About PLD
PLD Space is an international space services company with in-house engineering and manufacturing. It is dedicated to transporting satellites and humans into space, vertically integrating engineering, testing, manufacturing and operations of its reusable and sustainable rockets. Headquartered in Elche (Spain) and founded in 2011 by Raúl Torres and Raúl Verdú, PLD Space has established itself as a global benchmark in the space launcher sector. Its MIURA family of launchers and its LINCE manned capsule position the company as a leader in European technological sovereignty in space transportation, covering the full range of space missions.
With a team of more than 450 employees and 350 million in total funding, PLD Space also has the largest private test benches in Europe, located in Teruel (Spain), and operates one launch base in the Guiana Space Centre (CSG), in Kourou (French Guiana). In total, it has more than 188,000 m2 of own industrial infrastructures.
Teamwork, courage, determination and ambition enable PLD Space to guarantee an autonomous, independent satellite space access capability, based on reliability at a globally competitive price. The company is able to offer best‑in‑class launch services to commercial satellite operators, institutions, space agencies and national and international governmental entities.
Mission
As a Structures Integration Engineer your main mission within the area will be to define the integration processes associated to the structure of the rocket, as well as to provide an adequate follow up at the workshop to guarantee the proper execution of these processes.
Responsibilities
* Development, implementation, and optimization of assembly procedures for rocket sections: assembly manuals, work orders, post‑assembly inspections and reports... Continuous improvement of assembly processes (based on lessons learned) to bring products from prototype to high‑volume production.
* Assembly of aerospace structures. Perform assembly processes (drilling operations, reaming, countersinking, mechanical joints by means of fasteners, bolts and screws, sealing) of aerospace primary structure (mainly metallic and composite parts) and secondary structure.
* Technical support and problem‑solving during assembly procedures.
* Work with our design engineers and supply chain in developing our designs to improve quality and assembly, and simplify operations.
* Work with tooling area to develop hardware to help integration process.
* Resolve non‑conformances and work with the Quality team to implement root cause corrective actions.
