Manufacturing Support Engineer

Voltify•Jacksonville, FL

9d•$120,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Voltify is building the next generation of rail - battery locomotives that fast charge autonomously and dynamically through a dedicated self-sustained microgrid network. We are bringing back the power to the industry and eliminating the dependency on fossil fuels, lowering the rail industry's main expense - energy - by more than 20%. We are already working with some of the largest global rail companies with over $50M in contingent orders. We have raised over $30M from top tier funds and strategics and are rapidly growing. Our founding team has a proven track record in building billion $ public companies in renewable energy and infrastructure. We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to support our subsystems, structures, and rebuild teams at the Huntington and Jacksonville locomotive rebuild shops. This role reports to Design Engineering in Cerritos while working remotely in our Jacksonville, FL location. You will act as the critical link between design engineering and the shop floor, helping to translate drawings and specs into buildable, repeatable rebuild and retrofit work. You'll spend time both at a CAD station and on the shop floor measuring, redlining, and troubleshooting real hardware.

Requirements

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
Proficiency in SolidWorks modeling and documentation
Hands-on experience with sheet metal fabrication for rail, marine, or heavy-duty off-highway equipment
Ability to read and redline mechanical and electrical schematics
Experience troubleshooting pneumatic and coolant plumbing systems
Comfortable working independently and traveling regularly between the Jacksonville and Huntington rebuild shops
Willing to be onsite in shop environments for measurement, documentation, and hands-on troubleshooting

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with locomotive schematics and rail systems
Experience with vehicle networking and communication protocols (CAN bus, J1939, CANopen, Modbus, Ethernet)
Authoring SOPs, work instructions, and routing sheets
Experience specifying tooling and fixtures for heavy vehicle manufacturing
Root-cause analysis / CAPA experience in a production environment

Responsibilities

Serve as the engineering liaison between Cerritos-based design teams and the subsystems, structures, and rebuild teams at the Huntington and Jacksonville rebuild shops, translating designs into shop-floor execution
Create and maintain SolidWorks models, drawings, and documentation for sheet metal structures, brackets, and subassemblies used in locomotive rebuild and retrofit work
Apply sheet metal fabrication techniques common to rail, marine, and heavy-duty off-highway equipment to guide fabrication, fit-up, and repair of structural components
Read, interpret, and redline mechanical and electrical schematics, flagging design conflicts or field deviations back to design engineering
Troubleshoot and retrofit pneumatic and coolant plumbing systems on rail, marine, or off-road platforms, diagnosing leaks, pressure issues, and component failures
Support integration, configuration, and troubleshooting of vehicle networking, communication, and control systems using laptops and diagnostic tools
Perform onsite measurement and documentation of core vehicle components to support reverse-engineering, fit checks, and design validation
Author and maintain manufacturing work instructions, routing sheets, and SOPs to guide technicians through mechanical and electrical rebuild tasks
Collaborate with Design Engineering on DFM/DFA reviews, ensuring rebuild and retrofit parts are optimized for manufacturability and cost
Specify and coordinate sourcing of tooling, fixtures, and equipment needed to support rebuild-shop manufacturing and sub-assembly work
Lead root-cause investigations into production bottlenecks, component failures, or quality issues, and drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA)
