The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for developing and executing advanced manufacturing processes to support complex and urgent production programs. This role plays a critical part in driving New Product Introduction (NPI), rapid prototyping, and end-to-end program execution. Working cross-functionally with engineering, operations, quality, and supply chain teams, the engineer ensures manufacturability, efficiency, and quality across a wide range of high-complexity assemblies. The ideal candidate thrives under pressure, excels in fast-paced environments, and is committed to continuous improvement in cost, delivery, and performance. Primary Responsibilities

Develop and implement manufacturing processes for complex assemblies and urgent production programs. Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts, including rapid prototyping and operations support. Support cross-functional planning to meet customer deadlines. Drive manufacturability reviews and process optimization for advanced forming, welding, machining, and other manufacturing applications. Program and validate CNC processes to support one-off and short-run production. Design, select, or implement tooling solutions that reduce process variability and accelerate lead times. Develop and maintain PFMEAs, FAI’s, and control plans to ensure robust process control and risk mitigation. Support quoting efforts by defining the manufacturing approach and establishing accurate time standards. Act as the technical liaison between operations and suppliers for special processes and subassemblies. Provide feedback and engineering support during design reviews and supplier sourcing decisions. Support capital justification, selection, and implementation of new equipment or processes as needed to expand capabilities. (Technology Roadmap) Scope of Work

High-complexity fabrications, including multi-part assemblies and components requiring advanced forming, welding, machining, and special processes.
