Manufacturing Engineer Sr - E3

About the Role

As the Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will design and develop mechanical products and systems, provide technical expertise to ensure seamless production processes, and drive adoption of new technologies to achieve greater efficiency, cost reduction, and quality improvement.

Responsibilities

• Develop tooling and equipment designs from engineering hardware specifications, culminating in complete technical data packages that fully define the tooling/equipment and allow fabrication of detailed components and assembly of the end item.
• Perform design and documentation efforts in accordance with company standards using Pro-Engineer/SolidWorks.
• Provide engineering support to the production floor for issues that surface in day-to-day integration processes by analyzing and solving problems in a team environment, aligned with production rate requirements.
• Research, plan, design, and develop mechanical products and systems such as instruments, controls, robots, engines, machines, and mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, or heat transfer systems for production, transmission, measurement, and use of energy.
• Apply research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems, instruments, controls, engines, and/or machines.
• Develop and implement manufacturing processes, procedures, and production layouts for assemblies, equipment installation, processing, fabrication, and material handling.
• Drive adoption of new technologies and processes (automation, robotics, computer-aided manufacturing software) to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality.
• Create and analyze 3D-based model data environments to optimize manufacturing processes and digital work instructions.
• Leverage understanding of materials and automated processes to define operations procedures and build sequences for operational excellence.
• Evaluate performance (including IoT devices) of equipment and tools to verify efficiency, investigate deficiencies, and initiate corrective actions.
• Use factory data to develop statistical process control approaches and integrate reporting/data analytics solutions for continuous improvement.
• Provide input to product design regarding design concepts and specification requirements to best utilize equipment and manufacturing techniques.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent years of experience.
• Ability to work in an ordnance facility.
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings.
• Basic knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Knowledgeable of machine/tool mechanical design and general manufacturing/integration processes.
• Must be a U.S. citizen—this position is located at a facility that requires special access.

Desired Skills

• Proficient with MS Office suite.
• Proficiency or experience with AutoCAD, CREO, or SolidWorks.
• Knowledgeable of hydraulic and pneumatic systems/equipment used in a manufacturing environment.
• Knowledgeable of engineering materials.
• Experience promoting safety practices on the shop floor and eliminating safety risks.
• Experienced with troubleshooting practices and techniques using failure mode effects and analysis (FMEA), root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions (RC/CA).
• Experience implementing continuous improvement projects using 6S and Lean manufacturing techniques.
• Customer service skills to communicate with the shop floor and train operators.
• Experience developing and maintaining Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Work Instructions, and Bill of Materials (BoM).
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications, including Geometric and Dimensional Tolerances (GD&T).
• Experience incorporating configuration changes on existing procedures and verifying alignment with engineering requirements.
• Experience designing new tools and maintaining existing tooling/equipment.
• Project management experience in writing business cases, developing estimates, reporting schedules, and coordinating tasks between multiple functions.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage.
• Flexible work arrangements and schedules (e.g., 4x10).
• 401(k) match.
• Paid time off, holidays, and parental leave.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• Flexible Spending Accounts.
• Education Assistance.
• Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability.
• Annual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs (performance-based and not guaranteed).

Pay

Full-Time Salary Range: $76,700 – $142,500. Salary is determined based on factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, and market considerations.

Schedule

• For non-represented full-time employees (Washington state applicants only): Accrue at least 10 hours per month of Paid Time Off (PTO) for incidental absences; receive at least 90 hours for holidays.
• For represented full-time employees: Accrue 6.67 hours of Vacation per month; accrue up to 52 hours of sick leave annually; receive at least 96 hours for holidays.
• PTO, Vacation, sick leave, and holiday hours are prorated based on start date during the calendar year.
