THE PURPOSE:

Develop and implement robust manufacturing processes for sub-systems of the Hyperloop vehicle power system. Sub-systems include electrical motors, propulsion, mag-lev, braking, controller drives, batteries, power storage & distribution systems. Processes include in-house manufacturing, contract manufacturing and vendor management.

THE ROLE:

• Work daily with hardware design engineers to understand the most up-to-date product requirements and development status to ensure manufacturing development keeps pace.
• Work with more experienced Manufacturing Engineers to provide and develop subject-matter expertise on the fabrication, assembly and install of Hyperloop sub-systems.
• Work with a project coordinator to develop and maintain a project schedule for assigned projects.
• Research, design, prototype and develop manufacturing processes ranging the entire Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) spectrum from preliminary “laboratory” testing to full-scale mass production.
• Research & report total process costs for various design trades including raw materials, cycle time, outside vendors, capital & tooling investments, facility requirements, direct & indirect labor and logistics costs.
• Gather & report sufficient detailed information for make vs. buy decisions.
• Work directly with procurement to evaluate outside vendors for capability and supply chain suitability.
• Write standard operation procedures, manuals and safety documentation for manufacturing processes individually or in conjunction with a technical writer.
• Utilize 2D/3D CAD software to communicate concepts, design basic development fixtures, & equipment.
• Draw manufacturing process layouts using standard 2D/3D CAD.
• Develop & assist in writing manufacturing IP documentation.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
