Job Description
An employer is looking for a Mechanical Engineer in Redmond, Wa. As a First Line Support - Manufacturing Engineer, you will be directly responsible for building, testing, qualifying and producing next generation spacecraft. You will utilize innovative solutions and cutting-edge technology to solve difficult manufacturing and engineering problems on a daily basis, at both a systems and specialized level. You will be the first line of support for all manner of technical challenges to the production team, using your expertise to rapidly respond to, triage, and solve product issues which slow down factory throughput. You’ll convert the first line troubleshooting into structural improvement projects to both improve the green-to-green recovery time for when line disturbances occur, as well as eliminate the generation of disturbances entirely through collaboration with other technical functions.
Key job responsibilities
• Support operations teams directly by being the first technical point of contact for production disturbances, unblocking production issues & finding structural solutions to prevent their recurrence • Process defective material for engineering evaluation to determine path forward • Modify shop orders to enable continuous production execution • Develop & Improve troubleshooting documentation for production test hardware
Normal day
• 75% of time will be spent on-the production floor working with technician teams to solve all types of technical blockers, from test report reviews, defect material triage, ERP blockers, etc.
• 25% of time will be spent performing independent development work such as performing data analysis on disturbances, improving troubleshoot documentation, etc.
Leadership principles and work environment Three key leadership principles were emphasized: bias for action due to the operational nature of production support, learn and be curious for adapting to different tasks and areas, and ownership for taking responsibility in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. The work involves interdisciplinary collaboration across mechanical, electrical, and optical technologies for satellite communication components.
Benefits packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
