Manufacturing Engineer (Tube Shop)

Join Impulse, a leading aerospace company, as a Manufacturing Engineer (Tube Shop). In this hands-on role, you will support the production of flight-critical tube assemblies for spacecraft propulsion, fluid transfer, and structural subsystems. You will develop, qualify, and improve fabrication processes for rigid and flexible tubing, and serve as the go-to technical resource for technicians on the floor. You will also collaborate with design and integration engineers to ensure tube routing and assembly designs are producible and optimized for scale.

• Develop, qualify, and improve fabrication processes for rigid and flexible tubing, including bending, flaring, swaging, welding, and assembly.
• Author and maintain detailed work instructions, process flows, and define custom tooling or fixtures as needed.
• Collaborate with design and integration engineers to ensure tube routing and assembly designs are producible and optimized for scale.

• Demonstrated hands-on, shop-floor experience and comfort working directly with technicians and tooling
• 1+ year of demonstrated experience in a manufacturing engineering role (aerospace or high-precision industries preferred)
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace Engineering or related field
• 2+ years of demonstrated experience with tube bending, welding, or assembly (orbital welding, Swagelok, or Parker fittings a plus)
• Working knowledge of GD&T, aerospace drawing standards, and industry specifications (such as D17.1, IEST-STD-CC1264, and 91-710)
• Strong understanding of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles
• Welding engineering including welding development or metallurgical background
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and process specifications
