Nice To Haves

• Advanced degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience leading builds or daily production-line execution for complex, low-volume hardware while meeting schedule, quality, and safety commitments.
• Experience building, integrating, testing, or troubleshooting UHV systems, precision mechanical assemblies, cryogenic systems, or comparable complex scientific hardware.
• Demonstrated success establishing production structure through process flows, work instructions, build travelers, inspection plans, test procedures, operator training, and readiness reviews.
• Experience improving manufacturing quality, yield, cycle time, throughput, and rework using root-cause analysis, corrective action, Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methods.
• Experience with DFM/DFA, tooling and fixture design, configuration control, engineering changes, quality systems, and CAD or PLM/PDM tools such as Onshape and Arena.
• Strong technical ownership, organization, communication, and cross-functional leadership, with the ability to remain closely engaged on the production floor and build trust with technicians.

Responsibilities

• Lead a production line building complex UHV hardware, with direct accountability for safe, high-quality execution of the build schedule.

• Translate production priorities into clear daily and weekly work plans, coordinating labor, materials, tooling, documentation, and technical support to keep builds on schedule.
• Own and continuously improve production-line structure, including process flows, assembly sequences, work instructions, build travelers, inspection and test methods, training, and readiness criteria.
• Partner with Quality to drive process improvements using build data, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, defect and rework trends, cycle time, and yield.
• Partner with engineers, physicists, Quality, and Supply Chain to resolve issues, implement engineering changes, and improve manufacturability, reliability, throughput, and cost.
• Develop tooling, fixtures, test equipment, and workstation improvements that increase safety, repeatability, ergonomics, and production capacity.
