Manufacturing Engineer (Raptor Combustion Devices Machining)

• ◆Identify, develop, and implement machining processes to help solve for engine cost, quality, and production rate – specifically focused on valve, turbopump, thrust chamber or injector hardware.
• ◆Work between manufacturing and design engineers, machinists, technicians, and quality to ensure processes are robust and any production problems are quickly solved.
• ◆Partner with design to identify and implement design for manufacturing (DFM) updates at both the piece part and system level, own change management into production.
• ◆Aggressively implement machining process controls that allow parts to run ‘lights out’. Leverage latest technologies and programming strategies to reduce in-cycle intervention.
• ◆Be responsible for part or part family quality; understand quality landscape, and drive projects to ensure dimensions meet part

with low overhead.

• ✓Drive machining processes toward statistically controlled (SPC) environment. Develop and implement tools needed to show capability.
• ✓Oversee full circle machining process from fixture design and manufacturing, CAM programming and program refinement, cutting tool selection, and buyoff/inspection methodologies.
• ✓Constantly challenge each process, part, operation to create the most manufacturable and reliable engine hardware possible.
• ✓Work with production to ensure the hardware you are responsible for is delivered on time or ahead of schedule.
• ✓Oversee introduction and implementation of new products and products revisions, frequently multiple at a given time.

• ✓Bachelor's degree in engineering discipline or physics.
• ✓1+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment (student project team and internship experience qualifies).

• ✓Strong experience with machining concepts, problems and producing hardware.
• ✓Ability and desire to work in a fast-paced, problem-solving environment.
• ✓Experience in design or product development engineering role.
• ✓Master's degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or aerospace engineering.
• ✓Ability to work on multiple projects and initiatives in parallel.
• ✓Mechanical component and/or tooling design and analysis (3D computer-aided design).
• ✓Experience with process development from R&D to volume manufacturing.
• ✓Experience writing work instructions and procedures for critical aerospace parts.
• ✓Experience in a production environment within the aerospace industry.

• ✓This is a hands-on position that will require standing for long durations of your day and working directly with hardware on the floor.
• ✓Must be comfortable stooping, bending, and standing.
• ✓Position may require occasional travel, long hours or weekend work.
