Staff Mechanical Product Engineer (Production)

The role

The Staff Product Engineer serves as the primary design engineering presence on the production floor. This role bridges the gap between design intent and production execution across multiple production sites.

What you will do

• Serve as the primary design engineering point of contact on the production floor
• Triage and disposition Material Review Board (MRB) actions
• Resolve production process-blockers, design ambiguities, and drawing interpretation issues
• Provide rapid-response engineering support for nonconformance resolution
• Identify and escalate systemic design issues to core Design Engineering teams
• Perform and review mechanical design analyses
• Utilize 3D CAD tools to evaluate rework paths and model design modifications
• Apply knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes to assess nonconformances
• Bridge the translation of design intent into production-executable work
• Develop and maintain Standard Repair Manuals and engineering disposition guides

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
• Demonstrated experience working on or directly supporting a production floor in a hands-on engineering capacity
• Strong understanding of MRB processes, nonconformance management, and engineering disposition
• Experience with AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality management systems and associated production quality processes
• Familiarity with GD&T, engineering drawings, and specifications
• 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 an Austrailian Security Clearance

Nice to have

• Experience should span mechanical design engineering and production/manufacturing engineering roles
• 4 years in aerospace and/or defense
• 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 molding, composites and/or additive manufacturing
• Experience with drawings, GD&T (AS1100, ASME Y14.5), tolerance stack-up analysis
• Experience in the maritime domain (sealing, pressure vessels, corrosion and material compatibility, pressure testing)
• Prior experience as a Liaison Engineer, Sustaining Engineer, Product Engineer, or Production Support Engineer in an aerospace or defense environment
• Experience developing Standard Repair Manuals, engineering disposition guides, or similar production-autonomy documentation
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar continuous improvement methodologies

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
