Lead manufacturing engineer owning CNC and sheet-metal toolbuild processes: optimize 5‑axis machining cycles, program laser and press-brake equipment, design fixturing, select tools, manage tool life and coolant, and produce durable process documentation to meet production targets.

Develop, validate, and refine test assets and processes for mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic assemblies. Design and/or source test equipment and tooling, author test specifications and work orders, support shop-floor testing, analyze test data, lead root-cause investigations, and drive cross-functional improvements to ensure scalable, safe production testing.

Define and deploy board- and system-level manufacturing test strategies for high-volume server production. Develop ICT/MDA/board functional tests, fixtures, and test infrastructure; drive yield improvement, failure analysis, and corrective actions; partner with ODMs and cross-functional teams to ensure scalable, reliable production testing and factory readiness.

Lead setup and optimization of fabrication and manufacturing centers with emphasis on automation, MES, and scalable factory design. Drive process improvements, root-cause analyses, technology maturation, and production-ready process development. Provide technical leadership, manage schedules/budgets, and mentor engineers to improve throughput, quality, cost, and cycle time.

Develop and optimize manufacturing processes and tooling for precision RF antenna systems. Translate designs to production, drive DFM, lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement, create work instructions, support RF/thermal testing, and evaluate equipment and make-vs-buy decisions to scale manufacturing.

Lead architecture and scaling of manufacturing systems for transition from prototypes to high-volume production. Own strategy, develop and commission custom precision equipment and integrated production systems, prioritize investments in automation, solve complex manufacturing challenges, and mentor engineering teams across functions.

Support and improve shop-floor manufacturing processes to increase safety, quality, productivity, and cost performance. Lead continuous improvement and root-cause analysis activities, develop standard work and documentation, train employees, track KPIs, and support equipment and workflow improvement projects. Collaborate with production, quality, maintenance, and leadership to remove barriers and sustain operational excellence.

Develop and validate manufacturing processes for product launch: design for assembly, plant layout, line balance, material flow, ergonomic and PFMEA analysis, equipment specification and qualification, production validation to meet labor, output and quality targets, and manage related projects and capital planning.

Lead the clean-sheet manufacturing effort for the Pumped Fluid Loop: establish work center, design build flows and tooling, ensure DFM, build prototypes, qualify assemblies (vibration/thermal/leak), implement automation, resolve nonconformances, and scale production capacity and rate strategies.

Lead design and optimization of production processes, fixtures, NC programs, and work instructions for machined components. Drive new product introductions and continuous improvement using LEAN, automation, and advanced machining techniques. Support troubleshooting, quality documentation, configuration management, and adherence to QMS and safety standards.

Develops and optimizes manufacturing processes, leads new product introductions, performs cost/tooling analysis, manages ECO/MCO documentation, supports quality and process validation, and trains production teams to improve efficiency and product manufacturability.

Own and improve component manufacturing processes: design tooling and work instructions, lead FMEA/Control Plan/PPAP, launch new products, drive lean improvements, mentor production staff, and collaborate with Program/Quality/Operations to maximize safety, quality, productivity, yield, and cost targets.

Lead improvements to metal fabrication processes (CNC, laser, robotic welding), support safety, quality, and productivity, recommend cross-functional solutions, manage multiple priorities, analyze data to drive business strategy, and support capital equipment purchases and production start-ups.

Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes for aerospace components. Ensure manufacturability, tooling, and supplier compliance; apply lean/Six Sigma, create work instructions, troubleshoot production issues, and drive corrective actions to meet quality, cost, and schedule targets.

The Manufacturing & Process Engineer develops process specifications, updates work instructions and flow charts, and provides technical support for manufacturing operations.

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will analyze CNC machining processes, lead tooling design and implementation, support continuous improvement initiatives, troubleshoot production issues, and collaborate with various teams for new product development.

The Manufacturing Engineer will improve processes using Lean methodologies, support production, analyze data, and contribute to quality and cost efficiency.

Lead continuous improvement and Lean initiatives to optimize manufacturing processes, resolve product and tooling issues through root cause analysis, support capital investments, train teams on Lean/Kaizen, audit processes, and participate in supplier qualification, safety, and quality programs.

The Manufacturing Engineer's role involves process improvements, technical support, coordinating changes, and ensuring compliance in a regulated environment through multi-disciplinary projects.

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will oversee the manufacturing development of ECLSS hardware for space stations, optimizing processes, partnering with design engineering, maintaining production documentation, and resolving production issues in a fast-paced environment.

The Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer will evaluate product designs for manufacturing feasibility, manage projects, and collaborate with multiple teams to ensure manufacturing readiness, focusing on HVAC compressor development.
