Readiness Delivered. At Kratos, we encourage an entrepreneurial spirit balanced with discipline. We work hard, and take care of our customers, employees, and families. Recognized as thought leaders in our industry, we are motivated by creating and delivering innovative solutions to our nation and global customers. Kratos Space builds hardware that communicates with satellites in orbit. The Production Process Engineer helps define how that hardware gets built on the floor, bridging the gap between what designers specify and what production can execute repeatedly and reliably.
rn
This role sits between Engineering and the production floor. Youll develop and maintain the processes, work instructions, tooling, and build documentation that turn complex hardware designs into consistent production builds. This is hands-on work with real hardware, not theoretical process improvement. Youll work within the Production Engineering team and partner closely with Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T), Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Program Management. Day to day, that means supporting production, solving issues, and keeping work moving. Longer term, it means improving the process so the same problems dont keep coming back.
rn
Success in this role means better process stability, clearer documentation, fewer repeat defects, shorter cycle times, and smoother transitions from design into production.
