About the team:

The factories-as-a-service team analyzes our current customers' production and supply chain challenges, builds data-driven presentations, designs and scopes factories of the future, and assists the Federal and Strategic sales team in forming long-term partnerships with the DOD, Primes, and other manufacturers.

This team is responsible for scoping, design, cost, schedule, and technology analysis, as well as proposals for major programs and manufacturing transformations across all manufacturing methods and domains.

With several major programs in flight, we are hiring rapidly for this team that will effectively analyze, design, scope, plan, and handover (or join) execution of large-scale manufacturing efforts.

About the Role:
We're looking for an early-career Manufacturing Engineer to join our Factories as a Service team-an initiative focused on building, modernizing, and scaling advanced manufacturing systems across aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure.

In this role, you'll support the design, development, and ramp-up of factory lines across multiple processes. You'll collaborate with senior engineers, automation teams, and program leads to review technical drawings, evaluate manufacturing feasibility, and contribute to production and inspection workflows.

This is a high-growth opportunity for someone who's excited to work across disciplines, develop core manufacturing skills, and help solve real-world industrial challenges.

What You'll Do:

• Review part and assembly drawings to assess manufacturing feasibility

• Assist in developing production workflows and tooling requirements

• Support CapEx research, equipment evaluation, and vendor coordination

• Provide technical input to automation and inspection planning

What We're Looking For:

• 1-3 years of experience in a manufacturing or industrial engineering environment

• Comfortable reading mechanical drawings and applying DFM principles

• Strong problem-solving mindset and eagerness to work hands-on

• Interest in building modern manufacturing systems and processes

• Willingness to travel (~25%) for site visits and vendor interaction

What Will Set You Apart:

• Exposure to high-mix/low-volume production environments

• Familiarity with CNC machining, additive, assembly, or precision manufacturing

• Interest in robotics, automation, or systems integration

For this role, the target salary range is $125,000-$175,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
