The Manufacturing Industrialization Engineer is responsible for developing the tooling, equipment, and production processes required to transition products from low‑rate to full‑rate manufacturing. This role focuses on industrialization — making processes robust, repeatable, efficient, and scalable. The ideal candidate combines strong engineering fundamentals with hands‑on manufacturing experience and the ability to design, validate, and implement production‑ready solutions.

• Lead the transition of products from prototype/low‑rate to full‑rate manufacturing.
• Develop robust, repeatable processes that support throughput, quality, and safety.
• Identify and eliminate sources of variation, inefficiency, and instability in production.
• Ensure tooling, equipment, and workflows are capable of meeting full‑rate demand.
• Evaluate, redesign, and develop tooling (molds, fixtures, jigs, handling tools) for full‑rate production.
• Specify, build, or procure production equipment and automation solutions.
• Work with machine shops and vendors to fabricate, modify, or repair tooling and equipment.
• Validate tooling performance on the shop floor and implement improvements.

• Analyze and design production layouts, material flow, and workspace arrangements.
• Develop processes that minimize handling, reduce cycle time, and improve ergonomics.
• Integrate tooling and equipment into efficient, scalable workflows.
• Support operator training and documentation for new or revised processes.
• Identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, reduce waste, and enhance reliability.
• Support focused improvement efforts with cross‑functional teams.
• Troubleshoot production issues and implement corrective actions.

• Provide industrialization feedback to Product Engineering for future product launches.
• Work closely with production, quality, and maintenance teams to ensure smooth implementation of tooling and process changes.
• Coordinate with suppliers to source or develop tooling, equipment, and automation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related engineering field; equivalent experience considered.
• Experience with tooling design (composite tooling experience a plus).
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, material flow, and production scaling.
• Hands‑on experience validating tooling and implementing process changes.
• Proficiency with CAD software.

Bachelors or better in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

Compensation for this role will be determined based on relevant experience, education and skills. Base compensation for this role begins at $80k.
