About the role
- Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers.
- With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation.
- The ideal candidate will have experience in process and tooling development, equipment integration, root cause analysis, and statistical process control.
Responsibilities
- Design and optimize manufacturing processes for system components, including workflow layouts, assembly methods, and automation integration to enhance efficiency and scalability.
- Utilize CAD/CAM software, simulation tools, and statistical analysis (e.g., Minitab or SPC) to model processes, identify bottlenecks, and drive improvements in cycle times and yield.
- Collaborate with design, quality, and operations teams to apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles, ensuring seamless transition from prototyping to high-volume production.
- Lead root cause analysis for production issues using methodologies like 8D or Fishbone diagrams, implementing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to resolve inefficiencies.
- Manage equipment setup, validation, and maintenance for manufacturing tools, including CNC machines, test fixtures, and automated assembly lines.
- Conduct process capability studies, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and Gauge R&R (Repeatability and Reproducibility) studies to validate measurement systems and ensure data reliability for quality assessments.
- generate reports and support continuous improvement initiatives through lean and Six Sigma tools.
- Integrate supplier processes by evaluating vendor performance and developing protocols for incoming materials and components.
- Track key performance indicators (KPIs) like OEE, throughput, and scrap rates; generate reports and support continuous improvement initiatives through lean and Six Sigma tools.
- Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop will have a real-world impact.
Requirements
- Proven expertise in root cause analysis techniques and statistical tools for process optimization and data-driven improvements.
- Hands-on experience with manufacturing equipment, process simulation, and metrology practices.
- Strong knowledge of lean manufacturing principles, quality management systems, and production planning.
- Basic knowledge of quality standards such as ISO 9001 or AS9100.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently in a fast-paced inspection lab and manufacturing setting.
- Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
