Job Description Role Overview This role ensures that complex autonomous platforms can transition from
prototype development to scalable, repeatable production .
The focus is on embedding
manufacturing readiness, scalability, and production feasibility into engineering decisions early in the lifecycle.
The key distinction: understanding the difference between
"a prototype that works” vs. "a product that can be built at scale.” Key Responsibilities Manufacturing Strategy & Validation Validate manufacturing and production concepts Define scalable approaches for:Fabrication Assembly Integration Inspection Transport Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Provide DFM input during design and development Evaluate:Geometry Interfaces Tolerances Assembly methods Ensure designs support production scalability Engineering & Cross-Functional Integration Review:Drawings Design packages Supplier inputs Engineering changes Participate in cross-functional design reviews Ensure production realities are incorporated early Production & Process Development Define production processes:Tooling Inspection strategies Material flow Quality checkpoints Assembly sequences Develop prototype-to-production transition plans Define workflows and facility requirements Risk Management & Continuous Improvement Identify manufacturing risks early Drive corrective actions before design freeze Capture lessons learned from:Testing Integration Production trials Vendor & Program Support Support supplier engagement Contribute to long-term production strategy Align multi-platform production scalability Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in:Manufacturing Mechanical Industrial Aerospace / Marine Engineering 5+ years in:Manufacturing Production engineering Complex system fabrication Experience with:Prototype-to-production transition Production process validation Strong knowledge of:Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) Production scalability Familiarity with:Tolerances Inspection methods Quality control Strong cross-functional collaboration skills Strong problem-solving ability Show more Numbers & Facts Location Clearwater, FL, FL
