Principal Mechanical Producibility Engineer

RTX RTX · Aerospace · tucson, AZ +1 · Engineering

This role focuses on improving the manufacturability and cost-effectiveness of mechanical designs for defense programs. It involves working with design teams, performing producibility assessments, leading Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) engagements, and managing cost reduction initiatives. The role requires experience with various manufacturing processes and tolerance analysis, and the ability to obtain a security clearance.

What you'd actually do

  1. Work with the hardware design team to influence design producibility.
  2. Perform producibility assessments and lead Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA) engagements to drive cost out of the design.
  3. Leverage CAD tools such as DFM-Pro to analyze and optimize designs.
  4. Track DFMA engagements completed by the discipline, and review for completeness and applicability.
  5. Manage product cost reduction initiatives towards a product cost target.
