Job Description

Role Overview

As a Technician supporting spaceflight hardware, you

will help fabricate, assemble, test, and maintain

components and systems used in space applications.

This role combines hands-on mechanical and

electromechanical work with careful documentation

and adherence to engineering specifications.

You will work from schematics, engineering drawings,

and written or verbal instructions to build and support

high-precision hardware. Your work directly

contributes to the quality, reliability, and performance

of spaceflight systems.

Key Duties / Responsibilities

• Fabricate, construct, assemble, and maintain
  
  

electronic, mechanical, and electromechanical

components and systems

• Perform composite lay-up, fabrication, and assembly
  
  

activities

• Assemble precision mechanical components for
  
  

spaceflight hardware

• Troubleshoot, calibrate, adjust, test, and diagnose
  
  

equipment and devices

• Operate machining tools, lathes, CNC machines, and
  
  

other related equipment (as applicable)

• Conduct tests and document results in the required
  
  

format

• Support engineering teams by performing
  
  

experiments and tests in fabrication or laboratory

environments

• Evaluate processes and help identify and isolate
  
  

process issues

• Implement experiments, collect results, maintain
  
  

logs, and provide written and/or verbal reports

• Monitor process controls, materials, and supplies to
  
  

ensure proper function

• Verify quality in accordance with statistical process
  
  

or other control procedures

• Communicate process or equipment concerns to
  
  

engineers and advise operators as needed

Work Environment

This role is based in a manufacturing and/or

processing laboratory environment focused on

spaceflight hardware.

• Work is performed under general supervision
• Tasks require attention to detail and adherence to
  
  

engineering documentation

• The pace is steady and quality-driven, with a strong
  
  

focus on precision and process control

• Collaboration with engineers, operators, and other
  
  

technicians is part of the daily workflow

A high school diploma or equivalent and at least 1

year of related experience are typical minimums for

this role.

Company Mission & Program Overview

This role supports the engineering and fabrication

efforts behind spaceflight hardware development. The

work contributes to the successful build, testing, and

performance of systems designed for space

applications.

By ensuring components are built, tested, and

documented accurately, you help maintain the

standards required for mission-critical hardware.

Why LM

LM offers the opportunity to work on advanced

spaceflight hardware in a structured, engineering-driven environment. Technicians are trusted

contributors who play a critical role in fabrication

quality, process improvement, and mission readiness.

You will work alongside engineers and skilled

operators in a setting that values precision,

accountability, and continuous improvement.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• You’ll work hands-on with real spaceflight hardware
  
  

—not theoretical projects

• Your attention to detail will directly impact mission
  
  

success

• You’ll build technical depth in fabrication, testing,
  
  

machining, and process control

• You’ll gain experience collaborating closely with
  
  

engineering teams

• You’ll contribute to meaningful, high-stakes work in
  
  

the space industry

If you’re a detail-oriented technician who takes pride

in precision work and thrives in a structured

manufacturing environment, this role offers the

chance to grow your skills while supporting critical

spaceflight programs

Desired Skills

• Experience performing machining tasks using
  
  

mechanical tools, lathes, or Computer Numerical

Control (CNC) machines

• Completion of a technical program at a community
  
  

college or a college degree from an accredited

university

• Familiarity with NASA requirements
