Orbitworks is building satellites at a pace and scale that demand world-class manufacturing leadership. As our Director of Manufacturing, you will be the force that turns cutting-edge engineering into reliable, repeatable, and scalable production. This role sits at the heart of Orbitworks’ mission: taking complex, high-performance satellite designs and converting them into hardware that can be assembled, tested, and delivered with speed and precision.
You will own the full design-to-manufacturing pipeline—driving DFX into early engineering conversations, ensuring MGSE and EGSE systems are robust and ready, and building the processes and teams that keep production flowing without surprises. This is a role for a practical, hands-on leader who thrives in ambiguity, solves real problems on real hardware, and knows how to ship.
If you have led manufacturing and test teams through high-pressure builds, closed the gap between engineering intent and production reality, and delivered complex hardware on schedule, this is where your experience becomes a strategic advantage. Join us and help shape a manufacturing organization capable of producing high-autonomy satellite systems at scale.
