About the role
- Lead the development, review, and control of mechanical manufacturing documentation including work instructions, assembly drawings, exploded views, torque specifications, SOPs, bill of materials, and process flow documentation
- Conduct DFM and DFA reviews during NPI to ensure mechanical designs are optimized for manufacturability, serviceability, ergonomics, and defect prevention
- Develop, maintain, and update PFMEA documentation and structured risk assessments for mechanical assembly processes including structural, piping, and pressure-related systems
- Define and standardize mechanical assembly methodologies including fastening strategies, torque validation, gasket and seal interfaces, alignment techniques, and workmanship standards
- Analyze and manage tolerance stack-ups to prevent fit-up issues, interference conditions, leakage paths, and structural misalignment
- Lead layout and installation strategy for mechanical subassemblies such as frames, enclosures, heat exchangers, piping, hoses, brackets, structural supports, and lifting interfaces
- Break down complex mechanical drawings into simplified, trainable, production-ready work instructions to support multi-level operator capability
- Develop and optimize mechanical build sequences to improve safety, ergonomics, takt time alignment, and overall labor efficiency (OLE)
- Partner with Industrial, Electrical, Controls, and Test Engineering to improve overall assembly flow, station balance, and cross-functional defect reduction
- Provide advanced hands-on troubleshooting support for mechanical build issues including fit-up challenges, tolerance stack-ups, structural stress points, leak sources, vibration concerns, and rework drivers
- Support equipment commissioning, FAT/SAT, and system acceptance activities related to mechanical integration and manufacturing readiness
- Ensure controlled documentation and ECN discipline throughout NPI, ramp, and sustaining production phases
- Lead continuous improvement initiatives focused on structural reliability, quality, safety, cost reduction, and mechanical process standardization
- Identify and implement opportunities to improve mechanical robustness, reduce warranty risk, and lower total cost of ownership
- Serve as escalation point and technical mentor for junior engineers and technicians within mechanical manufacturing operations
- Maintain accurate and controlled mechanical documentation throughout NPI, production ramps, and sustaining phases
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline
- Minimum of 7–10 years of progressive experience in mechanical manufacturing, industrial equipment assembly, or related engineering roles
- Demonstrated experience leading DFM/DFA initiatives and mechanical process optimization projects
- Experience developing and maintaining PFMEA and mechanical risk mitigation documentation
- Strong experience reading, reviewing, and interpreting mechanical drawings, GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and complex assembly prints
- Hands-on experience with structural builds, piping/hose routing, pressure interfaces, fastener strategies, and torque control systems
- Experience developing structured manufacturing documentation including SOPs, standard work, and visual training aids
- Working knowledge of applicable mechanical and safety standards (e.g., OSHA, ISO, ASME, torque and pressure safety practices)
- Experience supporting NPI launches, production ramps, and sustaining operations
