JOB PURPOSE:At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric motors in the world for sustainable aviation, marine, industrial, and defense applications. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric and hybrid aircraft. Our motors range in size from 30 kW to 30 MW and are 3X lighter than competitors’ systems.H3X is looking to hire a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to support production lines across all the HPDM products. . The production team is rapidly deploying new processes and improvements to meet the growing demand for the HPDM products. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required since this role will be given significant freedom and will be directly responsible for the production of a multitude of parts.RESPONSIBILITIES:REQUIREMENTS / CONCEPTWork with design engineers to establish production requirementsConceptualize new and novel approaches to solve manufacturing problemsDESIGN AND ANALYSISDesign manufacturing tools and fixtures in SolidWorksAnalyze recurring manufacturing discrepancies and implement solutionsCollaborate with design engineers on implementation of manufacturing feedbackConduct PDRs and CDRs for sub-systems for which you are responsiblePRODUCTION VALIDATION AND INTEGRATIONExecute first application and testing of new fixtures and process improvementsInterface with production operations team and assembly techniciansCreate and implement production travelers * Commission and scale manufacturing processes to meet production rate requirements
