We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer with a strong focus on Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement to support the production of advanced Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) systems for defense applications. This role is responsible for improving manufacturing efficiency, quality, cost, and delivery while ensuring compliance with defense, safety, and quality standards. The ideal candidate is hands-on, data-driven, and comfortable working in a regulated, low-to-medium volume, high-mix manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities
Lean Manufacturing & Continuous Improvement
* Lead and facilitate Lean initiatives including Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Kaizen events, 5S, Standard Work, Visual Management, and waste reduction (DOWNTIME).
* Drive continuous improvement projects focused on cycle time reduction, labor efficiency, yield improvement, and cost reduction.
* Establish and maintain standardized work instructions and best practices across manufacturing operations.
* Implement and track KPIs and metrics (OEE, FPY, takt time, throughput, scrap, rework) to measure performance and improvement.
* Coach and mentor operators, technicians, and engineers on Lean principles and problem-solving methodologies.
Manufacturing Process Development & Support
* Develop, document, and optimize manufacturing and assembly processes for mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical UUV subsystems.
* Create and maintain process flows, PFMEAs, control plans, routings, and work instructions.
* Support new product introduction (NPI) from prototype through full-rate production, ensuring manufacturability and scalability.
* Identify and implement tooling, fixturing, and automation solutions to improve consistency and productivity.
Quality, Compliance & Defense Environment
* Ensure manufacturing processes comply with AS9100 / ISO 9001, internal quality standards, and applicable defense requirements.
* Support root cause analysis and corrective actions using 8D, A3, DMAIC, and 5-Why methodologies.
* Collaborate with Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering to resolve nonconformances and improve process robustness.
* Maintain documentation and traceability required for defense and government contracts.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Partner with Design Engineering to provide DFM/DFA feedback early in the product development lifecycle.
* Work closely with Supply Chain to improve supplier quality, lead times, and cost through Lean practices.
* Support production planning and operations teams to improve flow and meet program schedules.
