Responsibilities include mechanical design, drawings, qualification and acceptance testing, configuration control, manufacturing documentation, troubleshooting production and yield issues, root-cause analysis, customer technical meetings, proposals, and cross-functional project coordination. The role ensures products meet customer requirements, manufacturability standards, cost, schedule, and technical objectives while supporting production implementation and coaching team members.

Design and analyze precision mechanical, electro-mechanical, and opto-mechanical systems for terrestrial and spaceborne applications. Develop CAD models, engineering drawings, tolerance analyses, and preliminary structural and thermal analyses. Support tooling, system integration, testing, and vendor fabrication activities while collaborating with optical, controls, electrical, and systems engineers.

Develop, optimize, and support CNC programs and machining processes for precision glass aerospace components. Responsibilities include programming 3- and 5-axis milling, interpreting drawings and GD&T, selecting tooling and machining parameters, validating toolpaths through simulation, preparing documentation, troubleshooting setups, improving efficiency and quality, maintaining CAD/CAM standards, and collaborating with engineering, production, and quality teams on design and continuous improvement initiatives.

Provides operational engineering support for optical fabrication, metrology, and assembly. Develops, optimizes, and stabilizes manufacturing processes; leads experiments, capability studies, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, continuous improvement, prototype builds, process qualifications, and NPI activities through production release. Collaborates with manufacturing, quality, program management, production, and engineering teams while investigating equipment and fabrication technologies that improve capability, yield, throughput, cycle time, and cost.

Leads quality assurance, auditing, corrective action, inspections, testing, and continuous improvement for aerospace, defense, laser, and fiber-optic manufacturing. Manages customer quality issues, returns, audits, regulatory compliance, first article inspections, and quality standards. Collaborates with operations, customers, suppliers, and product development teams while supervising and training quality personnel. Requires expertise in quality management systems, statistical process control, root-cause analysis, and manufacturing quality methods.

Leads the design and development of precision mechanical and opto-mechanical subsystems for aerospace and defense applications. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, structural, thermal, dynamic, shock, and optical analyses, requirements tracking, engineering documentation, tooling and work-instruction development, manufacturing integration, configuration control, proposal support, and technical leadership of mechanical design teams.

Leads the design, analysis, integration, and testing of precision opto-mechanical systems including telescopes, mounts, and optical support assemblies. Oversees CAD modeling, FEA, thermal and structural analysis, requirements compliance, tolerance budgeting, vendor fabrication, configuration management, risk reduction, and assembly tooling. Coordinates with optical, controls, electrical, and systems engineers, supports proposals and program planning, presents design reviews, and mentors junior engineers.

The Supply Chain Manager leads procurement, subcontract management, supplier logistics, shipping and receiving, material planning, supplier quality, and supply continuity. Responsibilities include managing procurement staff, negotiating with suppliers, driving performance and cost reduction, overseeing KPIs and budgets, and implementing LEAN processes. The role supports NPI and proposal activities, partners with engineering and manufacturing, and ensures compliance with FAR/DFARS, ITAR/EAR, and government contracting requirements.

Leads complex optical systems programs for aerospace, defense, and commercial customers. Responsibilities include managing cross-functional engineering and operations teams, project plans, schedules, budgets, risks, customer relationships, scope changes, vendors, proposals, quality issues, and stakeholder communications. The role also supports marketing, product roadmaps, and program management process development.
