Sr. Manufacturing And Tooling Engineer

As a Sr. Manufacturing and Tooling Engineer at Carbon Robotics, you will establish production processes for our autonomous diesel-electric platform. You will immediately bring your experience in heavy equipment manufacturing to influence vehicle design to maximize manufacturability, design assembly workflows, develop production tooling, and optimize our vehicle production line. As part of a growing team, you'll help build our manufacturing capabilities from pilot production through volume ramp.

What you'll do:

• Develop manufacturing and assembly workflows and processes for final assembly of diesel-electric autonomous vehicles including primary structure, steering and suspension, control modules, engine/generator, and traction motor integration.
• Develop subassembly station architecture and work with component and system design engineers to ensure product structure alignment.
• Provide structured feedback to component and system designers during the earliest stages of the design process to maximize the manufacturability of the vehicle.
• Design tooling and fixtures for moving and integrating heavy components (diesel engines, generators, cast axle housings) including using precision sensor mounting systems.
• Define appropriate safety procedures, including for high-voltage safety/wetted fuel systems/exhaust/etc, for the manufacturing and assembly process of the vehicle.
• Develop detailed initial work instructions by collaborating extensively with component/system design engineers and the manufacturing team.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities for Success:

• 8-15 years experience in heavy equipment, automotive, or hybrid vehicle manufacturing with at least 2-5 years in a lead/architect/focal role.
• Expertise in large, heavy vehicle manufacturing and assembly. It is highly desired that some of this experience be with vehicles with high voltage distributed power systems.
• Experience in designing and building/procuring jigs and tooling for vehicle primary structure and subsystem installation.
• Experience with high precision and robot assisted integration.
• Past experience developing right-sized safety procedures and incorporating user safety/ergonomics into assembly processes and tooling.
• Highly desired to have past experience working within and helping to implement IATF 16949:2016
• Willingness to travel ~25% of the time to support products in the production & field environments with a demonstrated ability to work directly with internal and external stakeholders/customers
• BS+ in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering with automotive/heavy equipment focus
