Impact In This Role

Your role as a Manufacturing Engineer will be to support and drive improvement to our critical manufacturing functions. We have two sets of customers—our builders, who order parts through us, and our manufacturing partners, who manufacture and assemble these parts—and you’ll be consistently working at the interface between the two.  At Fictiv, we believe in creating the world’s premier platform for hardware manufacturing, and you’ll be playing a critical role in making that happen.

In your role as the Manufacturing Engineer, you will be reviewing and analyzing the manufacturability and costs associated with part fabrication (including die casting, Gravity casting,Forging and other manufacturing processes requiring tooling) and mechanical assembly. In this role, you’ll be using your Mechanical Engineering background, knowledge of manufacturing processes, and experience having brought mechanical components into high volume manufacturing to determine what design changes may need to be made to our builders’ design specifications in order to meet their needs and to very accurately price out the cost of fabricating a part. Ultimately, you’ll be working daily to use your technical expertise to provide pricing to builders and to assist in the development of pricing calculators and, ultimately, automation of pricing & DFM to reduce the time to quote for our builders and reduce overhead for our manufacturing partners.

You will report to the Manufacturing Engineering Lead/Manager

What You’ll Be Doing

• Release Package Review – Analyze models, drawings, parts lists, and other data to determine scope of work, fabrication feasibility, cost to fabricate, and minimum lead time.
• Quoting – Combine your analysis with Fictiv’s software recommendations and feedback from our manufacturing partners to generate quotes for builders.
• DFM Feedback – Provides DFM feedback to builders, such as recommended design change to adapt the tooling manufacturing limitation. 
• Platform development support – support the platform development of casting tooling, such as tooling calculator, material database, DFM tools on platform.
• **Communication-**communicate with US sales to support the part/tooling design solution and quote feedback if needed.
• Program support-Lead the transition of customer programs from prototype and low-volume production (3D printing, CNC machining, soft tooling) to high-volume casting tooling, including part-level redesign, material and process selection, tolerance optimization, and tooling architecture definition to support scalable mass production.
