Skills & Keywords
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Serve as a primary technical driver for NPI initiatives, transitioning precision mechanical actuators and electromechanical systems from prototype to scalable production, architecting solutions for manufacturability, performance, and supply chain robustness.
- Act as the principal manufacturing interface with Design Engineering, providing critical and influential feedback for Design For Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA) specifically for actuator components and integrated systems.
- Architect, design, and oversee implementation of novel tooling, jigs, and fixturing for precision actuator assembly, alignment, and testing, setting best practices.
- Establish and continuously optimize robust, repeatable process flows for complex actuator assemblies, encompassing intricate operations like bearing installation, gear train assembly, sensor integration, and sealing, setting benchmarks for manufacturing excellence.
- Strategically define, implement, and optimize Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) and Routings within MES and ERP systems, specifically for actuator sub-assemblies and final product builds.
- Drive the development and standardization of comprehensive manufacturing documentation, including detailed work instructions, quality control plans, inspection requirements, and environmental test procedures for high-reliability actuators.
- Design, validate, and strategically implement robust test methodologies and equipment for critical actuator performance characteristics (e.g., torque, speed, precision) and environmental qualification (e.g., vibration, thermal, ingress protection).
- Provide deep hands-on technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and technicians during prototype builds, troubleshooting, and production validation of actuator hardware, fostering technical excellence.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 12+ years of progressive manufacturing or design engineering experience, specifically with precision mechanical components, electromechanical hardware, or motion control systems.
- Proven track record of driving significant technical initiatives, providing expert guidance, and mentoring engineers.
- Demonstrated expertise in delivering complex electromechanical hardware (actuators, robotics) in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments.
- Deep expertise in establishing and optimizing manufacturing environments, including MBOM creation, MES integration, and Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) for actuator production.
- Proficient with Siemens NX for CAD and Teamcenter for PLM software.
- Hands-on experience physically manufacturing hardware (e.g., precision machining, additive manufacturing, electromechanical assembly, fabrication). Personal projects in robotics or control systems a plus.
- Strong interest in manufacturing high-performance defense hardware and a commitment to continuous technical mastery.
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
- Hands-on experience with control systems, servo motors, or high-performance electromechanical components in aerospace, marine, or robotics.
- Experience with harsh environment manufacturing considerations (e.g., sealing, corrosion prevention, vibration isolation, lubrication).
- Familiarity with aerospace (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-810) or marine environmental testing and qualification standards.
- Software scripting (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for automation, data analysis, or testbed control.
- Experience with advanced manufacturing processes like precision grinding, gear cutting, or specialized surface treatments for critical components.
