• Test Engineering: Develop and implement test plans processes and systems for validating mechanical electromechanical and propulsion subsystems during development production and final acceptance.
• Manufacturing Process Development: Design document and validate scalable manufacturing and assembly processes. Introduce automation and tooling to optimize production efficiency and ensure consistency.
• High-Rate Production Support: Work closely with production teams to scale manufacturing processes troubleshoot issues and optimize for high-yield high-throughput production.
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Collaborate with design engineers to optimize mechanical and electromechanical designs for manufacturability assembly and cost.
• End-to-End Quality Control: Partner with quality engineering to define inspection and acceptance criteria. Lead root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for production or field failures.
• First Article Builds: Lead first article manufacturing and testing ensuring parts meet specifications and performance requirements.
• Data-Driven Process Improvement: Use statistical methods data analysis and lessons learned to optimize processes and improve product quality and assembly line throughput.
• Tooling & Fixtures: Develop and implement tooling jigs and fixtures to support efficient and repeatable manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering supply chain and production teams to drive seamless collaboration across the product lifecycle.

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related technical field.
• 3 years of experience in NPI manufacturing engineering test engineering or production support for mechanical or electromechanical systems.
• Experience developing and implementing test systems for functional performance and environmental testing across development and production phases.
• Deep experience in manufacturing processes including CNC machining injection molding casting sheet metal fabrication and electromechanical assembly.
• Demonstrated expertise in DFM/DFA principles and transitioning products from prototype to high-rate production.
• Proven track record of supporting first article builds pilot production and production ramp-up.
• Strong knowledge of quality systems including root cause analysis failure analysis and corrective actions.
• Experience with tooling and fixture design for assembly and testing.
• Strong proficiency with CAD and PLM tools (e.g. SolidWorks Creo or similar).
• Strong analytical skills including experience with statistical process control (SPC) process validation and data analysis.

• Experience with propulsion systems electric motors gearboxes or high-performance actuators in aerospace automotive or defense industries.
• Familiarity with environmental testing (vibration thermal shock) for mission-critical systems.
• Proficiency in automated manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Experience with defense or aerospace industry standards (e.g. AS9100 MIL-STD).
• Six Sigma certification and experience implementing lean manufacturing principles.
• Passion for delivering high-quality mission-critical products at scale.
• Proactive and detail-oriented problem solver with a hands-on approach.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to operate seamlessly across cross-functional teams.
• Thrives in a fast-paced dynamic environment focused on innovation and impact.
