ABOUT MACH INDUSTRIES Founded in 2022, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 220 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition. Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security. THE ROLE As a Build Reliability Engineer at Mach Industries, you will own quality and reliability for one or more of our aircraft systems. You’ll partner closely with Build Engineers (on prototypes and first articles), Manufacturing Engineers (on production ramp), and Design Engineers to ensure reliable hardware from NPI through flight testing and scale. This hands-on role blends process development, failure investigation, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver high-reliability autonomous defense platforms at speed.   KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Develop manufacturing, integration, assembly, welding, NDE, cleanliness, and checkouts processes from the ground up. - Replicate processes and enforce consistency across different work centers. - Partner closely with design teams to optimize design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and ensure requirements are fully met. - Aggressively refine requirements and manufacturing processes where design intent conflicts with production rate or scalability. - Investigate production, test, and field issues; lead root cause analysis and implement corrective/preventive actions to improve designs and processes. - Develop, implement, and validate manufacturing/inspection processes, tooling support, and Lean quality controls. - Create training for production and inspection processes. - Conduct build quality reviews, enforce standards, and collaborate on continuous improvement initiatives. - Support supplier quality and incoming inspection to ensure component reliability. - Own QMS maturation toward AS9100/ISO 9001 certification, including SOPs, PFMEAs, control plans, audits, documentation, metrics, and traceability. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, manufacturing, materials, or related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience). - 1+ years of experience in manufacturing, quality, reliability, or design engineering roles (internship and strong project/team experience qualifies). - Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and inspection methods. - Exceptional communication and collaboration skills in a fast-paced environment. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Experience in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability manufacturing environments. - Experience with avionics, jet engines, SRMs (solid-state rocket motors), or composites. - Background in process documentation, root cause analysis (e.g., 8D, fishbone), and quality systems. - Knowledge of AS9100/ISO 9001, Lean/Six Sigma, PFMEA/control plans, or precision inspection methods (vision/laser system, CMM, etc.). - Proficiency in CAD (NX, SolidWorks, etc.) and data analysis tools (SPC, Minitab, etc.).
