About The Role

The Opportunity:

The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for evaluating current manual processes and making them more efficient, robust and reliable through improved instructions, tooling or implementing automation solutions.

This role is ideal for someone with strong factory-floor instincts, who understands how to build things at rate and with an eye towards economics based automation in the real world—not just on paper—and who thrives in a fast-moving, build-focused environment.

In this role your work will optimize processes and enable production employees, engineers and scientists across the organization as they bring our demonstration system online.

What You’ll Do:

•  Set-up and analyze manufacturing processes to identify assembly sequence and tooling improvements as well as automation opportunities that reduce labor and increase throughput, capacity, capability, and yield
  
• Collaborate with design engineering to influence product DFM/DFA (Design for Manufacturability/Automation) to ease automation integration
  
• Design and develop tools that aid in error free assembly, improve safety and quality
  
• Write and or edit electronic work instructions for repetitive assembly steps to document the best known practices, incorporate inspection steps to verify quality, document traceability and data collection steps as needed
  
• Specify, source, and deploy off-the-shelf or custom automation equipment including conveyors, actuators, robotics, inspection stations, and tooling
  
• Write and maintain documentation for equipment setup, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance
  
• Support process development and initial production, with a focus on root cause analysis and continuous improvement
  
• Facilitate change management on the facility floor; including manufacturing validation
  
• Partner closely with area managers, manufacturing technicians, mechanical engineers, and quality to ensure equipment performance aligns with production goals
