The Manufacturing Engineer Co-op supports the development, documentation, and execution of manufacturing processes for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) in a defense contracting environment. This role focuses on hands‑on support of production, integration, and testing activities while gaining experience with complex electromechanical systems, defense-quality requirements, and regulated manufacturing processes.

Working under the guidance of senior manufacturing and design engineers, this position helps translate engineering designs into practical, repeatable manufacturing solutions that meet performance, quality, and mission requirements.

• Support the development and maintenance of manufacturing processes for UUV systems, subassemblies, and components.
• Create and update work instructions, assembly travelers, manufacturing routings, and bills of materials (BOMs).
• Assist with new product introduction (NPI) activities, including prototype builds and early production units.
• Work closely with production technicians to support assembly, integration, and test activities.
• Troubleshoot basic manufacturing and assembly issues and elevate complex problems to senior engineers as needed.
• Support system‑level integration, functional testing, and environmental testing of UUV assemblies.
• Assist in root cause analysis and corrective action activities for manufacturing or test discrepancies.
• Support tooling, fixture, and test equipment development under senior engineer direction.
• Ensure manufacturing documentation and processes comply with quality, safety, and configuration control requirements.
• Participate in design reviews and provide manufacturability feedback as experience grows.
