Manufacturing Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Oversee research and development efforts to drive innovation in manufacturing processes and technologies.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to develop and implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) strategies that enhance additive product performance and manufacturability.

• Design and optimize manufacturing processes for next-generation products, emphasizing efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. Create resource layouts, work instructions, control plans, and other production documentation.

• Develop novel fixtures and tooling solutions to support R&D initiatives and enable rapid prototyping and testing.

• Oversee programs through first article build and into production. Conduct experimental manufacturing runs, analyzing results and iterating on processes to achieve desired outcomes.

• Contribute to the development MES, ERP, and PLM systems.

• Drive automation initiatives to streamline production workflows, enhance data collection, and improve experimental repeatability.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.

• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering role, preferably within the additive, automotive, aerospace, or advanced materials industries.

• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., Siemens NX, AutoCAD) for process design, fixture design, and factory layout.

• Extensive experience with additive manufacturing or casting and its applications.

• Excellent drawing reading skills, including strong understanding of GD&T per ASME Y14.5M

• Proficiency in architecture of MES, PLM, ERP, and other production systems.

• Proven track record of successfully leading projects from concept through production.

• Familiarity with automotive/aerospace design and tooling design concepts.

Preferred Qualifications:

• In-depth knowledge of advanced manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, robotics, and advanced materials science.

• Familiarity of automation principles and experience implementing automation solutions in a production environment.

• Performance of capacity analysis, line balancing, sequencing, process simulation, time studies, factory sim, and similar activities for the support of high-rate products.

• Familiarity with quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100).
