Principal Manufacturing Engineer, Energetics

Mach Industries is seeking a Principal Manufacturing Engineer, Energetics to lead the development and industrialization of manufacturing systems for solid rocket motors (SRMs), pyrotechnics, and energetic products.

This role will have end-to-end technical ownership of energetic manufacturing capability, from early manufacturing concepts and process architecture through facility buildout, equipment integration, commissioning, qualification, and production launch.

You will define how energetic products are manufactured at scale: translating product and process

into manufacturing cells, production lines, hazardous-process facilities, equipment specifications, controls architectures, material flows, and commissioning plans.

This is a highly cross-functional role requiring coordination across product engineering, manufacturing, automation, facilities, EHS, quality, operations, external A/E firms, equipment OEMs, and systems integrators.

The ideal candidate has personally taken complex manufacturing systems from concept through production and is comfortable operating as the technical DRI for large, multidisciplinary capital projects.

and production targets into manufacturing processes, equipment requirements, cycle times, staffing models, material flows, and factory layouts.

• ✓Develop process flows, equipment concepts, line balancing, capacity models, manufacturing requirements, and capital equipment roadmaps.
• ✓Establish equipment boundaries, interfaces, utilities, controls requirements, inspection strategy, and material-handling concepts.
• ✓Lead design reviews including process, equipment, layout, automation, operability, maintainability, and production-readiness reviews.
• ✓Identify manufacturing bottlenecks and develop scalable production architectures capable of supporting significant rate increases.
• ✓Drive Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) feedback into product development.

including equipment layouts, utilities, hazardous-area requirements, material flows, personnel flows, storage requirements, and operational constraints.

• ✓Work directly with architects, A/E firms, general contractors, EHS, authorities having jurisdiction, and equipment integrators throughout facility design and construction.
• ✓Participate in concept design, basis-of-design development, FEED, detailed design, construction, installation, and startup.
• ✓Ensure facility design supports production throughput, equipment maintainability, future expansion, safe operations, and efficient material movement.
• ✓Own manufacturing

and interfaces between the facility, process equipment, automation systems, utilities, and production operations.

for custom and off-the-shelf manufacturing equipment.

• ✓Lead equipment vendor and systems-integrator selection from technical evaluation through execution.
• ✓Own technical execution of major manufacturing equipment programs including design reviews, fabrication, integration, installation, and acceptance.
• ✓Work with automation engineers and integrators to define controls, robotics, machine vision, data acquisition, traceability, and manufacturing software requirements.
• ✓Review and approve equipment designs for process capability, safety, serviceability, controls architecture, and production readiness.
• ✓Manage technical interfaces across multiple equipment suppliers and integrators to ensure individual systems function as a complete manufacturing line.
