THE PURPOSE:

Develop and implement robust manufacturing processes for large scale vacuum structures and the Hyperloop guide-way infrastructure. 

 THE ROLE:

• Work daily with Hyperstructures design engineers to understand the most up-to-date product requirements and development status to ensure manufacturing development keeps pace
• Provide subject matter expertise on the fabrication, assembly and install of civil structures, large scale infrastructure and/or high accuracy assemblies
• 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
• Research and select the most appropriate capital equipment vendors for manufacturing process equipment
• Manage capital equipment build from start to finish including statement of work, design review, schedule management, run-off testing, shipping & installation and validation/verification testing
• Write standard operation procedures, manuals and safety documentation for manufacturing processes individually or in conjunction with a technical writer
• May utilize 2D and 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.

 THE CANDIDATE:

An experienced manufacturing engineer who has built large infrastructure/assemblies and can prove it. Someone able 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. An articulate individual who can relate to people at all levels of an organization and possesses excellent skills in the following: Communication, organization, spatial imagination, mechanical assembly and judgment.
