    Need THREE Rockstar Machinists for Rocket Engine Components

    That's a good distinction, right now our customers are launching payloads to orbit (trying to go up and not come back down), and researching hypersonic flight. Our larger engine offerings are targeted more exclusively at customers offering space launch services to low earth orbit and beyond.

    Need THREE Rockstar Machinists for Rocket Engine Components

    Of the engine family currently shipping to customers, we have three primary variants and uses. Our sea-level variant is designed for first-stage boost applications, the type of thing that lifts a rocket off the launchpad and into the upper atmosphere: The major variants operate at different...

    Need THREE Rockstar Machinists for Rocket Engine Components

    Reaching out again as our shop has grown (also thanks to the Practical Machinist community). I'm a manufacturing engineer with Ursa Major who manufactures 3D printed rocket engines: I work closely with the folks in the shop and it is a unique place. There are some clips of it in the videos...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    I can certify we'd crash a real machine faster and more efficiently than any machinist or layperson you could find.

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    I think we've got vetting a good candidate handled reasonably well among our group. A handful of us are hobby cnc machinists with a better-than-nothing understanding of the basic software, equipment and instruments involved. It's definitely the greatest perceived risk at this point. I think...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    Having trouble keeping up with all the feedback, appreciative of every word. My background is in additive design, and is the real trick to get it close to "AM print" (think of it as the casting). You've got anisotropic scaling to apply, surface finish changing everywhere, and properties...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    Thanks for the advice and for interpreting this listing written by a non-machinist. Our need is foremost to solve lead-time challenges with a few key components that end up pacing development efforts. While expensive (but actually pretty reasonable considering the type of aerospace hardware)...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    Great question. We inevitably need to work very closely with our vendors to make parts manufacturable, and have had success with this model. Most of our engineers and designers are from larger, newer entrants in the space launch market, where they worked with and physically next to machinists...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    Great question. Currently we're horizontally structured, we've got a very large network of AM & machine shops across the front range and beyond to procure these parts. This structure has supported dozens of engines and 700+ tests so far. To get to the next level, we need to begin to go vertical...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    We are not, but much closer than most. We have a real product going out the door and have revenue, are growing at a high rate. Fun fact, no private rocket company (not even the one you're thinking of) is cashflow positive right now. Thanks and regards, - Austin

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    Thanks for the feedback. I should clarify: $75,000 is starting for this position. This represents the least capable, least experienced candidate we would even possibly consider taking a risk on if they absorbed knowledge & lessons like a sponge and had a killer attitude. We intend to pay...

    Need a Rockstar Machinist for Rocket Engine Components

    I'm a manufacturing engineer with Ursa Major Technologies. I wanted to reach out with an opportunity for an extremely cool job on the front range in Colorado. We make rocket engines: Home | Ursa Major Tech We start with DMLS 3D printed nickel alloy and titanium components, and finish, inspect...
