The posting

At Spaceium, we are building spacecraft systems designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in orbit. As a Manufacturing Technician, you will make the parts and assemblies our spacecraft are built from. You'll run CNC machines, weld and fabricate, and support hands-on build and assembly — turning engineering drawings into flight and test hardware in a fast-moving shop.

Responsibilities

  • Set up and operate CNC machining equipment (mills and/or lathes) to produce precision parts
  • Program or edit CNC toolpaths (G-code / CAM) and select tooling, speeds, and feeds
  • Weld and fabricate — TIG/MIG welding, cutting, bending, and sheet-metal/structural fabrication
  • Build wire harnesses and cable assemblies — crimping, connectorization, potting, and labeling
  • Perform precision soldering (through-hole, surface-mount, connectors, and cabling) to space workmanship standards
  • Read and work from engineering drawings, GD&T, wiring diagrams, and specifications
  • Operate manual machine tools (mill, lathe, drill press) and general shop equipment
  • Perform in-process and final inspection using calipers, micrometers, and gauges
  • Support mechanical assembly, integration, and test hardware builds
  • Maintain machines and tools, keep the shop safe, clean, and organized (5S)
  • Work closely with mechanical engineers to improve manufacturability and turnaround

Basic Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent; trade certificate or college diploma in machining, welding, manufacturing, or a related field is an asset
  • Hands-on experience with CNC machining and/or welding and fabrication
  • Experience with soldering and/or wire harness and cable assembly
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and wiring diagrams
  • Proficiency with precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, gauges)
  • Strong attention to detail, safety-focused, and reliable

What We're Looking For

We're building technology that hasn't been done before. Experience is helpful, but drive, craftsmanship, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you take pride in making things well, enjoy hands-on work, and want to help build spacecraft, we encourage you to apply — whether you're early in your career or a seasoned machinist.

Preferred Skills

  • Resourceful problem solver with a scrappy, get-it-done approach under tight timelines.
  • CNC programming experience (Fusion 360, Mastercam, or similar CAM software)
  • Certified or highly proficient in TIG welding, especially aluminum and stainless
  • NASA-STD-8739.3 (or IPC J-STD-001 Space Addendum) soldering certification, or high-reliability space soldering experience
  • Wire harness and cable assembly experience to NASA-STD-8739.4 (crimping, interconnecting cables, harnesses, and wiring) or similar space workmanship standards
  • Experience machining aerospace or precision materials (aluminum, titanium, stainless)
  • Familiarity with fixtures, jigs, and tooling design
  • Experience in a machine shop, fabrication shop, or hardware startup environment
  • Comfortable working across multiple skills and picking up new ones as the shop grows

Additional Requirements

  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical project and mission milestones.
  • This role requires a physical presence at the Ottawa facility.
  • Ability to safely lift and handle materials and stand for extended periods.

Compensation

  • Salary: $55,000 – $70,000 CAD per year
  • Equity: 0.05% – 0.4%

If you're excited about building the hardware behind the future of space systems, we'd love to hear from you.

Please submit any projects that you have worked on.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
