Manufacturing Engineer - Advanced Engines

Responsibilities

• Translating engineering intent and drawings into fully functional electromechanical hardware ready for test, qualification, and deployment by crafting manufacturing bill of materials and work instructions.
• Providing DFMA feedback to design engineering throughout the product development lifecycle, influencing part geometry, tolerances, material selection, and assembly sequences to optimize manufacturability.
• Defining end-to-end manufacturing process flows from raw material through final assembly and test, identifying critical path operations and process interdependencies.
• Evaluating, selecting, and specifying manufacturing equipment — including winding machines, balancing equipment, CNC machinery, test stands, and specialized tooling — to establish production capability for new and evolving product lines.
• Developing manufacturing processes for assemblies involving high-speed rotating components, stator/rotor integration, winding installation, insulation systems, and precision electrical‑mechanical interfaces.
• Applying strong mechanical engineering fundamentals — tolerance stack‑ups, fits, thermal management, structural assembly, and precision alignment — alongside electrical engineering knowledge of motor/machine construction.
• Providing shipside/lineside support on the manufacturing floor for both mechanical and electrical assembly operations.
• Non‑conformance report (NCR) generation, management, and closure addressing both mechanical dimensional conformance and electrical performance requirements.
• Supporting introduction of new products by crafting manufacturing plan artifacts including build plans, duration estimates, production schedules, and tool lists.

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering (other relevant fields may apply) from an accredited university.
• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or process engineering role: (0‑3 years Level 1 Manufacturing Engineer, 3+ years Level 2 Manufacturing Engineer, 5+ years Level 3 Manufacturing Engineer, 8+ years Sr Manufacturing Engineer).
• Strong written, personal, technical, and software skills (CAD, Issue Tracking, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.).
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• AWS Certified Welding Engineer (CWEng) or Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification.
• Experience in aerospace welding to AWS D17.1 or equivalent aerospace weld standards (NASA‑STD‑5006, MSFC‑STD‑504).
• Experience with mechanized orbital GTAW systems (Arc Machines, Liburdi, or equivalent) including parameter development and qualification.
• Background in both aerospace fabrication and ASME BPVC / pressure equipment fabrication environments — ability to bridge both code worlds.
• Experience with dissimilar metal welding (DMW) and transition joints between different alloy systems.
• Experience with electron beam welding (EBW), laser beam welding (LBW), or friction stir welding (FSW).
• Knowledge of weld residual stress analysis, distortion prediction, and mitigation techniques.
• Experience standing up welding operations in a greenfield facility — equipment layout, gas distribution, ventilation, and weld shop infrastructure.
• Lean/Six Sigma certification or equivalent.
• Customer focused with a proven track record to work cooperatively with teams of different skills across large geographic distances.
• Strong organizational and analytical skills.
