Responsibilities

Develop and maintain manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling, and fixtures for robotic systems and subassemblies
Translate product designs into efficient, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing processes
Support new product introduction (NPI), including prototype builds, pilot runs, and production ramp
Collaborate with design engineers to influence DFM/DFA decisions and reduce cost, risk, and cycle time
Define build sequences, takt times, line layouts, and labor models
Identify and implement process improvements to improve quality, throughput, ergonomics, and safety
Troubleshoot production issues related to mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical assemblies
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for quality or manufacturing issues
Specify and validate tools, test equipment, and automation used in manufacturing
Support supplier manufacturing readiness and outsourced builds as needed
Maintain accurate documentation including BOMs, routings, ECNs, and manufacturing records
Utilize CAD models to support manufacturing documentation and DFM/DFA analysis
Define and support redline process in internal manufacturing for continuous improvement
