Description
The Production Support Engineer will join our Hardware Engineering team in Indianapolis, IN.
Typical Duties
The Production Support Engineer will support the maturation of a hardware integration program and the evolution of associated production processes through development of technical work instructions and hands-on troubleshooting. Engineer will assist in process development and design workstations/cells; design fixturing, jigs, and tooling; develop work instructions, and scale operations based on program needs and evolution. Additionally, this professional may advise design engineers on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and other production-related matters. Work environment will be a hybrid between office environment and industrial manufacturing floor.
An example of tasking would be as follows:
Develop or revise process work instructions based on obstacles encountered during assembly and integration between two major systems. Determine safe mounting procedures to mate two major subsystems. Develop or reorganize assembly workstations based on scale of demand. Design and develop Tooling, Fixturing, and support structures as needed to facilitate assembly operations. Support assembly team when deviations or faults are discovered.
