Role Overview
As our Build Reliability Engineer
, you’ll own the integrity of the production process from prototype to full-rate manufacturing. You will be the connective tissue between design, manufacturing, and quality—ensuring that our builds are repeatable, efficient, and reliable. You’ll play a critical role in developing robust manufacturing processes, executing quality assurance strategies, and continuously improving product reliability in a mission-critical environment.
Key Responsibilities:
•
Define and implement processes to ensure reliable hardware builds at scale
•
Participate directly in prototype and production builds to validate processes, tooling, and assembly instructions
•
Lead root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions (RCAs and CAPAs) for production failures or field returns
•
Collaborate with design engineering to incorporate DFM/DFA best practices and ensure design-for-reliability
Manufacturing Engineering
•
Develop and optimize manufacturing workflows, tooling, and fixtures
•
Design custom fixtures and assembly aids to improve safety, efficiency, and consistency
•
Create build documentation including work instructions, travelers, and visual aids
•
Work hands-on with technicians, assemblers, and engineers on the floor to streamline builds and resolve issues in real-time
•
Partner with contract manufacturers and internal teams to scale production
Quality Engineering
•
Define quality control and inspection plans (IQC, IPQC, OQC)
•
Establish in-line and end-of-line test protocols to validate system performance
•
Implement and manage statistical process control (SPC) and process capability metrics
•
Maintain traceability and compliance with applicable quality standards and customer requirements
Who You Are
•
You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy solving hard problems with limited resources
•
You're equally comfortable on the manufacturing floor and in design review meetings
•
You believe quality and speed are not mutually exclusive
•
You take ownership and drive continuous improvement without waiting for permission
Qualifications
•
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or similar technical field)
•
4–7 years of experience in manufacturing, quality, or reliability engineering—preferably in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability hardware environment
•
Proficient in 3D CAD design using SolidWorks, Creo, or similar tools—experience designing fixtures, tooling, and assembly aids is a strong plus
•
Hands-on experience with mechanical/electromechanical system builds and test setups
•
Solid understanding of DFM/DFA, root cause analysis, FMEA/PFMEA, SPC, and other reliability and quality methodologies
•
Familiarity with quality standards and systems such as AS9100, ISO 9001, or MIL-STD compliant
•
Comfortable working across ERP/MRP and PLM systems (e.g., NetSuite, Odoo, Arena)
•
Strong communication skills and a bias toward action—able to thrive in a fast-paced, build-focused environment
