Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Product Launch & Scalability | Manufacturing

We are seeking a high-impact Senior Manufacturing Engineer to help shape the future of electric aircraft manufacturing by driving strategic process innovations to enable scalable, efficient, and cost-effective production. This role will take a data-driven, systems-level approach to modeling manufacturing workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and developing step-change improvements in automation, cycle time, and labor efficiency.

As a key contributor to our long-term production strategy, this engineer will work across manufacturing, supply chain, engineering, and quality to develop and implement advanced tooling, automation strategies, and vertical integration solutions. Their work will ensure that production processes evolve to meet future demand, supporting FAA Part 21 conformity and Part 23 certification requirements as we streamline and scale our production.

This role is an opportunity to be at the forefront of electric aircraft production, influencing how next-generation aerospace manufacturing is built from the ground up.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation

• Model and analyze production workflows to identify constraints and design scalable solutions.
• Develop and implement long-term strategies to improve cycle time, labor efficiency, and cost.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to align engineering, operations, and supply chain teams on strategic objectives.
• Drive implementation of advanced manufacturing tooling and technologies, including robotics, automation, and digital production systems.
• Optimize material flow, supply chain logistics, and kitting to reduce waste and improve throughput.
• Evaluate vertical integration vs. outsourcing for maximum efficiency.
• Partner with design and NPI teams to ensure products are engineered for manufacturability (DFM).
• Optimize inspection, quality, and test processes while maintaining regulatory compliance.
• Establish data-driven KPIs and predictive models to guide production scalability efforts.
• Ensure all manufacturing improvements support FAA Part 21 production requirements and Part 23 certification.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to align teams on operational improvements.
