About Vulcan Elements
Vulcan Elements is manufacturing American rare-earth permanent magnets for a secure, resilient future. With a focus on national security and economic resiliency, we serve critical industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive powering a high-technology future. Vulcan Elements is building a team of ambitious professionals committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence, and Transparency.
The Role
As a Staff Manufacturing Engineer, you will contribute to the full lifecycle of a massive 1 million square foot manufacturing facility expansion—from design and equipment specification through installation, commissioning, production startup, and scale-up to full capacity. You will be responsible for a process step, translating pilot-line processes into full-scale, stable, and repeatable production systems. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role requiring deep technical expertise and leadership.
Core Expectations & Responsibilities
Critical Priority — Equipment & Vendor Selection: Lead the evaluation, quote comparison, and selection of advanced manufacturing technologies and vendors. You will own the technical and financial side-by-side comparisons to ensure selected machinery meets our aggressive scaling and quality goals.
End-to-End Process Ownership: Own equipment design/requirements, vendor performance and schedule, commissioning activities, process development, and production qualification for a major heavy production process (alloy production, casting, jet milling, powder production, pressing, and sintering operations).
Process Optimization: Develop and optimize manufacturing processes to improve throughput, quality, and equipment reliability. Monitor OEE results and station cycle times to drive yield and capacity improvements.
Project Management: Manage technical schedules, budgets, and deliverables aligned with company milestones and customer commitments.
Hands-on Startup Support: Provide hands-on support during production startup, helping stabilize processes and eliminate early bottlenecks.
Future Innovation: Develop and innovate new processes and equipment strategies (collaborating with R&D) to implement in future production lines, pushing Vulcan to achieve best-in-class magnet manufacturing.
EHS & Quality Compliance: Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards across all process activities.
Travel: This position will require some interaction and travel to support equipment development reviews and Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) as needed (estimated at <25% travel).
You will also be responsible for developing, reviewing, or managing the following deliverables:
Responsibilities and tasks outlined are not exhaustive and may change as determined by the needs of the business.
Qualifications
Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or a related technical discipline with 7+ years of experience or a Master’s degree with 5+ years of experience.
CAD Proficiency: Strong, hands-on experience creating, modifying, and validating complex equipment assemblies in CAD.
Equipment Design & Commissioning: A proven track record in heavy custom equipment design, vendor management, and full-cycle commissioning for thermal or raw material processing.
Documentation Mastery: Expert-level experience authoring and developing standard manufacturing documents (PFMEA, Control Plans, Work Instructions, and Process Flows).
Technical Literacy: Ability to read, interpret, and create electrical schematics and pneumatic diagrams, including performing core engineering calculations (electrical/pneumatic).
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience specifically in heavy industrial manufacturing, metallurgy, foundry operations, or chemical processing.
Experience handling reactive powders or managing high-temperature vacuum furnace environments.
Proficiency with advanced simulation software for workflow and line balancing.
Familiarity with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) implementation and transaction mapping.
Manufacturing rare earth magnets for a secure, resilient future.
