Have you ever dreamt of building rockets right here in Australia? Well now’s your chance Gilmour Space is seeking a talented individual to join our innovative team to send rockets to Space Conveniently located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, our new state-of-the-art facility, purpose-built for designing and manufacturing rockets in-house, is equipped with the latest technology and tools, providing an ideal environment for innovation and excellence. So, what are you waiting for? Join us and be a part of a forward-thinking team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of space exploration and let’s send Australia to Space together

How you will contribute to our mission in getting Australia to space:

The below is designed to give you an idea of the role you will play. There will be many more exciting and innovative things to do:

- Undertake the programming and preparation of additive manufacturing jobs, including part orientation, support structure design, build layout optimisation, machine setup, and process parameters selection.
- Support the manufacture and post-processing of additively manufactured hardware for launch vehicle, propulsion, and satellite applications.




- Prepare engineering documentation required for the transition of products from development to production, including work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), inspection requirements, risk assessments and bills of materials (BOMs).
- Work closely with design engineers to improve the manufacturability and printability of components through Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles.
- Assist in the development, validation, and optimisation of additive manufacturing processes to improve quality, repeatability, throughput, and cost.
- Support machine setup, process qualification, and production readiness activities for additive manufacturing equipment.
- Develop and maintain manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and support equipment required for additive manufacturing and post-processing operations.
- Participate in design reviews, providing manufacturing input relating to additive manufacturing constraints, capabilities, and process considerations.
- Conduct structured root cause analysis of manufacturing defects, process deviations, and non-conformances, implementing corrective actions where required.
- Assist with material, process,



and equipment trials to evaluate new manufacturing capabilities and production methods.
- Support maintenance and calibration activities for additive manufacturing equipment.
- Process map manufacturing activities, capture current ways of working, and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Support the implementation of new manufacturing technologies, equipment, and production processes.
- Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory requirements across all manufacturing activities.
- Other duties as requested by Management.

Mandatory Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

- Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing, Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Understanding of metal and polymer additive manufacturing technologies.
- Knowledge of engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T;), and manufacturing documentation.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications.
- Exposure to CAD software such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Onshape, Inventor, or similar packages.
- Exposure to AM related software as Magics, EOSPrint, or similar packages
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Self-motivated with strong organisational, multitasking, and documentation skills.
- NV1 Security Clearance eligible preferred.
