About the Role

We're hiring a Manufacturing Engineer to help build the process and tooling behind how our autonomous food delivery platform gets made. You'll work hands-on to bring up our first high-volume drone assembly line—applying DFA and PFMEA to new designs, building out layout and workstations, and specifying the tooling and fixtures that turn a prototype into a repeatable build. You'll get in at the ground floor with the chance to shape how the next generation of food delivery vehicles gets built.

Responsibilities

Be our first manufacturing engineer for DoorDash Air's first mass-production drone assembly line — from pilot build through full-rate production
Apply Design for Assembly (DFA) principles in partnership with hardware and electrical engineering to make sure new drone platforms are optimized for manufacturability, cost, and quality before they hit the line
Own Process FMEA (PFMEA) development, proactively identifying and mitigating failure modes in assembly, test, and inspection before they hit yield or reliability
Design and iterate on factory/line layout, workstations, and material flow to support a scalable, efficient production system
Specify, source and/or design, and qualify assembly tooling, fixtures, and jigs, working directly with equipment vendors
Partner cross-functionally with design, supply chain, internal production, and CMs to troubleshoot build issues and drive continuous improvement
Create the manufacturing processes, Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM), work instructions, and standards that scale as DoorDash Air ramps production volume

Requirements

You have a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering field
You have 5+ years of manufacturing/mechanical engineering experience, ideally in high-volume electromechanical, aerospace, robotics, or consumer hardware production
Hands-on experience applying Design for Assembly (DFA) / Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles
Experience authoring and driving Process FMEA (PFMEA) for new product introduction and ongoing production
Experience with factory/line layout design, optimizing workstations for throughput, ergonomics, and quality
Experience specifying, designing, and/or sourcing assembly tooling, fixtures, and jigs
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment — building process and infrastructure from scratch
Strong cross-functional collaboration across engineering, supply chain, and production
Familiarity with aerospace structures and electronic systems integration (composites, electro-mechanical sub-assemblies, PCBAs)
Able to travel up to 20% of the time to support CM and supplier evaluations/support
