We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.

Join Teledyne FLIR Defense, where we're dedicated to safeguarding lives with cutting-edge sensing and threat detection technologies. Our arsenal includes advanced surveillance sensors, handheld devices, unmanned vehicles, lasers, and more solutions that increase operational effectiveness for warfighters, first responders, and search-and-rescue teams. We're looking for passionate innovators eager to shape the future of the Defense industry. If you're mission-driven to globally collaborate on life-saving solutions, we invite you to explore our current opportunities.

The Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer will act as a 'liaison' between R&D and manufacturing, working closely with engineers to review and release new mechanical designs, and to modify existing ones. Part of the review process is analyzing the design for manufacturability. They will work with Quality to address manufacturing issues and coordinate with vendors, making changes and improvements as necessary and documenting through the QMS process.

This Engineer will be responsible for maintaining a database of files for released projects. The role will also work closely with the Quality department for QMS and process documentation, while also looking for root cause analysis and process improvements.

• Utilize Solid Works and ePDM software to review new designs, implement changes, and to create designs (i.e. test fixtures, tool holders, etc.).
• Review designs for manufacturability. Be a leader and voice on the design teams to inform new designs and improve current designs to increase manufacturability of products to reduce defects and assembly time.
• Maintain communication with suppliers, including transferring new design files, requesting quotations, and answering technical questions.
• Collaborate with R&D, procurement, and manufacturing to transition products between development, LRIP, and FRP stages.
• Actively seek improvement to current processes, leveraging use of manufacturing data to find opportunities.
• Become expert on current product manufacturing techniques and processes.
• Work closely with production and service technicians to keep open communication about issues, changes, and suggestions for improvements.
• Perform root cause analysis/problem solving:
  Apply sound engineering principles to manufacturing issues in a cross functional environment. This will include working with other disciplines such as electrical, software, quality, and service departments.
• Write and/or edit manufacturing procedures.
• Submit engineering change requests when necessary to address mechanical issues.
• Address ECNs in a timely manner by analyzing and implementing necessary changes.
• Utilize SAP MRP system to enter new BOMs, search inventory, and research part information.
• Collaborate with quality department to address vendor process issues.
• Local travel to support testing and travel to vendor facilities for evaluation and discussions.

• Minimum of an Associate's degree required, Bachelor's degree preferred, in an engineering field.
• 2 - 4+ years of experience in an engineering role.
• Proficiency in MS office and Solid Works (or other 3D modeling software) required, experience with ePDM a plus.
• Experience in assembling mechanical/electrical devices, with emphasis on the integration.
• Strong experience with quality management system including engineering…
