Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Drive the manufacturing, fabrication, and testing oversight of first-of-a-kind (FOAK) heavy components.
• Perform on-site vendor fabrication surveillance, ensuring suppliers adhere to design specifications and strict quality requirements.
• Collaborate with design teams to apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles, translating supplier feedback back into the engineering models and drawings.
• Troubleshoot fabrication, welding, machining, and assembly issues in real-time, providing immediate engineering solutions to complex production problems.
• Guide component designs to accommodate non-destructive examination (NDE) accessibility constraints, especially in spatial limitations.
• Mentor and guide junior engineering team members, driving accountability and technical success across multiple concurrent projects.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience delivering complex hardware or manufacturing processes in a production environment (aerospace, defense, heavy machinery, or power generation).
• Background in startup support, vendor management, and on-site surveillance for heavy industrial components.
• Strong familiarity with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) standards (such as Section III or VIII) and AWS welding standards.
• Deep knowledge of weld engineering, weld specifications, and Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) techniques.
• High proficiency in engineering hand calculations to assess structural, thermal, or fabrication issues on-site.
• Ability and willingness to travel both domestically and internationally (typically 25%-50%) to partner facilities and fabrication shops.
