Manufacturing Process Development & Optimization
Primary
Skills:
Manufacturing Engineering, Process Design, Tooling & Methods Improvement, Continuous Improvement
Evaluate existing and proposed manufacturing processes supporting the fabrication, machining, coating, assembly, and testing of complex capital equipment and engineered products to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and manufacturability.
Conduct time studies and process evaluations to establish labor standards, optimize cycle times, and improve process flow, output, and resource utilization.
Provide manufacturability input during product development to ensure design intent can be effectively translated into repeatable and cost-effective production processes.
Provide technical expertise in fabrication, machining, coating, and assembly processes commonly utilized in high-complexity, low-volume manufacturing environments.
Lead value engineering and design-for-manufacturing initiatives to reduce cost, improve manufacturability, and enhance product performance throughout the product lifecycle.
Product Support & Technical Manufacturing Interface
Primary
Skills:
Cross-Functional Collaboration, Technical Communication, Design for Manufacturability, Problem-Solving
Serve as the technical liaison between Design Engineering and manufacturing operations, ensuring products are produced to specification and according to schedule.
Review engineering drawings, specifications, bills of material, and product requirements to identify manufacturing risks, production constraints, and improvement opportunities.
Provide hands‑on technical support on the shop floor to troubleshoot issues, resolve production constraints, and ensure adherence to engineering and process standards.
Train and guide technicians and operators during first‑article builds, pilot runs, and implementation of new or revised manufacturing processes.
Partner with suppliers and internal stakeholders, as needed, to assess materials, fabrication methods, and component manufacturability.
Quality, Reliability & Continuous Improvement
Primary
Skills:
Quality Assurance, Root Cause Analysis, Failure Analysis, Lean Manufacturing
Establish and improve manufacturing standards, inspection methods, and testing approaches to ensure product and process quality.
Analyze manufacturing issues, defects, and failures to identify root causes and implement corrective or preventive actions that improve reliability and performance.
Contribute to product quality and reliability initiatives through process improvements, standardization, and engineering-driven problem solving.
Apply Lean and Six Sigma principles to reduce waste, improve first-pass yield, and drive measurable improvements in safety, quality, and productivity.
