Responsibilities

Own and develop manufacturing processes for critical sub-systems with the Antares reactor that require both conventional manufacturing and special processes

Mature processes from prototype to production by establishing standard processes, workflows, and qualification plans

Participate in design reviews and analyze parts/assemblies to assess and influence their form/fit to make them more manufacturable, based on achievable process tolerances and inspection capabilities

Collaborate with design, materials, and manufacturing team members to ensure designs are compatible with process capabilities and to drive DFM improvements

Analyze and disposition manufacturing discrepancies and lead multi-disciplinary teams on root cause analysis and corrective actions

Develop new and evaluate existing manufacturing processes and equipment to reduce non-conformance frequency/severity and reduce operating costs

Identify and execute design-for-manufacturability improvements which have system-wide improvements to the department

Communicate daily with supporting departments such as production, machining, maintenance, quality, and design engineering to ensure that product is delivered on time and to specifications

Train technicians, engineers, and leaders on best-in-class operations practices by driving process improvement workshops; providing training and information briefs on key topics; and demonstrating solutions in the area

Participate in root cause investigations that arise in development, production, test, integration, and field operation to implement corrective actions to prevent repeat failures
