About the position
We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods - and eventually people - move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality. As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer at Reliable Robotics, you will be a part of the Production team and report to the Manufacturing Engineering Manager. You'll play a critical role in developing and continuously improving all aspects of our manufacturing, integration, and supply chain processes to meet design and business requirements, including safety, quality, cost, and on-time delivery. This is a small but growing team of highly motivated people who are passionate about delivering quality products and services on time, with unquestionable value. You will be responsible for designing the build and integration process for mechanical, electromechanical, and/or electrical/avionics products, conducting design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) reviews, and developing processes and infrastructure to help the business scale. The projects you work on will set the foundation for how the business operates for years to come. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a safety-critical environment that takes automated aviation systems from prototype to production in a hands-on environment.
Responsibilities
- Responsible for building, integrating, testing, diagnostics, inspecting, and maintaining Reliable designed mechanical, electromechanical, and/or electrical/avionics assemblies, harnessing, interconnects, and other commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products
