  Manufacturing Engineer

  • Hands on engineering support and oversight for high throughput production and mechanical assembly of space and military products• Provide technical guidance and training for technicians/line operators on manufacturing processes• Implement new manufacturing processes to maximize flow and reduce touch time/cycle time• Determination of root cause (RCA) and corrective action required (CAR) for technical issues • Responsible for process control documentation including Work Instructions and In-Process Records • Create router documents to match process flow as defined in newly created Work Instructions• Extensive experience analyzing and interpreting GD&T prints• Experience with Tool Design and Fabrication using SolidWorks• Provide technical and analytical support into the design of components and assemblies to maximize quality, and minimize cost • Experience working with Internal Research and Design (IRAD) for design for manufacturability, and to transition prototypes to commercial production• Work in conjunction with Quality for final inspection of units before shipping• Discovered root cause (RCA) and determined corrective action required for potting and wire failure issues on production floor. Effectively reduced rework/scrap of production units.• Design of Experimentation (DOE) and systematically recommended to shorten potting procedure and cure schedule to increase efficiency of manufacturability. Resulted in reduced touch time, cycle time, rework, and effectively increased production flow of high volume production units. • Traveled multiple times to customer’s location to oversee critical rework of production units mounted on satellites.
