About the role
The VP, Manufacturing & Production owns the factory system that produces satellites at rate.
Manufacturing is not a downstream recipient of engineering work at E-Space. The VP, Manufacturing & Production embeds DFM engineers in hardware product teams from PDR onward, participates actively at every program gate, leads production execution through the 100-unit Joint Phase pilot build, and assumes full production ownership at the Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR). From MRR onward, no other VP can direct the production line without escalating through this role.
The role spans three distinct operating modes: influencing design during the Engineering Phase, demonstrating production readiness during the Joint Phase, and executing at rate during Production. Each requires a different leadership posture.
