Manufacturing Engineer Sr - E3

Standard Job Description

Role Overview
As a Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll help translate engineering designs into reliable, repeatable manufacturing processes for complex mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.

You’ll collaborate with design engineering, production, quality, and operations to improve processes, quality, efficiency, and delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to apply engineering principles to real-world manufacturing challenges while developing your expertise in aerospace and defense manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and improve manufacturing processes, procedures, and production layouts.
• Provide producibility feedback to design engineering throughout development and production.
• Create and maintain product flow diagrams, work instructions, and operating instructions.
• Evaluate nonconforming hardware and contribute to quality investigations and process improvements.
• Collaborate with production teams to implement improvements and increase efficiency.
• Partner with Production Control to prioritize work and support delivery schedules.
• Analyze production performance data and support Quality Assurance with root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Support the development and production of advanced defense systems.

Work Environment

• Location: On-site in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
• Team: Collaborative manufacturing and engineering environment working closely with production, test, engineering, quality, and operations teams.
• Schedule: 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off; occasional weekend or off-hours support may be required based on production needs.
• Travel: Travel is not a regular requirement of this position; occasional travel may be required based on business or program needs.
• Growth: Mentorship, skill development, and opportunities for career progression.

What You’ll Gain

• Apply engineering principles to real-world manufacturing challenges.
• Collaborate with engineering, production, test, quality, and operations teams.
• Develop expertise in manufacturing processes for complex mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.
• Build your manufacturing engineering capabilities through meaningful production work.
• Receive mentorship and opportunities for continued technical and professional development.
• Contribute to advanced aerospace and defense programs with a meaningful mission.
