Saronic Technologies is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to drive the development and optimization of manufacturing processes for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) serving the Department of Defense. This role bridges design and production, ensuring efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality manufacturing of complex electromechanical systems.
You will own process development, designing and optimizing manufacturing workflows while implementing lean principles to reduce waste and improve efficiency. You'll collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to translate specifications into production reality, and work with suppliers to qualify materials and components. Quality assurance is central to the role: you'll establish control measures, conduct root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions to maintain the highest product standards.
Continuous improvement is embedded in the position. You'll identify efficiency opportunities, stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies, and incorporate advancements into manufacturing processes. You'll also manage comprehensive documentation to ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards applicable to autonomous maritime systems, and provide training and troubleshooting support to production personnel.
This is a hands-on role that requires both technical depth and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-growing defense technology company building cutting-edge autonomous maritime platforms.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field (Master's degree preferred)
- Proven experience in manufacturing engineering, particularly with complex electromechanical systems
- Familiarity with autonomous systems, robotics, or maritime technologies (highly desirable)
- Strong understanding of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies
- Knowledge of industry standards and regulations related to autonomous maritime systems
- U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, green card holder, or protected asylee/refugee status) due to export-controlled information access
