About Mach Industries Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition. 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 Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Composites, you'll be Mach's go-to expert on designing composite structures for high-rate production. You'll review designs at the part, assembly and system level from concept through production release. You'll also push the field forward through research and development (R&D) on new materials, hardware and processes. You'll design experiments, build test articles, partner with suppliers and move what works into production. Examples include snap-cure resins, net-shape automated preforming, and closed-loop process control that cut cycle time and scrap. Key Responsibilities Own the Composites DFMA guide Write, publish and maintain Mach's Composites DFMA guide for high-rate production: design rules for each high-rate process, with reasoning and data behind them preferred materials, processes and tooling approaches by part type and volume standard features and the tolerances each process can hold worked examples and review checklists Write design rules for LCM (RTM, HP-RTM, C-RTM, wet compression molding): preform design: drapability, fiber shear limits, binder, and fiber volume control gate, vent and flow-path design, checked with draping and mold-filling simulation wall thickness and transitions, radii,
