We are looking for a Staff Integration Manufacturing Engineer to join our team. The goal of a Staff Integration Manufacturing Engineer at Wisk is to ensure that manufacturing processes, equipment, and definition are developed and sufficient to meet certification requirements for the FAA and AS9100 for the assembly of our Vehicle. You will be part of the Manufacturing Engineering team that provides Design for Manufacturability input to design, as well as supports production system development and shop floor activities, from prototyping through high rate production. Additionally, you will be integral to the development of foundational processes and documents for Manufacturing Engineering at Wisk.

Why we need you:

• We are looking for a Staff Integration Manufacturing Engineer to join our team. The goal of the Staff Integration Manufacturing Engineer at Wisk is to build the first fully autonomous all-electric aircraft that performs and operates safely in an urban air-mobility environment. In support of this goal, you will be part of the Manufacturing Engineering team that assesses designs for manufacturability and assemblability; identifies opportunities for early efficiencies and ways to leverage equipment or automation; and works cross functionally to prototype and develop processes for high rate manufacturing. Your goal is to make sure that designs are manufacturable and build the factory of the future. 
• The successful candidate is a knowledgeable and experienced technical contributor who has direct hands-on experience developing and building type certified aircraft or working in regulated environments, from initial concept through flight testing and certification, with the technical breadth necessary to interface with all engineering functions such as Quality, Hardware design, Test, and Production teams. This person also has experience working with vehicle integration which includes electric propulsion systems, electromechanical assemblies, cables/harnesses, and composite structures. In this role, the candidate must be proactive, forward thinking, and self-motivated with the ability to effectively communicate information and ideas with a cross functional and diverse team. 

What you will do:

• Own manufacturing projects from early design phases through introduction to production lines.
• Support manufacturing activities, both internal to Wisk and externally at vendors and potential technical partners.
• Support vehicle integration through aircraft final assembly, using Wisk determined CAD and PLM tools
• Work closely with a cross functional project team to develop manufacturing processes, tooling and equipment, procedures, quality control points, inspection plans, etc. 
• Improve manufacturing processes by studying product requirements; researching, designing, modifying, and testing manufacturing methods and equipment
• Help define and develop process documents, and work instructions to define the manufacturing process and best practices to establish foundation for the Manufacturing system at Wisk
• Learn about all the vehicle subsystems and how they integrate with the overall aircraft 
• Have an understanding of aerospace wire harnessing and understanding of FAA requirements
• Support builds of the vehicle assembly from prototype through at rate production. 
• Coordinate and collaborate closely with the Systems Test function to support testing of the propulsion system and determine how best to incorporate testing into at-rate production

What you have done:

• B.S. in a relevant engineering discipline with at least 8 years of experience working with large integrated systems such as integrated avionics system, electrical system, battery management systems, propulsion systems or fly-by-wire systems
• You have exposure to high-rate production environments and have experience working with integrating aircraft systems.
• Experience with Wire harnessing or aircraft electrical systems
• You have hands-on experience integrating complex, safety-critical systems and solving associated problems.
• Familiar with drafting standards/GD&T and the ability to interpret, correct, and create engineering drawings
• Proficient with CAD software (NX preferred)
• Experience with creating Bill of Materials, Bill of Processes, and authoring work instructions.
• Experience working with Design Engineering on Design for Manufa
