Preferred Skills and Experience: * Experience with advanced welding methods (laser, e-beam, resistance, or friction stir). * Knowledge of aerospace-grade materials such as aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and stainless steel. * Familiarity with DFM/DFA principles, SPC, and Lean manufacturing practices. * Experience transitioning R&D hardware into low-rate or full-rate production environments. * Strong CAD/CAM proficiency (NX, CATIA, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360). * Comfortable working in a startup or rapid-development environment requiring broad ownership and adaptability. ## Description We are seeking a Components Manufacturing Engineer to be the first of its kind at our facility - responsible for establishing, developing, and scaling advanced manufacturing processes for critical hardware. You'll take full ownership of component fabrication from concept through production, driving design-for-manufacture, process development, and continuous improvement across a wide range of precision mechanical systems. This role requires a highly technical, hands-on engineer with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced, first-principles environment. You'll work closely with design, materials, and production teams to bridge the gap between prototype and production, helping define what world-class manufacturing looks like for our next-generation hardware., * Develop and own end-to-end manufacturing processes for complex mechanical and precision components (e.g., machined, welded, or formed metallic parts and subassemblies). * Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) by collaborating directly with design and development engineers from concept through release. * Define and optimize process parameters for laser welding, precision machining, assembly, and inspection of critical components. * Lead first-article builds, troubleshoot process non-conformances, and implement permanent corrective actions. * Own planning, operations, and scheduling for the sheet metal shop, ensuring on-time delivery of high-quality hardware. * Design and procure production tooling, fixtures, and test equipment to improve quality, repeatability, and throughput. * Support technicians and specialists on the production floor by troubleshooting issues, resolving non-conformances, and implementing corrective actions in a timely manner. * Establish and maintain process documentation, including manufacturing plans, work instructions, and control plans. * Collaborate cross-functionally with quality, supply chain, and test teams to ensure consistent component performance and reliability. * Develop data-driven approaches for process control, capability analysis, and yield improvement. * Serve as the technical authority for component manufacturing, mentoring technicians and shaping the facility's future manufacturing capabilities. ## Related Videos - [XR Demystified: Separating Facts from Fiction in 2024](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1117-xr-demystified-separating-facts-from-fiction-in-2024) - [Quantum Tech: Preparing for the Next Leap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1693-quantum-tech-preparing-for-the-next-leap) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Introducing the W3C Web Sustainability Guidelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/991-introducing-the-w3c-web-sustainability-guidelines) - [Google Gemma and Open Source AI Models - Clement Farabet](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1354-google-gemma-and-open-source-ai-models-clement-farabet) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology)
