Opportunity To Unlock Your Creativity Think of all the times you were held back from trying new ideas because you were boxed in by bureaucratic legacy processes or old school tactics. Having a growth mindset is deeply ingrained into our company culture since day 1 so Fictiv is an environment where you have the creative liberty and support of the team to try big bold ideas to achieve our sales and customer goals.
Opportunity To Grow Your Career At Fictiv, you'll be surrounded by supportive teammates who will push you to be your best through their curiosity and passion.
Impact In This Role
Your role as a Manufacturing Engineer will be to support and drive improvement to our critical manufacturing functions. We have two sets of customers—our builders, who order parts through us, and our manufacturing partners, who manufacture and assemble these parts—and you’ll be consistently working at the interface between the two. At Fictiv, we believe in creating the world’s premier platform for hardware manufacturing, and you’ll be playing a critical role in making that happen.
In your role as the Manufacturing Engineer, you will be reviewing and analysing the manufacturability and costs associated with fabrication (including CNC machining, 3D printing, and other manufacturing processes) submitted by our builders. In this role, you’ll also be using your Mechanical Engineering background and knowledge of manufacturing processes in order to determine what design changes may need to be made to our builders’ design specifications in order to meet their needs. By developing highly competitive proposals and quotations that meet the requirements called out by our customers, you will be assisting in bringing products to market faster in a wide range of industries (and helping to accelerate Fictiv’s growth).
What You’ll Be Doing
- Release Package Review – Analyze models, drawings, parts lists, and other data to determine scope of work, feasibility for manufacturing, manufacturing requirements, and minimum lead time.
- Quoting – Combine your analysis with Fictiv’s software recommendations to generate quotes for builders, or collaborate with external suppliers to determine necessary quoting parameters.
- Calculator Generation – Use your fabrication expertise and understanding of process cost drivers to develop cost calculators that allow for Fictiv to bring quoting in-house for new service offerings.
- DFx Feedback – Provides DFx feedback to builders, such as recommended design alterations to improve manufacturability, reduce cost of part fabrication, or improve ease of assembly.
- Automation Feedback – Provide feedback to the quoting software team to improve accuracy of automated quoting of our manufacturing services.
- Drawing Generation – Generation of high-quality 2D drawings per ANSI/ASME Y14.5 standards.
