About the role: The Sr. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Engineer owns the manufacturability of magniX electric propulsion hardware as it transitions from development to rate production. This is a design role focused on reducing time, labor, scrap, and unit cost through design changes. Initial priorities include redesigning assembly interfaces that drive excessive build time and improving machinability of housings, end bells, shafts, and structural components through simplified features, optimized tolerances, and reduced setups. Long term, this role will establish DFM as a core design-review gate, define producibility standards, and partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and assembly floor. This role is suited for an experienced engineer who can independently drive impactful design improvements with minimal onboarding.
