- Develop lightweight documentation and process standards to support scaling production without slowing engineering iteration
- Build and iterate on tooling, jigs, and test setups to support reliable, high-throughput production
- Help identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in how parts, materials, and data move through the factory, and work with cross-functional teams to improve them
- Support early production of high-performance printed parts, helping bridge the gap between R&D and high-rate manufacturing
Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in a hands-on manufacturing or production engineering role
- Experience with metal additive manufacturing or precision post-processing
- Exposure to fixturing, DFM, or process validation
- Experience scaling early-stage R&D into production
- Familiarity with MRP/ERP tools and lightweight production tracking systems
- Familiarity with manufacturing process development in a fast-paced hardware environment
- Ability to translate high-level engineering goals into practical factory processes
