• Specify, procure, and implement tooling, fixtures, and equipment to support efficient production and integration activities.
• Analyze and optimize manufacturing workflows to improve throughput, reduce waste, and enhance quality and repeatability.
• Provide technical support to production teams to resolve manufacturing issues and ensure continuity of operations.
• Participate in production readiness reviews.
• Support configuration management and change control processes related to production and assembly documentation.
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for non-conformances or process deviations.
• Participate in risk assessments, process capability studies, and continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
• Ensure compliance with defense industry standards, company policies, and applicable regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 9001).
• Coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors on manufacturing readiness, quality, and technical issues as required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering (or related discipline).
• 3–7 years of experience in a manufacturing engineering role, preferably within the defense or high-reliability engineering sectors.
• Strong understanding of mechanical and electromechanical assembly processes, tooling design, and production support.
• Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or Creo) and manufacturing documentation tools.
• Knowledge of Lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and continuous improvement tools.
• Familiarity with military standards and configuration management processes is considered an advantage.
