Engineering Development Program (EDP) – Industrial Engineering – Micron Operations

AST SpaceMobile's Engineering Development Program (EDP) is a structured career program for recent graduates pursuing industrial engineering careers through hands-on spacecraft production. This Industrial Engineering track supports micron production for the company's satellite phased arrays in Midland, Texas.

The program runs in three phases. In Phase 1, participants work as Industrial Engineering Technicians, performing hands-on assembly and integration of flight components and supporting mechanical integration of microns into phased arrays, with cleanroom protocols, quality inspections and close collaboration with senior technicians. In Phase 2, as Associate Industrial Engineers, they lead teams, coordinate production activities, train junior technicians and carry out process-improvement projects. In Phase 3, graduates move into either a Manufacturing Engineer role (procedure development, troubleshooting and process optimization) or a Supervisor role (overseeing assembly operations, people and operational metrics).

Requirements: a bachelor's degree in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, manufacturing or industrial engineering, or physics; recent graduate with strong academic performance and hands-on project experience. Aerospace manufacturing exposure and cleanroom familiarity are preferred. The work is on site in Midland.
