Advanced Manufacturing Engineer II

Major Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, validate, and improve manufacturing processes, tooling, fixturing, and equipment for new and existing products.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities including manufacturing process development, prototyping, process validation, and production readiness activities.
• Participate in the NPI Stage Gate process by supporting manufacturing planning, DFM/DFA reviews, PFMEA activities, process validation, tooling development, and production ramp readiness.
• Analyze manufacturing workflows and implement process improvements to improve safety, quality, delivery, throughput, and cost.
• Collaborate with Mechanical Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and Production teams to support Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and overall product quality objectives.
• Create and maintain manufacturing documentation including work instructions, standard work, process flows, routers, PFMEAs, control plans, and inspection methods.
• Support the development and optimization of machining, assembly, inspection, and secondary manufacturing processes for precision mechanical components and assemblies.
• Provide day-to-day technical support to production personnel, technicians, operators, and cross-functional teams.
• Support process capability studies, validation activities, and production ramp-up efforts for new and existing products.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of relevant manufacturing engineering experience supporting production, process development, or New Product Introduction (NPI) activities.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, precision machining, medical device, or other regulated manufacturing process preferred.
• Experience supporting CNC machining, precision assembly, tooling, fixturing, inspection, or advanced manufacturing processes preferred.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing process development, process validation, root cause corrective action (RCCA), and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, PFMEA, DFM/DFA, and process optimization methodologies.
• Experience working within AS9100, ISO9001, ISO13485, or other regulated quality management systems preferred.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T preferred.
• Experience with CAD software (SolidWorks preferred), manufacturing documentation, and ERP/MRP.
