Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Roadrunner

WHAT YOU'LL DO Own the full manufacturing value chain for a product, from prototype through high volume, including mechanical fabrication and avionics. Drive DFM and DFX upstream into the design, changing the design itself and not just the process. Innovate tool design and selection, and create and optimize high-rate production lines. Own the build-documentation system (MBOMs, work instructions, and requirements) and the quality programs for your area. Lead root-cause on systemic issues and own continuous-improvement metrics across cost, quality, and capacity. Build vendor partnerships and travel for sourcing and on-site issue resolution. Mentor junior ME staff and set the technical standard for the team. Operate with incomplete or still-evolving design inputs: ask the right questions, work from first principles, and create structure where none yet exists. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 8+ years in manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware. Degree in a technical field preferred, or equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience. Deep DFM, tooling, and NPI ownership; you have taken a product or line from development to rate production. Demonstrated delivery in resource-constrained, high-ambiguity environments. A world-class quality and mission mindset, and flexibility for critical pushes. U.S. Citizen. Willing to relocate to Ohio (Arsenal-1) after the 3-month Costa Mesa training.
