#Assembly Process Engineer  #Rigging/Heavy Lifting #Contract #MAjobs

This role focuses on developing and managing detailed assembly plans and work instructions for the SPARC tokamak device and its sub-system components. The Assembly Process Engineer will collaborate closely with system design teams, field engineers, and assembly personnel to define efficient, safe, and cost-effective assembly strategies. This position plays a critical role in guiding how large, complex assemblies come together within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering environment.

• Develop detailed assembly plans and work instructions for the handling, manipulation, guidance, and integration of complex SPARC sub-system assemblies.
• Collaborate with system design teams and assist lead field engineers in finalizing optimal assembly strategies, including sequencing, tooling, safety measures, specifications, and methods.
• Define and document assembly steps that ensure proper tool and personnel access throughout each phase of the assembly process.
• Plan and manage part movement at each assembly stage, ensuring no interference with adjacent systems during handling or placement.
• Create comprehensive assembly work instruction packets for all SPARC sub-assemblies and integrate them into work orders to establish optimal assembly and testing sequences.
• Develop a working knowledge of CFS ERP and MES systems, ensuring part traceability is maintained throughout the assembly process.
• Address non-conformances and assembly challenges using strong problem-solving and communication skills.
• Support continuous improvement of work instruction packet and work order development processes to enhance standardization, efficiency, safety, clarity, and communication.
• Collaborate closely with assembly engineers, tooling engineers, designers, coordinators, and on-site assembly personnel during Tokamak Assembly activities.

• High School Diploma required.
• Minimum of 5 years of technical experience integrating large, complex mechanical structures (aerospace, chemical, industrial, or similar environments).
• Proven experience developing assembly work instructions or work instruction packets.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a proactive, safety-focused mindset.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly express, evaluate, and refine technical ideas.
• Ability to use data to support decision-making.
• Preference for elegant, simple, and efficient solutions over unnecessary complexity.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Alignment with organizational values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique.
• Rigging experience.

• Bachelor"s or Associate degree in a related field.
• Experience with metrology, high-vacuum projects, manufacturing management software, or NX.
• Experience with large component lifting operations involving components greater than 10 tons.

• Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
• Comfortable working in environments with industrial hazards, including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics.
• Ability to perform tasks such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time.
