About The Position

West Coast Magnetics is a fast-growing, close-knit manufacturer specializing in custom electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies for the medical, aerospace, semiconductor, communications, and test & measurement industries. When standard components don't solve a problem, our engineers design the solution from the ground up. We're looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to support production for our semiconductor processing equipment customers. In this role, you'll bridge the gap between design and the production floor - making sure every job released to production is backed by accurate, current work instructions and bills of materials, and that our documentation stays perfectly aligned with customer requirements.

• Ability to work effectively with people across different levels and departments of the organization

Nice To Haves

• Experience with electronic components and assemblies is a plus
• Experience interfacing between an engineering department and customers is a plus
• Experience in a production or manufacturing role within aerospace, medical device, semiconductor processing equipment, or contract manufacturing is preferred

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical and electro-mechanical sub-systems in SolidWorks, including custom tooling and fixturing to support assembly and disassembly of parts and sub-assemblies
• Perform tolerance and thermal engineering analyses to validate that designs meet customer functional and performance requirements
• Apply CAD software, thermodynamics, sheet metal design, material selection, manufacturing methods, and GD&T to solve complex mechanical problems
• Identify design tradeoffs and technical risks, and independently troubleshoot and resolve issues with minimal supervision
• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, quality, and manufacturing engineers to align on technical interfaces and drive design reviews
• Create and maintain comprehensive design documentation - CAD models, drawings, specifications - with accurate revision control
• Draft and maintain accurate, current work instructions, bills of materials, and inspection checklists for the production floor
• Complete first article inspection (FAIR) reports and packaging specifications in line with customer requirements
• Interface with WCM engineering staff, shop floor employees, and inside sales to keep documentation and production aligned with the latest customer revisions
• Design fixturing using WCM's 3D printers or generate specifications for outside subcontractors
• Consult with Materials Control and Purchasing to source materials for parts and projects
• Create presentations for management and engineering staff, and perform final inspection sign-off with manager or senior inspector approval
