Job Summary To support our extraordinary teams who build great products and contribute to our growth, we're looking to add a Mechanical Engineer located in Milpitas, California.

Mechanical Engineer will support manufacturing operations through mechanical design, process improvements, equipment optimization, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives while collaborating with cross-functional teams. This role is responsible for developing and implementing engineering solutions to improve product quality, reliability, and manufacturing efficiency. The Mechanical Engineer will also provide technical support, conduct root cause analysis, and drive cost reduction and process enhancement projects.

What a typical day looks like:

Develop and improve manufacturing methods for composite products and assemblies.

Design and modify production tooling, fixtures, jigs, and inspection gauges.

Use CAD software to develop engineering solutions and support manufacturing improvements.

Review engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T to ensure components can be manufactured efficiently and accurately.

Support new product introductions, engineering changes, manufacturing trials, and process validation.

Investigate manufacturing issues involving product defects, dimensional variation, equipment performance, and assembly processes.

Identify opportunities to reduce scrap, rework, cycle times, and manufacturing costs.

Apply root cause analysis and structure problem-solving techniques to resolve recurring production issues.

Work alongside production operators and technicians to implement process improvements.

Support process capability studies, measurement system evaluations, and manufacturing quality improvements.

Evaluate new materials, equipment, tooling, and manufacturing techniques.

Create and maintain engineering documentation, manufacturing instructions, process specifications, and inspection requirements.

Support continuous improvement projects focused on safety, quality, productivity, and efficiency.

Provide technical guidance and training to production personnel when new processes or equipment are introduced.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.

Ideally 2–5 years of experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a similar technical position.

Strong mechanical engineering knowledge and practical manufacturing experience.

Experience working within manufacturing, machining, fabrication, assembly, or production environments.

Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and technical specifications.

Experience using CAD software, ideally Solid Works, AutoCAD, or Siemens NX.Strong troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills.

Understanding of manufacturing process development and continuous improvement.

Familiarity with engineering problem-solving techniques such as 8D, 5 Why, Fishbone, FMEA, and DOE.Knowledge of manufacturing quality systems, including ISO 9001 and IATF 16949.
