Responsibilities

Define, develop, implement, optimize and sustain rocket engine tube fabrication workorders, test processes, and tube/duct/flex line assemblies

Translate engineering intent, drawings, and specifications into fully functional hardware by developing manufacturing work instructions that clearly define the following manufacturing processes: tube fabrication, welding, heat treating, non-destructive testing, and precision cleaning

Closely manage the fabrication process including sequence, cost, quality and schedule of hardware on a daily basis

Conduct manufacturing simulations, DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design and build

Apply emerging AI technologies alongside traditional manufacturing engineering tools to optimize processes, reduce cycle times, and improve first-time quality

Perform root cause analysis when non-conformances and escapes are identified and deploy corrective actions

Create and maintain BOMs, routings, and work instructions for propellant feed lines and their respective assemblies

Create/modify manufacturing work instructions to disposition Non-conformances quickly

Utilize lean manufacturing methodology for process development, improvement and problem solving

Design, procure, install, and qualify custom manufacturing equipment/fixtures

Troubleshoot and operate equipment as required

Collaborate closely with internal customers (M&P engineers, test technicians, manufacturing engineers, management and design/analysis engineers) to define requirements and align tools to meet company objectives
