Manufacturing Support Engineer

Voltify • Jacksonville, FL

7d • Remote

About The Position

Voltify is developing the next generation of battery locomotives that fast charge autonomously and dynamically through a dedicated self-sustained microgrid network. We aim to reduce the rail industry's energy expenses by over 20%, saving over $3 billion annually in North America. We have secured over $50 million in contingent orders from major global rail companies and have raised over $30 million from leading investors. Our founding team has a successful history of building billion-dollar public companies in the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors. This role supports our subsystems, structures, and rebuild teams at the Huntington and Jacksonville locomotive rebuild shops. The position reports to Design Engineering in Cerritos but is a remote role based in Jacksonville, FL. The Manufacturing Engineer will bridge the gap between design engineering and the shop floor, ensuring drawings and specifications are translated into buildable and repeatable rebuild and retrofit processes. Responsibilities include working with CAD software, performing on-site measurements, redlining drawings, and troubleshooting 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)
