Job Description

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to drive process development, build execution, and the transition to scalable manufacturing for complex mechanical and electromechanical assemblies. This is a critical, cross-functional role that collaborates internally with engineering, supply chain, and operations teams, as well as externally with suppliers, partners, and customers.

How You Will Make an Impact as a Manufacturing Engineer:

• Develop and maintain essential manufacturing documentation including Bills of Materials (BOMs), line layouts, assembly instructions, fixtures, pFMEAs, and production control methods.
• Plan, lead, and execute pre-production builds with a long-term vision for scalable, high-volume production.
• Collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to ensure products are robust, reliable, and ready for manufacturing.
• Consult with suppliers to define product specifications, and partner with the supply chain team to procure required equipment, materials, and parts.
• Interface with manufacturing partners throughout the design transfer process to ensure on-time delivery of high-quality products that meet all performance criteria.

Skills you will need to be successful in this role:

• B.S. in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering with 2–5 years of experience, or A.S. degree with 3–6 years of experience. Strong candidates with less experience may be considered.
• Experience with electromechanical assembly and manufacturing process development.
• Working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or green manufacturing principles is a plus.
• Proficiency in CAD software; SolidWorks preferred.
• Familiarity with ERP systems is a plus.
• Experience in medical device manufacturing is highly desirable.
• Proven ability to set up manufacturing assembly lines with an eye toward scalability and efficiency.
• Strong understanding of component forming processes, assembly operations, production line optimization, and design for manufacturability.
• Demonstrated passion for solving complex engineering problems and a curiosity for understanding how things work.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and time management skills.
