Mechanical Engineer:
We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Mechanical Engineer III to lead scale-up and manufacturing initiatives for soft magnetic materials and stack assemblies in advanced technology applications. This role is pivotal in bridging R&D and full-scale production, ensuring high-performance materials are manufactured efficiently and reliably for use in cutting-edge products.
Primary Responsibilities Mechanical Engineer:

• Lead process development and scale-up for soft magnetic materials and stack component manufacturing used in high-performance applications (e.g., EVs, robotics, aerospace).
• Develop and document design of parts and fixtures used in the production of soft magnetic product.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, product design, and quality to transition prototypes into scalable manufacturing processes.
• Develop and optimize manufacturing workflows, including powder metallurgy, lamination stacking, sintering, and heat treatment.
• Implement statistical process control (SPC) and lean manufacturing principles to improve yield, reduce waste, and ensure product consistency.
• Evaluate and select equipment, tooling, and automation for pilot and full-scale production.
• Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for process deviations or quality issues.
• Support supplier development and qualification for raw materials and outsourced processes.
• Document process parameters, work instructions, and validation protocols in compliance with industry standards.
  

Required For The Mechanical Engineer:

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field required. Master’s degree preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, preferably in soft magnetics, advanced materials, or stack assembly.
  

Preferred For The Mechanical Engineer:

• Experience in automotive, aerospace, or electronics manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, or similar quality systems.
• Knowledge of magnetic characterization techniques and performance testing.
• Problem-solving skills.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to be well organized and prioritize tasks and make appropriate decisions, work with moderate supervision.
