December 2026 New Graduate Engineer, Manufacturing

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Take extreme ownership of production planning, from late-stage prototype builds through the mass-production ramp at Mach’s Forge Factories.
• Design high-throughput manufacturing systems that achieve world-class first-pass yield at target cycle times.
• Drive product design optimization using first-principles DFM/A, focusing on part-count and complexity reduction, tooling and equipment compatibility, and poka-yoke implementation.
• Develop and execute fast-paced, robust manufacturing launch schedules.
• Lead cross-functional make-or-buy studies with Supply Chain to secure rate-capable vendors and ensure on-time part availability.
• Lead manufacturing virtual-build events covering fabrication feasibility and optimization, assembly sequencing, clearance analysis (hand, tool, and material), GD&T, DVA, part presentation and handling, tolerance…
• Define the full manufacturing system through coherent MBoM, BoP, and BoE data structures captured in EasyPlan, DELMIA, Heliux, or an equivalent supporting tool.
• Collaborate with Controls Engineering to conceptualize and deploy automation cells and conveyance systems. Project-manage vendors through factory acceptance testing (FAT) and on-site bring-up and site acceptance…

Job requirements

• 1-3+ years of mechanical, manufacturing, build, or integration experience. Experience gained through project teams, research, internships, and professional roles qualifies.
• Bachelor's degree in industrial & systems, mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing engineering, or equivalent experience
• Graduating with a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree by December 2026 or January 2027.
• Experience in high-volume and/or high-tech Manufacturing environments, including, but not limited to, Automotive and Aerospace Technology organizations.
• Experience leveraging Lean Six Sigma manufacturing principles during the planning, ramp, and steady state production phases of the launch cycle.
• Proficient in probability-and statistics-based engineering problem-solving, preferably using software tools such as Minitab.
• Hands-on experience with shop floor processes (machining, welding, composites, additive manufacturing, assembly, test).
• Understanding of process documentation and quality systems.
