You will own the translation of complex machine technology from proof of concept to repeatable, reliable, and scalable manufacturing execution.
Key responsibilities include:
- Serve as the primary manufacturing development engineering owner for critical factory modules, subsystems, and processes
- Develop deep technical understanding of assigned systems, including architecture, operating modes, controls, interfaces, failure modes, and interactions
- Own manufacturing readiness of complex machine systems from development through build, commissioning, validation, qualification, and production handoff
- Lead development and continuous improvement of work instructions, standard operating procedures, test procedures, and process documentation
- Lead complex troubleshooting, root cause corrective action (RCCA), and corrective action implementation to improve machine reliability, uptime, quality, and repeatability
- Partner with design engineering, automation, software, operations, quality, supply chain, and R&D to improve manufacturability and execution
- Drive design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), tolerance, process capability, tooling, fixture, and cycle time improvements
- Support design changes through PLM, configuration management, change control, implementation planning, and production cut-in
- Mentor engineers and technicians while raising standards for ownership, technical rigor, documentation quality, and follow-through
Work environment is office and factory-based in Torrance, California.
