About the role
We’re a fast growing manufacturing startup (30%+ MoM growth) working with top aerospace and defense teams, and we’re hiring an Operations Engineer to scale how we go from RFQs to orders.
In a typical day, you might:
- Read and interpret 2D drawings and CAD to understand customer requirements
- Identify manufacturing risks before parts ever get to a supplier
- Put out a manufacturing fire (sometimes literally)
- Run supplier operations from RFQ to quote to production management to delivery
- Help turn human engineering judgment (aka all of the above) into reliable, automated software systems
What you’ll work on
You’ll operate across engineering, operations, and product to help us build and refine our internal processes and tools. You’ll have to wear hardware engineering, software engineering, and supply chain hats as needed.
Core Responsibilities
- Evaluate parts for manufacturability through Vendra’s supplier network
- Read and interpret 2D drawings and 3D CAD to understand customer requirements (GD&T, material, finish, setup, etc.)
- Flag manufacturing risks early and work with customers and suppliers to find alternate paths
- Supplier matching and qualification
- Match customer requirements to suppliers in the Vendra network based on capabilities, real-time capacity, and past experience
- Build structure around capturing supplier experience (past performance, on-time-delivery, etc.) and feed it into our matching systems
- Operations execution
