Manufacturing Engineer, Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul (MRO)

ABOUT THE JOB

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own system-level integration across Sentry’s core subsystems, ensuring mechanical, electrical, and thermal interfaces align and function as designed.
• Develop and refine manufacturing integration flows that decompose the Sentry tower into logical subassemblies and assembly sequences, enabling efficient and repeatable builds.
• Collaborate with Design, Electrical, and Systems Engineering to drive early Design-for-Integration (DFI) and Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) feedback into new releases.
• Implement automation-minded solutions—fixtures, digital work instructions, or modular tooling—to streamline assembly and reduce operator variability.
• Lead readiness reviews and interface control checks, resolving fit, alignment, and electrical mating issues before they reach the floor.
• Translate engineering intent into clear, executable build documentation: torque specs, cabling and harness routing, alignment procedures, and inspection points.
• Maintain configuration control for large multi-level BOMs, tracking effectivity, revision, and interchangeability across evolving hardware configurations.
• Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to validate subsystem builds, ensuring interface accuracy before system-level integration.
• Drive continuous improvement in integration sequencing, ergonomics, and tooling through hands-on observation and feedback from technicians.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years integrating complex electromechanical systems from prototype through production.
• Proven expertise in multi-subsystem integration—combining mechanical, electrical, and data interfaces into one functioning hardware product.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills across design, manufacturing, and technician teams.
• Experience creating or optimizing integration and assembly processes for large, complex systems.
• Hands-on, floor-oriented problem solver who thrives in fast-moving environments.
• Familiarity with BOM structures, configuration management, and ECO (engineering change order) processes.
• U.S. Person status due to access to export-controlled information and facilities.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience assembling, integrating, and testing sensor, radar, compute, or power systems in a defense, aerospace, or robotics environment.
• Familiarity with PLM/ERP tools such as Teamcenter or Oracle.
• Demonstrated success scaling hardware from NPI (New product Introduction) to high-volume production.
• Exposure to automated assembly, digital manufacturing tools, or fixture integration.
• Background in ruggedized or field-deployable systems requiring tight mechanical, electrical, and environmental interface control.
