Requirements

US CITIZENSHIP REQUIRED and the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or another relevant Engineering degree.
Proven ability to coordinate among multiple shifting priorities and flourish in a dynamic environment.
Strong communication skills to bridge the gap between design engineers (ME/EE) and manufacturing vendors, ensuring design intent matches production capabilities.
Fluent in SolidWorks & 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) for the design, documentation, and lifecycle management of parts, large assemblies, drawings, and metadata.
Experience optimizing designs for common manufacturing processes (sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, welding, injection molding) and creating clear, visual Work Instructions (WIs) and SOPs.
Ability to design and implement assembly jigs, fixtures, and Go/No-Go inspection gauges to ensure repeatable, high-yield production.
Practiced in LEAN manufacturing and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) principles with a history of ownership and execution of process improvement projects.
Experienced with quality management systems (ISO9001), including document control, ECN/ECO processes, PPAP, NPI gates, and conducting PFMEAs to mitigate production risks.
Proficient in GD&T (ASME Y14.5 standards), drawing reviews, and performing tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure parts fit consistently during assembly.
Experience utilizing ERP/MRP systems to manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), establish manufacturing routings, and support.
Ability to travel as required, up to 10%.

Responsibilities

Scale manufacturing processes from R&D prototype builds to higher volume and fieldable manufacturing.
Interface with mechanical and electrical design engineers during product development for DfM & DfA considerations, to ensure a smoother transition to manufacturing.
Create, evaluate, and improve manufacturing processes applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly, tooling, and materials.
Develop and document manufacturing procedures, work instructions, setup sheets, safety processes, routers, inspection points, and QC documentation.
Develop and implement manufacturing processes including process definition, PFMEA, equipment definition and selection, layout planning, integration coordination, startup, qualification, and training.
Work with technicians to ensure manufacturing processes are being followed and implemented correctly and safely.
Identify and implement process improvements for yield, quality, throughput, or other KPI as appropriate.
Utilize analytical skills to perform root cause investigation analysis and provide recommendations for corrective and preventative actions.
Employ QA skills to complete acceptance testing, identify & prevent production defects, and develop QA processes for efficient manufacturing.
Create functional requirements specifications for equipment and processes.
Source, qualify, and select vendors for equipment and contracted services.
Collaborate with vendors to design, procure, and fabricate equipment, tooling, fixtures, and supplies as needed.
Coordinate with contract manufacturing partners to ramp up production of new systems & sub-assemblies.
