  • Drive the scale-up of our flagship product line, balancing throughput, quality, and cost.
  • Lead the manufacturing engineering effort for launching a new production line for a larger and more capable jet.
  • Develop CPD/Fibersim definitions & producibility assessments for composite parts.
  • Scope and deploy critical production infrastructure, including manufacturing equipment, tooling, and hardware/software systems.
  • Engage with vendors to source and integrate capital equipment, production tools, and automation systems.
  • Mentor engineers and production personnel to build organizational capability and technical depth.
  • Champion cross-functional initiatives that standardize and improve manufacturing performance at scale.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or a related field, or relevant experience.
  • 7+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, with a focus in rapid growth environments.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (Solidwork, NX, or CATIA).
  • Experience with Composite Part Design (CPD), or Fibersim, and Generative Shape Design (GSD).
  • Experience in owning the scale of production processes in a startup or rapid-growth environment.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing composites processes, including machining, lamination, and/or assembly.
  • Experience with process improvement methodologies, such as Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and adapt to changing priorities.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Knowledge of quality standards, such as AS9100 or ISO 9001.
  • Familiarity with advanced manufacturing technologies, such as additive manufacturing or automation systems.
  • Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and data-driven decision-making in a manufacturing context.
  • Hands-on experience with manufacturing equipment and tooling design.
  • Strong project management skills, including experience managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
