About Mach Industries

Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms . At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees , we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

The Role

Mach Industries is seeking an Integration Reliability Engineer to develop the methods that enable complex products to be assembled, integrated, tested, and fielded reliably throughout the product lifecycle. You will support integration strategy, build readiness, interface risk management, failure investigation, and reliability growth across product development and production. This role spans Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Test Engineering, Operations, Program Management, and field support. The work is hands‑on and connected to integration builds, production environments, test activities, and hardware failure investigations in Huntington Beach.

Key Responsibilities

• Define integration build strategies that establish readiness for assembly, test, and production.
• Conduct interface FMEAs, risk assessments, and design-for-assembly reviews for complex product assemblies.
• Develop and improve assembly control plans, initial assembly controls, and methods for integrating sub-assemblies into complete systems.
• Support component integration, built‑to‑print assembly, validation activities, and the transition from development into repeatable production.
• Monitor yield, build health, and process robustness to identify risks affecting throughput and product realization.
• Lead systemic root‑cause and corrective-action investigations for assembly, integration, test, and production issues.
• Support investigation for integration, final‑test and field failures, supporting containment activities, and feed lessons learned into design and manufacturing methods.
• Collect and analyze build, test, and field data to improve repeatability, reliability, and engineering decision‑making.
• Up to 30% travel

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, quality, or equivalent professional experience.
• Two or more years of experience in systems integration, manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, reliability engineering, or a related hardware environment.
• Experience with FMEA, root‑cause analysis, corrective action, or comparable risk and failure-investigation methods.
• Experience analyzing build, test, or production data to identify process risks and improvement opportunities.
• Ability to collaborate with design, manufacturing, test, operations, and program teams to resolve technical problems.
• Ability to work hands‑on with complex hardware in integration, production, test, and failure-investigation environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience integrating aerospace, defense, propulsion, robotics, or other complex electromechanical hardware.
• Experience with interface failure characterization, process capture, control plans, RCCA, or reliability‑growth methods.
• Knowledge of GD&T, design‑for‑assembly, engineering drawings, specifications, or configuration‑control practices.
• Experience supporting built‑to‑print assembly, final test, field containment, or nonconformance investigations.
• Experience working in a startup, high‑growth manufacturing, or regulated hardware environment.
