Role and Responsibilities

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer is a senior individual contributor responsible for the manufacturing readiness and technical performance of assigned prototype test rigs products modules or manufacturing domains. The role connects product development with hands-on factory execution by planning and supporting prototype builds integration testing commissioning troubleshooting and continuous improvement. Working across design systems test quality manufacturing planning and project teams the engineer converts prototype learning into safer more repeatable scalable and cost-effective manufacturing solutions. The role leads through technical expertise and influence and does not have formal people-management authority.

• Plan and support prototype test-rig build integration test commissioning troubleshooting modification and decommissioning activities.

• Assess execution readiness for procedures tooling test methods technical information resources and approvals.

• Establish safe executable assembly integration and test sequences for new or evolving hardware and systems.

• Coordinate tooling equipment material documentation facility safety hardware software and engineering dependencies.

• Capture test-rig learning and apply it to product designs procedures sequences tooling test methods manufacturability and future factory readiness.

• Own assigned manufacturing processes or technical domains and provide readiness leadership across dependent factory activities.

• Develop and improve manufacturing methods procedures tooling equipment test methods and process controls.

• Evaluate and qualify manufacturing changes including engineering changes and approved departures from standard requirements.

• Analyze yield quality cycle time capacity reliability safety and cost performance to identify improvements.

• Lead complex problem definition root-cause analysis corrective action and recurrence prevention.

• Serve as the Manufacturing Engineering focal point for an assigned cross-functional product or module leadership team referred to internally as an MDU.

• Convert stakeholder objectives constraints and decisions into clear Manufacturing Engineering actions and ownership.

• Prepare decision-ready technical recommendations supported by evidence factory impact implementation risks and required decisions.

• Communicate risks decisions commitments and changes to affected teams and confirm follow-through.

• Translate ambiguous objectives into executable plans with clear scope deliverables owners milestones dependencies and success criteria.

• Coordinate interdependent technical work across engineering contributors and assigned manufacturing domains.

• Identify technical resource schedule and readiness risks and coordinate mitigation with responsible owners.

• Escalate unresolved decisions with the impact options considered and a recommended path forward.

• Coach engineers in technical problem solving execution planning stakeholder preparation and follow-through.

• Prepare engineers to represent their assigned technical domains with product module and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Review technical plans risk assessments presentations and recommendations before key decisions.

• Build distributed ownership of critical knowledge responsibilities and stakeholder relationships.

• Convert prototype and factory lessons into sustainable improvements to products processes tooling test methods and training.

• Standardize effective manufacturing methods planning practices procedures and technical documentation.

• Improve handoffs among the engineering function supporting prototype test-rig build integration test commissioning troubleshooting and learning capture; the engineering function supporting repeatable integration and test execution across systems modules and factory operations; and related manufacturing teams.

• Share technical knowledge across engineers technicians and cross-functional stakeholders.

This senior individual-contributor role leads assigned technical work and stakeholder interfaces through expertise planning coaching and influence. The role is accountable for ensuring work is clearly scoped appropriately owned integrated and communicated.
