International Motors, LLC•Elmendorf, TX

About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer-Digital Test will support digital manufacturing validation activities within AME, with primary focus on Digital Test Assembly (DTA) planning, coordination, execution, documentation, and issue follow-up. This role requires a strong manufacturing engineering profile with the ability to work across product, manufacturing, and cross-functional teams to evaluate assembly feasibility, tooling and operator accessibility, sequence validation, and related digital test activities. While the immediate focus is Digital Test Lead support, the role is intentionally defined within a broader Manufacturing Engineer profile to allow future flexibility based on AME and business needs.
