About the Organization

Evona is partnered with a VC-backed advanced space infrastructure company developing expandable habitat systems for lunar exploration, low Earth orbit, and future deep-space missions.

The team is building large, human-rated expandable structures that combine soft goods assemblies and metallic structures, enabling lightweight, high-volume space habitats for sustained human presence beyond Earth.

The Role

As a Spacecraft Manufacturing Engineer, you will define and implement the manufacturing processes, tooling, and build flows required to produce large expandable space habitat structures. You'll work closely with engineering, quality, and test teams to translate complex designs into repeatable, flight-ready manufacturing processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and document manufacturing processes for expandable habitat structures
• Translate engineering designs into certifiable build and assembly workflows
• Design and support specialized tooling, fixtures, and handling equipment
• Lead integration of soft goods and rigid structures
• Support manufacturing-related testing, qualification, and anomaly resolution
• Collaborate closely with Quality Assurance and Safety teams

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering
• Strong background in aerospace or spacecraft manufacturing and integration
• Experience with flight-certified manufacturing processes and QA documentation
• Familiarity with NASA or similar human-spaceflight standards
• Hands-on, detail-oriented approach to building real hardware

Why This Role

• Work on groundbreaking lunar habitat hardware in a well-funded startup
• See direct impact of your work on flight-bound systems
• Join a small, mission-driven engineering team building the future of human spaceflight
