Manufacturing Engineer I, Machining
About The Position
The Machine Shop team produces high-precision, high-quality machined components critical to the Terran R program. The Manufacturing Engineer I will work with engineering and design teams to improve part designs and manufacturing solutions, supporting the machine shop and the production of flight hardware. The role creates process plans, standard operating procedures, inspection plans, work-holding designs, and other documentation that defines how parts are manufactured. It also improves manufacturing processes by developing and deploying new technologies and methodologies, advising upstream partners on design for manufacturability, and communicating manufacturing, fixturing, inspection, GD&T, and datum-structure considerations to inform design decisions. The engineer recommends design changes to improve manufacturability and investigates processes that produce non-conforming hardware, identifying root causes and corrective actions.
