Job description

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies.

Job responsibilities

  • Take extreme ownership of production planning from late-stage prototype builds through 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/equipment compatibility, and poka-yoke implementation.
  • Develop and execute fast-paced, robust Manufacturing launch schedules.
  • Lead cross-functional Make vs. Buy studies with supply chain to secure rate-capable vendors and on-time part availability.
  • Lead Manufacturing Virtual-Build events, covering fabrication feasibility/optimization, assembly sequencing, clearance analysis (hand/tool/material), GD&T, DVA, part presentation and handling, and tolerance stack-up…
  • Define the full manufacturing system via coherent MBoM, BoP, and BoE datastructures, captured in EasyPlan, DELMIA, Heliux, or an equivalent supporting tool.
  • Collaborate with controls engineering to ideate, deploy automation cells and conveyance; project-manage vendors through Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and onsite bring-up (SAT).

Job requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in industrial & systems, mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 3-5+ years in manufacturing, process engineering, or industrialization roles(internship and school projects experience qualifies).
  • Strong background in process documentation and quality systems.
  • Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and process capability.
  • Hands-on experience with shop floor processes (machining, welding, composites, additive manufacturing, assembly, test).
  • Experience designing components and assemblies through first-principles application of DFM/A strategies.
  • Experience using first-principles approach to solving complex engineering problems.
  • Familiarity with Manufacturing System Optimization strategies in high-volume production environments.
