Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Engineer

Andrenam is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to help grow and scale our development builds into low-volume manufacture. You'll close the gap between a design that works in the lab and a process that builds it reliably each time. We're a small team growing quickly. Many of our processes are still being established, so you'll have a direct hand in defining how we build, not just executing a process someone else already wrote.

In This Role

• You will work side by side with technicians and design engineers on the floor, closing the gap between what a design allows and what a build needs to help make a better product, faster.
• You will translate EBOMs into MBOMs and routings, and own the work instructions, fixtures, and tooling a technician needs to build a unit correctly the first time.
• You will define and adjust assembly work centers based on takt time, work content, and station balancing as build rates increase.
• You will give design engineers DFM feedback before a part is released, not after it turns into a build problem.
• You will identify product and process deficiencies on the floor and drive the fix, whether that's a design change, a new fixture, or a revised work instruction.
• You will define and implement quality requirements and inspection criteria for new and evolving assemblies.
• You will design production tooling, jigs, and fixtures to support precision assembly and test.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in fast-paced manufacturing environments.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, or a similar engineering discipline.
• Strong DFM (Design for Manufacture) fundamentals.
• Proficiency creating MBOMs from EBOMs.
• A hands-on approach. You're as comfortable on the floor as you are at a workstation.

Nice To Have

• High familiarity with electrical and mechanical assembly, plastic part manufacture, and/or PCB manufacture.
• Startup or collegiate team project experience (Formula SAE, Rocket Club, or similar).
• Proficiency with Siemens NX and Teamcenter.
• Experience designing production tooling.
• Lean/Six Sigma experience or certification.

Location

Torrance, CA. This role is on-site, working directly on the production floor.
