Qualifications

• Degree in a technical field such as engineering.
• 8+ years in manufacturing or design of electromechanical hardware.
• Proven ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment.
• Deep expertise in DFM, tolerance analysis, and GD&T, with the ability to influence design decisions directly.

• Work as a conduit between engineering data packages and technicians to ensure products are manufactured as designed/analyzed.
• Drive design for manufacturing (DFM) early in the development cycle with tolerance stack-ups and GD&T checks.
• Own creation and management of the MBOM, reflecting the as-built configuration and design evolution.
• Define the work execution strategy, including work instructions and part consumption against work orders.
