About Mach Industries
Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.
Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.
The Role
Mach Industries is seeking a Reliability Supplier Industrialization Engineer focused on precision machining and turbomachinery to qualify, develop, and scale suppliers that produce complex hardware to engineering, manufacturing, and system requirements. You will translate design intent into capable machining processes, supplier controls, inspection methods, and production-readiness evidence. This role spans Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing, and suppliers from early design reviews through prototype, qualification, production, and field support. The work is hands-on and requires regular engagement with machining processes, inspection data, supplier facilities, and turbomachinery hardware.
Key Responsibilities
•
Lead supplier industrialization for precision-machined components and turbomachinery parts from design release through production readiness.
•
Support commodity design reviews by identifying machining risks, tolerance risks, inspection requirements, and process-control needs.
•
Develop commodity FMEAs, supplier qualification requirements, control plans, and acceptance methods for critical hardware.
•
Assess supplier capability across machining, heat treatment, surface finishing, balancing, inspection, and special processes.
•
Establish process capability targets, first article requirements, inspection plans, and objective evidence for supplier production readiness.
•
Monitor supplier performance using quality, delivery, yield, nonconformance, and process-capability data.
•
Lead root-cause and corrective-action investigations for recurring supplier nonconformances, dimensional variation, process escapes, and hardware failures.
•
Support obsolescence, redesign, and supplier-transition activities while preserving configuration integrity and production continuity.
•
Feed supplier lessons learned into design standards, manufacturing methods, sourcing decisions, and reliability-growth activities.
•
Up to 100% travel
Required Qualifications
•
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
•
Ten or more years of experience in mechanical design, supplier industrialization, manufacturing engineering, supplier quality, and/or precision machining.
•
Experience with precision machining processes, engineering drawings, GD&T, inspection methods, and process-capability analysis.
•
Ability to evaluate supplier processes, identify technical risks, and define practical controls for complex hardware.
•
Ability to communicate clearly with suppliers and cross-functional teams while managing multiple industrialization activities.
Preferred Qualifications
•
Experience with FMEA, control plans, first article inspection, process validation, and structured root-cause and corrective-action methods.
•
Experience with turbomachinery, rotating hardware, high-speed assemblies, bladed components, or tight-tolerance fluid systems.
•
Experience with five-axis machining, CNC process development, mill-turn operations, balancing, or complex inspection systems.
•
Experience supporting prototype-to-production transitions in a startup, high-growth manufacturing, or regulated hardware environment.
