## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Manufacturing Engineer (2nd shift) to join our Roadrunner Manufacturing team. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for owning the entire manufacturing value-chain for Roadrunner, from current rate to high-volume deployment. This includes driving Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback into design, innovating tool design and selection, creating and optimising high-rate production lines, fostering strategic vendor partnerships, embedding robust quality assurance throughout, and meticulously documenting build processes.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own a portion or all of the manufacturing value chain for a certain product or set of products

- Develop novel tooling solutions for fabrication and assembly of structural parts

- Develop process flows, breaking down large, complex assemblies into a logical part flow of subassemblies and sub-processes

- Write documentation required for successfully manufacturing their hardware at scale, such as work instructions, quality plans, inspection requirements, etc.

- Work with contract manufacturers across various disciplines (PCBA fab, metallic manufacturing, assembly, etc.) to develop repeatable, sustained processes for quick-turn development as well as at-scale production

- Work with technicians and other engineers hands-on, building prototype hardware

- Contribute to end-customer hardware mechanical or electrical design, including interconnects, board fabrication and inspection, etc.

Requirements:

- Degree in a technical field preferred such as engineering, math, or a hard science

- 5+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware

- Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment

- Demonstrated in-kind or direct team leadership skills, with backing examples

- Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware via any means (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.)

- A genuine interest in manufacturing and thirst for learning

- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

- This position requires a commitment to second shift operations, necessitating full availability during afternoon and evening hours

- Candidates must demonstrate flexibility and dedication, being prepared to work extended hours and weekends when dictated by critical business priorities

- This role involves frequent and often routine business travel to various locations within Texas, as required to meet operational demands

Preferred Qualifications:

- Hands-on experience with R/C and/or autonomous flight vehicles, flight controllers, or other related control systems

- Software scripting experience in any language
