About this role

Harness Manufacturing Engineer – LEO Satellite Applications Midland, Texas, United States AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices based on our extensive IP and patent portfolio and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today's five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected. Position Summary The Harness Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and supporting the production of electrical harnesses and cable assemblies for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite platforms. This role ensures harnesses are designed, manufactured, and tested to meet aerospace standards and mission requirements, while improving quality, repeatability, and production efficiency. Key Responsibilities - Manufacturing Engineering Support: - Develop and maintain harness assembly processes, work instructions, and manufacturing documentation (routers, travelers, and assembly drawings). - Support design-to-production handoffs by reviewing harness design schematics and layouts for manufacturability and reliability. - Define and select tooling, equipment, and materials required for harness production. - Drive improvements in harness routing, termination, and installation practices. - Production Oversight: - Provide on-the-floor support to manufacturing technicians during harness assembly, integration, and troubleshooting. - Establish and optimize assembly sequences and jigs to ensure repeatable, high-quality harness fabrication. - Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective/preventive actions for nonconformances. - Testing and Quality Assurance: - Develop and implement testing protocols using automated harness testers (e.g., CIRRIS or
