.
- Experience developing, utilizing, supporting, or optimizing fabrication processes for hardware (machining, welding, forming, joining, heat treatment, or assembly).
- Strong understanding of the interaction between materials and manufacturing methods and their impact on hardware characteristics.
- Experience creating or managing manufacturing documentation, process flows, work instructions, build plans, or fabrication sequences.
- Strong engineering fundamentals related to material behavior, manufacturing process capability, producibility, and practical hardware realization.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with design engineering, production, operations, suppliers, and adjacent technical teams in a fast-paced hardware environment.
- Strong communication and technical judgment, with the ability to make sound decisions balancing performance, manufacturability, schedule, scalability, and cost.
- Must hold a current P.Eng License, in good standing.
