Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related technical field
  • 3-6 years' experience solving complex part manufacturing challenges with focus on scalable processes
  • Expert-level SolidWorks skills including advanced modeling, drawings, and GD&T application
  • Experience with advanced materials and high-volume forming processes such as thermosets, thermoplastics, elastomers
  • Hands-on fabrication skills: machining, welding, assembly, and creative problem-solving
  • Track record of solving challenging manufacturing problems while maintaining production viability
  • Essential Skills: Part-focused thinking: ability to reverse-engineer manufacturing solutions from part requirements with volume production in mind

Responsibilities

  • Engineer solutions for producing parts with complex geometries, tight tolerances, and demanding specifications
  • Solve process design challenges for parts with undercuts, variable wall thickness, multi-material construction, and precision features
  • Develop approaches for parts that others consider unmanufacturable, with focus on volume production capability
  • Work with advanced polymer and composite materials to create high-performance components for large-scale manufacturing
  • Build whatever equipment is needed to make complex parts work - forming presses, custom tooling, specialized fixtures, and high-throughput processing equipment
  • Create SolidWorks models and detailed drawings with proper GD&T for tooling and equipment designed for high volume processes
  • Machine, weld, and assemble custom solutions when off-the-shelf equipment won't suffice for production requirements
  • Prototype rapidly until parts meet specifications consistently and processes are ready for scale-up
  • Take on part challenges that require innovative manufacturing approaches capable of high-volume production
  • Design and build forming processes for complex brackets, housings, structural components, and precision assemblies with polymer and composite materials
  • Solve inserts, handling, and quality control challenges for difficult geometries in production environments
  • Develop repeatable, high-volume processes for complex parts that can efficiently scale to large production runs
  • Build and test whatever tools, fixtures, and equipment are needed to make parts work at production volumes
  • Troubleshoot part quality issues and implement design solutions for volume manufacturing
  • Work directly with prototype parts to understand manufacturing constraints and scale-up opportunities for polymer and composite components
