Applicants should have 3–5+ years in manufacturing, strong DFM/A and GD&T knowledge, and proficiency in CAD tools. This on-site role in Huntington Beach offers a path to impactful innovation in national security hardware.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in industrial & systems, mechanical, aerospace, or manufacturing engineering.
3–5+ years in manufacturing, process engineering, or industrialization.
Strong background in process documentation and quality systems.
Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and process capability.
Hands-on experience with shop-floor processes (machining, welding, composites, additive manufacturing, assembly, test).
Experience designing components and assemblies through first-principles DFM/A strategies.
Experience using first-principles approach to solving complex engineering problems.
Familiarity with Manufacturing System Optimization strategies in high-volume production environments.
Proficient in CAD, preferably Siemens NX, Catia, Solidworks.

Responsibilities

Take extreme ownership of production planning from late-stage prototype builds through Mass-Production ramp at Mach’s Forge Factories.

Drive product design optimization using first-principles DFM/A - focusing on part count and complexity reduction, tooling/equipment compatibility, and poka-yoke implementation.
Develop and execute fast-paced, robust Manufacturing launch schedules.
Lead cross-functional Make vs. Buy studies with supply chain to secure rate-capable vendors and on-time part availability.
Lead Manufacturing Virtual-Build events, covering fabrication feasibility/optimization, assembly sequencing, clearance analysis, GD&T, DVA, part presentation and handling, and tolerance stack-up risks.
Define the full manufacturing system via coherent MBoM, BoP, and BoE datastructures, captured in EasyPlan, DELMIA, Heliux, or an equivalent supporting tool.
Collaborate with controls engineering to ideate, deploy automation cells and conveyance; project-manage vendors through FAT and SAT.
Own headcount/equipment capacity planning, OPEX/CAPEX estimates, PMTS cycle time analysis, factory layouts (AutoCAD), and NIOSH-compliant ergonomics.
Support PFEP, release controlled work instructions/quality gates in MES, and provide daily production support during validation and factory production ramp.
Drive quality with SPC, PFMEA, 8D root cause analysis, and continuous improvement alongside technicians and cross-functional teams.
