Head Of Manufacturing
TRL11, Inc. is a venture-backed deep-tech startup developing advanced video and camera technology for space and aerospace applications. We are building space-grade imaging systems in an environment where quality, precision, and reliability matter at every step. Our team values people who take ownership, move with urgency, and keep improving the systems around them as they deliver.
This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who wants to shape how advanced aerospace hardware gets built. As Head of Manufacturing, you will lead the manufacturing function for our camera, avionics, and payload products, balancing immediate production needs with continuous improvement across the operation. You will work closely with cross-functional partners to build a disciplined, scalable manufacturing environment while staying close enough to the work to support hands-on production when needed.
Responsibilities
- Own the manufacturing process, manufacturing engineering, clean room operations, work scheduling, and quality assurance.
- Ensure space grade hardware is produced in a workmanlike manner.
- Support implementation and certification to AS9100 standards.
- Ensure personnel are properly trained.
- Ensure equipment is ready for operation to support seamless production operations.
- Directly contribute to production from time to time due to the small size of the team.
