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

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
