What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assembly Manufacturing Engineer position at H3X Technologies?
JOB PURPOSE:
At H3X, we are building the most advanced electric motors in the world for sustainable aviation, marine, industrial, and defense applications. At 12 kW/kg continuous, the HPDM family of integrated motor drives is a step change in electric propulsion technology and removes one of the main barriers blocking widespread proliferation of electric and hybrid aircraft. Our motors range in size from 30 kW to 30 MW and are 3X lighter than competitors’ systems.
About the Role: H3X is looking to hire a Manufacturing Engineer to support production lines across all the HPDM products. The production team is rapidly deploying new processes and improvements to meet the growing demand for the HPDM products. A high degree of self-motivation and responsibility is required since this role will be given significant freedom and will be directly responsible for the production of a multitude of parts.
