Job Summary
Job Tittle: Material Requirment Specialist( Onsite)
Location: LexingtonMA
The Fabrication Engineering Group realizes prototype systems that demonstrate advanced technology. The group provides innovative fabrication assembly integration and test of advanced hardware prototypes for national security applications. The group is involved from the initial design through the final build including important operational elements such as production control and material management. The group concentrates on high-complexity parts quick-turn capabilities and activities that require concurrent engineering with program teams. Specific examples of fabrication activities include the precision machining of fiber mounts for airborne high energy laser systems multi-functional structures using additive processes for ground-based radar systems custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) for space-borne data processing and highly integrated mechanical packaging for undersea communication terminals. Core mechanical competencies span precision fabrication additive manufacturing and 5-axis machining. Core PCB assembly capabilities include design for manufacturability (DFM) advanced solder paste jet dispensing flexible surface mount technology (SMT) pick-n-place systems and automated optical inspection (AOI) machines. Assembly integration and test (AI&T) capabilities include integration spaces clean rooms vibration testing thermal testing and space simulation chambers. The Group focuses on state-of-practice prototyping capabilities exceptional collaboration operational proficiency and technical excellence.
The Fabrication Engineering Group seeks a talented creative and motivated individual to strengthen
the Groups ability to provide rapid and innovative solutions to challenging problems. The successful candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary program team providing fabrication expertise coordinating design for manufacturability reviews facilitating fabrication activities and developing and executing program fabrication plans working in close collaboration with program teams internal shop operations and Group members. A unique aspect of MIT LL is that we develop prototype systems rather than high volume production.
The role of the Program Material Planner will focus on leading the supply chain strategy for a program operating as a key liaison between program engineering fabrication and suppliers to ensure timely cost-effective material availability from concept through prototype fabrication of mechanical assemblies. The role is responsible to manage risk drive resolution for shortages and execute detailed plans for procurement and fabrication. The ideal candidate will effectively partner with the program engineering team to continuously improve fabrication schedule alignment to program needs as well as optimize utilization of resources and ensure a smooth transition from planning to fabrication of prototypes.
Responsibilities include but not limited to:
Develop and manage the plans for internally and externally fabricated components to support prototype development for a multitude of part commodity types and programs
Coordinate with the multi-faceted cross-functional team and program contacts to align fabrication execution plan to program and technical needs
Translate technical data provided into process instructions to execute fabrication and assembly of prototype hardware
Utilize planning tools to provide capacity analysis cost and schedule estimates to group and programs
Identify opportunities for process improvements and manage projects related to fabrication procurement and project planning
Develop strong working relationships with vendor base contacts that support external sourcing of key components for prototype development and fabrication
Requirements:
Bachelors degree in a Technical/STEM discipline
2 years of professional experience
Ability to collaborate with cross functional team members to drive projects forward and to push forward action plans.
Preferred:
Six Sigma experience or other manufacturing type methodologies.
Previous experience working with a team of engineers to solve problems execute fabrications plan for manufacturing layout etc.
Project coordination type experience in the sense of helping move an idea to execution (start to finish).
US Citizenship is required due to nature of the work.
