Responsibilities
Complex Part Engineering
Engineer solutions for producing parts with complex geometries, tight tolerances, and demanding specifications
Solve process design challenges for parts with undercuts, variable wall thickness, multi-material construction, and precision features
Develop approaches for parts that others consider unmanufacturable, with focus on volume production capability
Work with advanced polymer and composite materials to create high-performance components for large-scale manufacturing
Problem-Solving Through Equipment Development
Build whatever equipment is needed to make complex parts work - forming presses, custom tooling, specialized fixtures, and high-throughput processing equipment
Create SolidWorks models and detailed drawings with proper GD&T for tooling and equipment designed for high volume processes
Machine, weld, and assemble custom solutions when off-the-shelf equipment won't suffice for production requirements
Prototype rapidly until parts meet specifications consistently and processes are ready for scale-up
Part Development & Manufacturing Solutions
Take on part challenges that require innovative manufacturing approaches capable of high-volume production
Design and build forming processes for complex brackets, housings, structural components, and precision assemblies with polymer and composite materials
Solve inserts, handling, and quality control challenges for difficult geometries in production environments
Develop repeatable, high-volume processes for complex parts that can efficiently scale to large production runs
Hands-On Implementation
Build and test whatever tools, fixtures, and equipment are needed to make parts work at production volumes
Troubleshoot part quality issues and implement design solutions for volume manufacturing
Work directly with prototype parts to understand manufacturing constraints and scale-up opportunities for polymer and composite components
Qualification
Required
