Manufacturing Engineer

Responsibilities

• Work closely with engineers to design and implement scalable manufacturing processes for new hardware and printed parts
• Support part flow through the factory by improving fixturing, test procedures, and post-processing steps
• Develop lightweight documentation and process standards to support scaling production without slowing engineering iteration
• Build and iterate on tooling, jigs, and test setups to support reliable, high-throughput production
• Help identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in how parts, materials, and data move through the factory
• Support early production of high-performance printed parts to bridge the gap between R&D and high-rate manufacturing

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or related engineering field
• Internship or professional experience in manufacturing, development engineering, or build engineering
• Experience working with hand tools, machinery, or complex hardware assembly

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in a hands-on manufacturing or production engineering role
• Experience with manufacturing process development in a fast-paced hardware environment
• Understanding of GD&T and/or how to read drawings
• Experience with metal additive manufacturing or precision post-processing
• Exposure to fixturing, DFM, or process validation
• Familiarity with MRP/ERP tools and production tracking systems
