Senior Build Reliability Engineer

Ursa Major Berthoud, CO

Overview The Build Reliability Engineer (Rocket Engines) ensures the integrity, reliability, and manufacturability of Ursa Major rocket engines throughout their lifecycle — from concept through hot-fire testing and production release.

Monitor engine and process performance through production ramp-up using statistical and analytical tools to identify trends and drive proactive improvements. Conduct build quality reviews to verify design intent and highlight opportunities to reduce risk, improve manufacturability, and eliminate recurring issues. Investigate and resolve failures during manufacturing, test, and operation — identifying root causes, leading corrective actions, and improving process robustness. Contain and control nonconforming product, coordinating with inspectors, technicians, and engineers to ensure timely disposition, rework, and re-verification. Advance Lean and autonomous production systems by standardizing rework guides, reducing redundant inspections, and optimizing critical process controls. Mentor junior Quality Engineers, fostering technical rigor, ownership, and sound engineering judgment. Support AS9100 requirements and customer standards, maintaining disciplined documentation and contributing to ongoing system-level improvements. Drive a reliability-first culture — integrating quality and design thinking across engineering, manufacturing, and test. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, or related discipline). Minimum 5 years of experience in manufacturing, reliability, product, or quality engineering within aerospace or high-reliability production environments. Strong background in process control, root cause analysis, and corrective/preventive action methodologies.
