May 2027 New Graduate Engineer, Manufacturing
About The Position
Mach Industries is seeking a New Graduate Manufacturing Engineer to own the industrialization of its products for high-rate production. The role works closely with Product Engineering, Build Engineering, and Manufacturing Operations to design, validate, and launch high-volume manufacturing systems. It focuses on building reliable hardware at speed and developing flexible, adaptable systems that enable rapid production at scale. The engineer bridges design and rate manufacturing, delivering solutions that support manufacturability, cost efficiency, and fast production ramp. The position involves taking production planning from late-stage prototypes through mass-production ramp at Mach’s Forge Factories. It includes developing manufacturing systems and launch plans, optimizing product designs and production processes, coordinating with suppliers and controls engineering, defining manufacturing data structures, and supporting factory validation and production ramp. Applicants must meet U.S. export-control eligibility requirements or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations. The role may require extended hours and weekends as needed.
Requirements
- 1–3+ years of mechanical, manufacturing, build, or integration experience; experience through project teams, research, internships, and professional roles qualifies.
- Bachelor’s degree in industrial and systems, mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Graduating with a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree by December 2026 or January 2027.
- Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
- Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain required U.S. Department of State authorizations for export-controlled information.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in high-volume and/or high-tech manufacturing, including automotive or aerospace technology organizations.
- Experience applying Lean Six Sigma manufacturing principles during planning, ramp, and steady-state production.
- Proficiency in probability- and statistics-based engineering problem-solving, preferably with tools such as Minitab.
- Hands-on experience with shop-floor processes such as machining, welding, composites, additive manufacturing, assembly, or test.
- Understanding of process documentation and quality systems.
- Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and process capability.
- Experience designing components and assemblies using first-principles DFM/A strategies.
- Familiarity with manufacturing-system optimization in high-volume production environments.
- Proficiency in CAD, preferably Siemens NX, CATIA, or SolidWorks.
Responsibilities
- Own production planning from late-stage prototype builds through mass-production ramp at Mach’s Forge Factories.
- Design high-throughput manufacturing systems that achieve high first-pass yield at target cycle times.
- Optimize product designs using first-principles DFM/A, including part-count and complexity reduction, tooling and equipment compatibility, and poka-yoke implementation.
- Develop and execute manufacturing launch schedules.
- Lead Make vs. Buy studies with supply chain to secure rate-capable vendors and ensure on-time part availability.
- Lead Manufacturing Virtual-Build events covering fabrication feasibility and optimization, assembly sequencing, clearance analysis, GD&T, DVA, part presentation and handling, and tolerance stack-up risks.
- Define the manufacturing system through MBoM, BoP, and BoE data structures using EasyPlan, DELMIA, Heliux, or an equivalent tool.
- Collaborate with controls engineering to develop and deploy automation cells and conveyance, and manage vendors through Factory Acceptance Testing and onsite bring-up.
- Own headcount and equipment capacity planning, OPEX/CAPEX estimates, PMTS cycle-time analysis, factory layouts, and NIOSH-compliant ergonomics.
- Support PFEP, including dunnage and material display; release controlled work instructions and quality gates in MES; and provide daily production support during validation and factory ramp.
- Drive quality through SPC, PFMEA, 8D root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement with technicians and cross-functional teams.
