About the role

Hands-on manufacturing engineer responsible for turning development hardware into repeatable, scalable production for a high-rate interceptor program. Partners with technicians, design, quality, and test engineers to establish new manufacturing capabilities, resolve build issues, and scale production.

Responsibilities

  • Own manufacturing processes and scaling for interceptor manufacturing
  • Take assemblies and operations from early development builds and mature them to support a high-rate production program. Establish assembly sequences, process flows, station requirements, tooling needs, and manufacturing controls. Coordinate across teams to resolve gaps that prevent hardware from being built safely, consistently, and efficiently.
  • Develop and maintain production documentation
  • Create clear work instructions, build travelers, and inspection requirements. Validate instructions through hands-on builds and technician feedback. Keep documentation aligned with released drawings, bills of material, engineering changes, and the configuration of the hardware being built.
  • DFMA
  • Work with design engineering to identify and resolve assembly access, tooling, tolerance, inspection, testability, and producibility challenges. Bring actionable recommendations to design reviews and use lessons from actual builds to simplify assembly, reduce manufacturing risk, and improve repeatability.
  • PFMEA
  • Develop process failure mode and effects analyses with design, quality, test, and manufacturing teams. Translate identified risks into practical prevention measures, inspection points, process controls, and work-instruction requirements.
  • Support builds and mature production process
  • Work alongside technicians to resolve manufacturing issues, train operators, and incorporate shop-floor feedback. Assist quality and design engineering on nonconformances, root-cause investigations, and approved corrective actions. These actions are required to support repeatable, high-volume production numbers.

Qualifications

  • A bachelor’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, electrical, industrial, aerospace, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience creating work instructions and process flows, interpreting engineering drawings and bills of material, and working within configuration-controlled documentation.
  • Practical experience with DFMA, PFMEA, manufacturing cost estimation, and structured root-cause analysis, with the ability to turn analysis into implemented changes.
  • Experience developing or deploying tooling, fixtures, manufacturing equipment, or production test systems, including troubleshooting problems during initial use.
  • Strong ownership and communication skills: you can work through incomplete information, identify dependencies, make sound recommendations, and drive issues to closure across multiple teams.
  • Familiarity with regulated quality environments, serialized hardware traceability, nonconformance and change-control processes, and manufacturing execution or enterprise resource planning systems is also valuable. Experience with SolidWorks, automated test equipment, or equipment supplier acceptance activities.
