A defense-technology company building mission-ready sensor and edge hardware, where none of it reaches the field without a production line that works.
As Manufacturing Engineer, you'll own that line — the processes, fixtures, and quality systems that turn engineering designs into hardware that ships. You'll be the person production stops for when something breaks, and the person design comes to when a drawing doesn't survive contact with the assembly bench. This is a build-it-yourself role in a company small enough that your decisions on the floor directly affect whether the next delivery is hit.
