Responsibilities
We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer focused on Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA), producibility engineering, and transition-to-production execution for low-cost interceptor systems.
This role will partner directly with Product Engineering from early concept development through full-rate production, ensuring interceptor designs are:
Cost-optimized for high-rate builds
Robust to supply chain variability
Architected for automated and semi-automated assembly
You will serve as the manufacturing authority embedded within the development lifecycle — driving design trades, quantifying cost impacts, maturing production processes, and enabling rapid ramp to rate production.
