Manufacturing Process Development Engineer, Intelligence Systems joins the Manufacturing Engineering team to develop and implement robust manufacturing processes for defense products. This role focuses on designing and optimizing manual assembly operations, dispensing applications for adhesives and sealants, and creating detailed technical documentation with visual aids. The engineer provides active lineside support, performs root cause analysis to resolve production deviations, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to ensure product manufacturability. Key responsibilities include establishing process parameters, validating manufacturing scales from prototype to production, and utilizing AS9100 standards for quality control. Required skills include proficiency in CAD software, experience with manufacturing execution systems, and knowledge of lean manufacturing principles. The role addresses the technical challenge of producing high-reliability defense technology in a high-volume, low-mix environment while ensuring consistent quality through rigorous process optimization and documentation.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize manual assembly processes for high-volume production environments.
  • Create comprehensive manufacturing work instructions and technical documentation with visual aids.
  • Engineer and optimize dispensing operations for adhesives, sealants, and thermal materials.
  • Provide real-time lineside support to resolve process deviations and maintain production flow.
  • Perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions to improve manufacturing processes.
  • Develop and validate process parameters to establish clear control limits for quality assurance.
  • Support new product introductions by scaling manufacturing processes from prototype to full production.
  • Participate in design reviews to provide feedback on manufacturability and assembly optimization.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing process development, preferably in a high-reliability industry (preferred).
  • Active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Expertise in creating detailed work instructions and manufacturing process documentation.
  • Experience optimizing manual assembly operations and dispensing technologies for adhesives or sealants.
  • Proficiency with CAD software for assembly documentation and tooling design.
  • Ability to improve processes using lean manufacturing principles, AS9100 standards, and root cause analysis.
  • Knowledge of DFMA, SPC, or Six Sigma certifications (preferred).
