Why LeoLabs? At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions. We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations. If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here. As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will help bridge the gap between engineering and production, ensuring our hardware is designed for efficient, repeatable manufacturing. You will work closely with design engineers, supply chain, and contract manufacturers to develop production processes, improve manufacturability, and guide new products from prototype builds into production. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys solving practical problems and building manufacturing systems that scale.   You will support manufacturing across printed circuit board assemblies, electromechanical systems, and complex radar hardware while helping establish the processes, documentation, and workflows that enable reliable production. This is a full-time, onsite position based in Menlo Park, California.   You will be responsible for:   Lead Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews throughout the hardware development lifecycle   Develop manufacturing processes, work instructions, and assembly documentation for complex radar hardware   Serve as the primary technical interface between Hardware Engineering and contract manufacturers   Support prototype builds and guide products through New Product Introduction (NPI) into production   Partner with engineering to improve manufacturability, serviceability, and production readiness of PCBAs and electromechanical assemblies   Develop production tooling, fixtures, inspection methods, and manufacturing workflows   Support root cause investigations and implement process improvements that improve quality, yield, and throughput   Collaborate with Supply Chain to ensure manufacturing documentation, BOMs, and production releases are complete and accurate   Drive continuous improvement across manufacturing processes, documentation, and factory readiness   Qualifications   Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline   7+ years of experience supporting the manufacture of complex electronic or electromechanical products   Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles for PCBAs and mechanical assemblies   Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) from prototype through production   Working knowledge of PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, panelization, IPC workmanship standards, and electronics manufacturing processes   Experience creating manufacturing documentation, assembly instructions, and production workflows   Familiarity with Arena or another PLM system, NetSuite or another ERP system, and SolidWorks   Excellent communication skills with experience working across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and external suppliers   Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S
