Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Supply Chain (Electrical/Electromechanical)
About The Position
As an early member of Antares’ supply chain team, the Senior Manufacturing Engineer will define and execute the strategic roadmap needed to progress from prototyping to full-rate production. The role includes identifying, qualifying, and developing suppliers across multiple commodities; maturing fragile or nonexistent supply chains; partnering with engineering teams on design for manufacturability; and creating processes and systems that support business growth. As part of a small team in a growing company, the engineer will work in an ambiguous environment, balance competing priorities, and may contribute to areas beyond supply chain.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, math, physics, or a related field and 4+ years of experience in design or manufacturing engineering, supplier development or supplier quality, or supply chain management; alternatively, 5+ years of experience in one or more of those fields without a specified degree requirement.
- Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support critical milestones.
- Ability to travel up to 40% when necessary to interface with suppliers.
- Must meet U.S. government export-control eligibility requirements: be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain required U.S. Department of State authorizations.
