Manufacturing Engineer II-Senior, Assembly & Integration

• Own manufacturing process development for major reactor assemblies and subsystems from engineering release through build, inspection, test, and final integration. • Develop detailed assembly and manufacturing process flows, including shop floor layouts. • Partner closely with mechanical, electrical, nuclear, systems, materials, quality, and test engineers to ensure designs are manufacturable, inspectable, and testable. • Develop and mature tooling, fixtures, handling equipment, and specialized manufacturing equipment required to build reactor hardware. • Establish robust processes for first-of-a-kind hardware, balancing immediate prototype needs with the long-term requirements of a scalable production system. • Work directly with manufacturing technicians and operators on the floor to troubleshoot build issues, improve processes, and incorporate lessons learned. • Develop and maintain manufacturing bills of material (mBOMs), process plans, and configuration-controlled manufacturing documentation. • Participate in manufacturing readiness reviews, design reviews, production readiness reviews, and hardware build reviews. • Mentor junior and mid-level manufacturing engineers and help establish a culture of technical rigor, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Basic Qualifications: • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Aerospace, Nuclear, or a related engineering discipline. • 2+ years of experience developing and implementing manufacturing processes for complex hardware. • Demonstrated experience taking hardware from engineering design through prototype, development, qualification, and production. • Extensive experience creating manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process specifications, assembly procedures, inspection plans, and test procedures. • Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, engineering drawings, and configuration management. • Experience working directly with technicians, machinists, fabricators, inspectors, and production personnel. • Proven ability to troubleshoot manufacturing problems on the floor and drive issues through root cause, corrective action, and process improvement. • Strong understanding of DFM/DFA principles and the ability to effectively influence design decisions. • Experience developing or implementing manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and specialized equipment. • Ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, test, and operations organizations. • Strong technical communication skills and the ability to clearly document complex processes. • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, highly technical, and ambiguous environment, while maintaining exceptional attention to detail. • Demonstrated ownership of large, technically complex projects with significant cross-functional impact.

Preferred Skills & Experience: • 5+ years of experience developing and implementing manufacturing processes for complex hardware. • Experience with aerospace or nuclear reactor components, pressure vessels, primary/secondary systems, fuel systems, thermal systems, or reactor instrumentation and controls.
