Staff Mechanical Product Engineer (Platform)

The role

The Staff Product Engineer serves as the primary design engineering presence on the production floor. You will bridge the gap between design intent and production execution by resolving design questions and dispositioning nonconformances.

What you will do

• Serve as the primary design engineering point of contact on the production floor
• Represent the design authority at Material Review Board (MRB)
• Resolve production process-blockers, design ambiguities, and drawing interpretation issues
• Provide rapid-response engineering support and Root Cause Analysis to production, quality, and test teams
• Identify and escalate systemic design issues to core Design Engineering teams
• Support the translation of design intent into production-executable work
• Support the stand-up and ramp of production at new or expanding manufacturing sites
• Raise and implement engineering changes to correct production issues
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering on work instruction development and tooling validation
• Track and report key metrics such as disposition turnaround and repeat-discrepancy rate

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• 10+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• At least 4 years of experience in defense, aerospace or automotive
• Mechanical design and analysis capability to justify use-as-is and repair dispositions
• Demonstrated experience working on or directly supporting a production floor in a hands-on engineering capacity
• Strong understanding of Material Review Board (MRB) processes, nonconformance management, and engineering disposition
• Experience with ISO 9001 quality management systems and associated production quality processes
• Ability to interpret engineering GD&T drawings, specifications and to explain design intent to production personnel
• Experience supporting multi-site manufacturing operations or production transfers between facilities
• Working knowledge of configuration management, engineering change order (ECO) processes, and product lifecycle management (PLM) tools
• Ability to obtain and maintain an Australian Government security clearance

Nice to have

• Experience in the defence, maritime, automotive or aerospace industries
• Previous experience as a Product, Sustaining, Liaison or Production Support Engineer with delegated design or disposition authority
• Experience with NX, FEMAP and Teamcenter, or similar CAD, FEA and PLM systems
• Experience with the design, analysis, testing, implementation and support of mechanical parts and assemblies
• Experience with welding, machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, composites and/or additive manufacturing
• Experience with engineering drawings, GD&T (AS 1100, ASME Y14.5) and tolerance stack-up analysis
• Experience in the maritime domain (sealing, pressure vessels, corrosion and material compatibility, pressure testing)
• Experience delivering under Australian Defence contracts
• Experience with First Article Inspection and production readiness reviews
• Experience developing engineering disposition guides

Benefits

• Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full time offers
• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees
