Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. The Role As Lead Manufacturing Engineer, Joining, you'll be Mach's go-to expert on how our vehicles are held together: when to bolt, rivet, bond, or combine methods. You'll own torque tooling and adhesive dispense standards in Mach's prototype factory. That means selecting, buying and deploying the tools our technicians use to build every vehicle, and making sure each joint is tightened right, every torque curve is reported, and every bead of adhesive meets profile inspection criteria. You'll push the field forward through research and development (R&D) on new materials, hardware and processes; from designing experiments, to building test articles, partnering with suppliers and moving what works into production. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with direct reports. This role will work closely with Design Engineering, Vehicle Assembly ME, Prototype Factory operations, Quality, Supply Chain and Production to achieve overall production ramp goals across Mach’s factories. Key Responsibilities Own the Joining DFMA guide Write, publish and maintain Mach's Joining DFMA guide. It should cover: design rules, with the reasoning and test data behind them preferred fasteners, adhesives and joining processes standard joint features and tolerance
