TL;DR · Senior NPI Engineer, Actuators

As a Senior NPI Engineer, Actuators, you will join the engineering team to develop highly automated manufacturing and pilot lines from concept through production for new and existing products. You will drive innovative manufacturing processes to improve battery performance and cost, execute Designs of Experiments to optimize manufacturability, and manage the installation and ramp of development lines. The role involves creating machine specifications, documentation, and coordinating between design and manufacturing teams to optimize systems before release. You will utilize NX for test fixture design and may use Python, MATLAB, or C/C++ for data analysis and test automation. This position focuses on the production of electromechanical actuators and drive systems within the aerospace, defense, and robotics sectors, solving complex challenges in manufacturing yield, throughput, and equipment optimization for advanced hardware components.

What you'll do

  • Develop highly automated manufacturing and pilot lines from initial concept through to full production.
  • Drive the development of innovative manufacturing processes to improve battery performance and reduce costs.
  • Execute Designs of Experiments (DoEs) to characterize boundary conditions and optimize for manufacturability.
  • Act as the primary liaison between design and manufacturing teams to optimize products for automation.
  • Optimize equipment and processes to increase yield, throughput, and availability while reducing lead times.
  • Manage the installation, qualification, and ramp-up of various development lines.
  • Create machine specifications, technical standards, and necessary production documentation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience developing and launching manufacturing assembly lines from concept to production for products with actuators or drive systems.
  • 7+ years of experience in the manufacturing and design of mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical systems.
  • At least 1 year of experience specifically focused on electric motors or electromechanical actuators.
  • Proficiency in NX CAD software for test fixture design and an understanding of design for manufacturability.
  • Experience with Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or other scripting languages for data analysis and test automation.
  • Familiarity with project and documentation management tools like Jira and Confluence.
  • Experience in the aerospace, defense, or robotics industry.
