Job Description

Qualifications

Key Responsibilities

• Support LightWELD sustaining engineering activities for released products, daily manufacturing needs, production constraints, and product quality, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost improvements
• Lead or support troubleshooting, failure analysis, and root cause/corrective action for LightWELD manufacturing, assembly, test, supplier, field, and service issues
• Own sustaining engineering changes, including ECOs, drawing and BOM updates, configuration control, deviations, and documentation releases needed for stable and repeatable production
• Partner with production, manufacturing engineering, quality, supply chain, service, optomechanical, electrical, and software teams to improve assembly methods, test processes, yields, throughput, and product consistency
• Create, maintain, and revise SolidWorks models, drawings, fixtures, work instructions, test documentation, and engineering records in SolidWorks PDM, ensuring compliance with GD&T, ASME Y14.5, and configuration-management practices
• Support sustaining process improvements such as DFM/DFA updates, tolerance analysis, material and supplier evaluations, cost reduction, reliability improvements, and safety or regulatory updates for high-power handheld laser welding systems.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Product Engineering, or related technical discipline
• 2–4 years of relevant sustaining, manufacturing, mechanical, or product engineering experience, with hands-on involvement in assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and production support of mechanical or electromechanical systems
• Experience in sustaining, manufacturing, quality, or reliability engineering, including RCCA, CAPA, PFMEA, 8D, or similar structured problem-solving methodologies
• Proficiency with SolidWorks 3D CAD and 2D drafting, including GD&T and ASME Y14.5, with practical understanding of configuration control, released-product documentation, and manufacturability-focused design updates
• Strong analytical, hands-on problem-solving, cross-functional communication, and documentation skills, with the ability to drive issues from investigation through implementation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using SolidWorks PDM or similar systems for configuration management, revision control, ECO release, and manufacturing documentation control
• Knowledge of product manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, casting, molding, additive manufacturing, joining, finishing, assembly, and test
• Exposure to optomechanical systems, precision assemblies, power electronics, thermal management, or laser-based industrial equipment
• Experience using data, Python, Excel, or similar tools to analyze manufacturing yield, test results, field/service trends, reliability data, or corrective-action effectiveness
• Experience supporting handheld industrial tools, welding equipment, laser systems, or high-volume released products; Master’s degree in a related technical field is a plus.
