About The Position

Textron Systems Wilmington, MA is seeking a Manufacturing or Electrical/Mechanical Engineer to learn and enhance their advanced manufacturing process capabilities. Necessary skills are Design for Manufacturing and Assembly, product transition to production within the development phase of the product life cycle and support of existing products. This individual will be responsible for providing manufacturing engineering input to support new product development, and to optimize design for manufacturability, design for assembly, design to cost, and transition to production. This individual will work alongside the design engineering team during the preliminary development phases of emerging programs to analyze and improve manufacturing cost, quality, and DFX. Responsibilities will also include other upstream activities such as capital equipment, facility requirements, existing and emerging manufacturing technologies, tool design, cost estimating, and configuration control. This individual will work closely with Design Engineering, Engineering Prototype Technicians, Manufacturing Engineers, Machinists, and Assembly Technicians to complete initial prototype builds, analyze results, and refine engineering designs. In this role, you will be responsible for:
Provide manufacturing engineering input to support new product development, from initial conceptual design to the transition-to-production phase
Perform design for manufacturability, design for assembly, and design to cost analyses during the preliminary development phase of emerging programs and drive changes early in product development to improve manufacturability
Collaborate with Design Engineering, Engineering Prototype Technicians, Machinists, Assembly Technicians, and other Manufacturing Engineers to provide a clear line of communication between design and manufacturing.
Participate in tabletop design reviews and formal CCB reviews.
Collaborate with suppliers for outsourcing activities.
Determine necessary capital equipment, facility requirements, manufacturing technologies, and other manufacturing requirements for emerging programs.
Identify emerging manufacturing technologies and perform cost/benefit analysis for implementation.
