Troubleshoot production issues related to mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical assemblies.
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for quality or manufacturing issues.
Specify and validate tools, test equipment, and automation used in manufacturing.
Support supplier manufacturing readiness and outsourced builds as needed.
Maintain documentation, including bills of materials, routings, engineering change notices, and manufacturing records.
Use CAD models to support manufacturing documentation and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly analysis.
Define and support the redline process in internal manufacturing for continuous improvement.
Occasionally travel to support suppliers or customer sites.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with robotic systems, industrial automation, or material handling equipment.
Experience with prototype builds and transitioning designs into production.
Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, tolerance stack-ups, and fixture design.
Experience with pneumatics, motion systems, sensors, and industrial controls.
Six Sigma, Lean, or similar certifications.
Examples of reducing product costs, cycle times, or quality issues through Design for Manufacturing and Assembly suggestions or production work-cell improvements.
Experience with SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD.
Experience supporting field installations or system commissioning.
