  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field, or equivalent work experience
  • 5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience
  • Experience with magnet feeding and insertion, rotor balancing systems, or motor/stator manufacturing preferred; drive unit, e-axle, or electric machine manufacturing engineering experience a plus
  • Demonstrated ability to scope, design, and commission a manufacturing line from scratch — this is a from-zero build, not a scale-up of an existing line
  • Proficient in 2D/3D CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar)
  • Experience transitioning systems from prototype to production
  • Deep experience in manufacturing engineering for early-stage or greenfield production environments
  • Knowledgeable in low-volume and early-ramp manufacturing practices (prototyping, GD&T, equipment and supplier selection, DFM, process capability, CAD/PLM systems)
  • Proficient in complex electro-mechanical system design, motors in particular
  • Experience creating technical specifications for manufacturing equipment and process documentation
  • Comfortable working with significant ownership and limited existing infrastructure — this is a startup, ground-floor build
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across product design, quality, supply chain, and external vendors
  • Critical problem-solving and structured, documentation-driven approach to organizing ambiguous, early-stage work
