THE PURPOSE:

You will be a part of the Manufacturing Process Development team where you will research, develop, and implement robust manufacturing and integration processes for the Hyperloop Vehicle system, directing DFM and DTC findings to the design team. You will aid in prototype builds, and help sustain low and high volume production of vehicle structure and integration.
THE ROLE:

• Research, design, prototype and develop manufacturing processes ranging the entire Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) spectrum from preliminary laboratory testing to full scale mass production
• Function as a key go-to subject matter expert on the manufacturing of vehicle structure and integration of vehicle sub systems
• Work with a team including Lead Engineer & Project Coordinator to ensure the team meets critical project schedule deadlines
• Work daily with hardware design engineers to understand the most up-to-date product requirements and development status to ensure manufacturing development keeps pace or leads product design
• 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, etc.
• Research & publish manufacturing technical memos on manufacturing recommendations, feasibility studies and cost savings initiatives
• Support prototype builds and high-volume production runs (sustaining engineering) of complex vehicle sub systems
• Perform other duties as assigned

THE CANDIDATE:

• Ability to chart a path forward through ambiguity and lack of definition
• A decisive individual who possesses a "big picture" perspective and is well versed in complex engineering systems
• Ability to make effective decisions and presentations on complex manufacturing topics to technicians, engineers, managers and executives

MINIMUM REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proficiency in interpreting complex part and assembly drawings
• Experience in design, prototype, and down selection of manufacturing processes via Design of Experiments
• Experience in taking products from NPI phase through high volume production while giving design team DFX feedback on material, costs, and supply chain considerations

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• B.S. or higher in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, materials engineering or equivalent
• Proficiency in ASME Y14.5 GD&T, 2D and 3D CAD
• Capability and familiarity with wide range of metallic manufacturing methods, such as machining, roll forming, extrusion, welding, laser cutting, riveting, match drilling
• 4+ years of engineering experience in one or more of the following:
