About the role
- In this role, you will work closely with the Product Engineering, Build Engineering, and Manufacturing Operations teams to design, validate, and launch high-volume manufacturing systems using cutting-edge Manufacturing Engineering techniques.
- This role is focused on building at scale- delivering reliable hardware at speed.
- At Mach Industries, we are building decentralized, autonomous systems to maintain an allied American edge in modern warfare.
Responsibilities
- Take extreme ownership of production planning from late-stage prototype builds through Mass-Production ramp at Mach's Forge Factories.
- Design high-throughput manufacturing systems that achieve world-class First-Pass-Yield at target cycle times.
- Drive product design optimization using first-principles DFM/A - focusing on part count and complexity reduction, tooling/equipment compatibility, and poka-yoke implementation.
- Develop and execute fast-paced, robust Manufacturing launch schedules.
- Lead cross-functional Make vs. Buy studies with supply chain to secure rate-capable vendors and on-time part availability.
- Lead Manufacturing Virtual-Build events, covering fabrication feasibility/optimization, assembly sequencing, clearance analysis (hand/tool/material), GD&T, DVA, part presentation and handling, and tolerance stack-up risks (among other topics).
- Collaborate with controls engineering to ideate, deploy automation cells and conveyance
- Own headcount/equipment capacity planning, OPEX/CAPEX estimates, PMTS cycle time analysis (MODAPTS/MOST/MTM), factory layouts (AutoCAD), and NIOSH-compliant ergonomics.
- Support PFEP (dunnage & material display), release controlled work instructions/quality gates in MES, and provide daily production support during validation and factory production ramp.
- Drive quality with SPC, PFMEA, 8D root cause analysis, and continuous improvement alongside technicians and cross-functional teams.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in industrial & systems, mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 3-5+ years in manufacturing, process engineering, or industrialization roles(internship and school projects experience qualifies).
- Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and process capability.
- Hands-on experience with shop floor processes (machining, welding, composites, additive manufacturing, assembly, test).
- Experience designing components and assemblies through first-principles application of DFM/A strategies.
- Experience using first-principles approach to solving complex engineering problems.
- Familiarity with Manufacturing System Optimization strategies in high-volume production environments.
Nice to have
- Experience in high-volume and/or high-tech Manufacturing environments, including but not limited to Automotive and Aerospace Technology organizations
- Experience leveraging Lean Six Sigma manufacturing principles during the planning, ramp, and steady state production phases of the launch cycle.
- Proficient in Engineering Probability and Statistics based problem-solving, preferably using software tools (Minitab, etc.).
- Experience with Discrete Event Simulation Softwares (Simio, Arena, Simul8, etc).
- Demonstrated knowledge of Manufacturing Ergonomic Standards, incl.
- Knowledge of PMTS methods for calculating predicted cycle times.
- Experience authoring DFMEA/PFMEA engineering assessments.
- This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
Compensation
- The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
Benefits
- Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security.
Company info
- At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies.
- We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license.
