Demonstrated mechanical aptitude and an interest in understanding and improving how electro-mechanical products are designed and assembled.
Experience developing assembly process flows from solid models, bills of material, engineering drawings, and other design information.
Experience creating and maintaining detailed product assembly instructions or manufacturing process documentation.
Experience designing and documenting mechanical parts, assemblies, tools, or fixtures using SolidWorks.
Working knowledge of mechanical tools and fixtures used in the assembly of mechanical or electro-mechanical products.
Experience applying structured problem-solving techniques to investigate manufacturing or product assembly issues.
Ability to exercise judgment within established procedures and modify processes or methods as required.
Ability to build productive internal and external working relationships and collaborate on technical issues.
Effective written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
Ability to work full-time, on-site at our Agoura Hills, California facility.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to identify manufacturing, assembly, and design risks early in the product development cycle.
Work with the NPI team to develop and execute manufacturing plans that support the timely transfer of new products to volume manufacturing.
Build and evaluate electro-mechanical assemblies to develop assembly process flows, identify manufacturing risks, and recommend process or design improvements.
Develop and maintain detailed assembly instructions and process documentation for pilot production teams and contract manufacturing partners.
Review solid models, engineering drawings, bills of material, and other design information to establish assembly methods and process requirements.
Identify the need for assembly tools and fixtures, then design, document, and qualify solutions using established engineering practices.
Investigate product assembly and manufacturing issues by gathering data, completing structured root-cause analysis, and collaborating with cross-functional teams on corrective actions.
Collaborate with suppliers and internal stakeholders to design and validate packaging solutions.
Provide technical support during pilot builds and manufacturing transfer activities.
Train pilot production and contract manufacturing personnel on assembly processes and manufacturing requirements.
Prepare engineering reports, analyses, and recommendations for review by the project team.
Contribute to additional NPI and manufacturing engineering projects based on program and business needs.
