About The Position

As a Manufacturing Technology Engineer - Electromechanical, you will be developing tooling, equipment, and layouts to support manufacturing processes and the production system. This role will plan movement simulations and digital twins of the production environment to drive efficient, rapid, on-time production and start-up of the new production capacity internally and with Contract Manufacturers for aircraft production. The right person for this role has successfully developed and executed manufacturing processes for electromechanical assemblies in LV/HV electronics. This role will bring designs to reality and be the bridge between. If you are someone who wants to develop innovative, adaptive, flexible, and creative approaches to manufacturing production systems and develop unified solutions for lots of stakeholders, then this role is for you.

Requirements

10+ years of experience as a designer and developer of tooling, equipment, and processes for PCBA, Electronics, and Electromechanical assemblies
Mechanical Engineering Degree or 10 years of verifiable relevant work experience in the electromechanical/mechanical field
Experience in developing, building fixtures, tools, and gauges to deliver production run rates.
Technology development and implementation experience in tooling and fixturing.
Ability to work hands-on in a manufacturing environment, next to operations and manufacturing engineering, to understand and optimize the manufacturing processes.
Demonstrated ability to create and fabricate mechanisms based on DFM processes to meet PFMEA and DFMEA identified part risks and performance demands.
Ability to travel up to 50% of the time.
