Description
We're seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join our team. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for executing key tasks within the manufacturing value-chain for Sentry Tower Systems. This includes hands-on involvement in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) work, assisting with process creation and optimization, developing detailed work instructions, performing root cause analysis for production issues, and supporting quality planning for the hardware under your purview.
The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver with a strong desire to learn and contribute to complex electromechanical hardware challenges. You should be someone who thrives in a fast-paced, resource-limited environment and enjoys getting hands-on to implement and refine physical solutions. If you are eager to apply your engineering skills to real-world production challenges and grow within a dynamic team, then this role is for you.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the transition of new electromechanical products from NPI to production, contributing to Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) efforts, and assisting in establishing robust manufacturing processes to meet production demands.
- Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives for existing production lines and manufacturing processes, providing engineering support to resolve issues, enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product quality.
- Assisting in the design, implementation, and optimization of efficient manufacturing processes, supporting efforts to maximize throughput, reduce costs, and ensure consistent high-quality output for products.
- Participating in projects for the installation, commissioning, and validation of new manufacturing systems and equipment, assisting with communication on their impact to production capabilities, efficiency, and capacity to stakeholders.
- Assisting in identifying and implementing automation solutions and integrated workflows to streamline manufacturing processes, enhancing efficiency and repeatability.
- Developing and refining detailed manufacturing process flows, assisting in breaking down assemblies into logical subassemblies and sub-processes to optimize production flow and ensure consistent product quality on the line.
- Creating and maintaining manufacturing documentation, including detailed work instructions, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and quality control plans, to ensure standardized and repeatable production.
- Partnering with contract manufacturers across diverse disciplines (e.g., PCBA fabrication, metallic manufacturing, final assembly) to support the establishment of repeatable production processes and ensure on-time delivery.
- Traveling to key suppliers and contract manufacturers to support resolution of production issues, assist in auditing processes, and implement quality control procedures to maintain production continuity and quality.
- Providing Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) feedback to engineering teams, helping to optimize product design for production efficiency, cost, quality, and reliability.
- Supporting technical ownership for assigned product lines, collaborating with Design Engineering, Quality Assurance, Production Operations, Software, and Program Management to ensure seamless product realization and issue resolution.
- Maintaining Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) data, assisting with Bill of Material (BOM) management, configuration control, and change management within systems like Teamcenter, ensuring accuracy and alignment with production requirements.
If you have a degree in a technical field such as engineering, math, or a hard science, and 2+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware, we encourage you to apply.
