- Manage and maintain complex Bills of Materials (BOMs), process routings, and manufacturing documentation.
- Oversee Engineering Change Requests (ECR) and Engineering Change Orders (ECO), ensuring accuracy, traceability, and continuity of product knowledge.
- Partner with product and process engineers to evaluate manufacturability during early design phases and standardize assembly processes across product lines.
- Develop and implement advanced data-driven approaches to process control, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
- Provide floor-level support for assembly, test, and validation activities-including hands-on root cause analysis and implementation of corrective actions.
- Contribute to facility layout planning, tooling design, capacity modeling, and equipment selection to support long-term manufacturing scalability.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 5 years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process engineering in a product-based or construction-focused environment.
- Proven experience across mechanical and electrical system manufacturing, including mobile or large-scale machinery.
- Hands-on experience with welding, fabrication, and electro-mechanical assemblies.
- Deep understanding of process documentation, quality standards, and configuration management practices.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks or other parametric CAD tools.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills to facilitate collaboration across teams.
- Ability to lift 50 lbs unassisted and support hands-on troubleshooting in a factory environment.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
- Advanced data analytics skills with the ability to use metrics and statistical tools for process optimization and problem-solving.
- Experience managing third-party certifications (NRTL, CE) and navigating product compliance pathways.
- Demonstrated ownership of process definition and implementation in a fast-paced, iterative R&D-to-production environment.
- Strong systems thinking with the ability to synthesize mechanical, electrical, and software elements into streamlined manufacturing processes.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities with a flexible, solution-oriented mindset.
