What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Designer (MET) (Designer, 6) position at Redwire?
Where dreams and reality collide and the output is, out of this world. At Redwire Space, we are a team of dreamers and doers. Where the impossible becomes possible, and every day is an opportunity to learn and get one step closer to knowing the unknown. Join us on our mission to expand humanity’s presence in space.
The talented innovators in Georgetown, IN are pioneering new microgravity research technologies, such as Bio-3D Printers capable of printing a meniscus in space, and a plant habitat on the ISS. These technologies will lead to creating organs with your DNA in them to avoid organ transplant rejection and the ability to adjust the science in plants so they thrive and grow in space. With many more exciting projects on the horizon, our team could use your curiosity, passion, talent and experience to help us Build Above.
Summary
