Manufacturing Engineer

We are seeking three Manufacturing Engineers to join our team. In this role, you will work in a prototype-to-early-production environment, collaborating directly with mechanical, electrical, and software teams on developing hardware. This position requires comfort with ambiguity, incomplete drawings, and iterative design changes.

Responsibilities

• Prototype Assembly & Build Execution — Perform hands-on assembly, integration, and testing of complex electromechanical sub-assemblies and full systems in a prototype/low-volume production environment.
• Process Development — Develop, document, and refine manufacturing processes, work instructions, and build procedures for new product introductions.
• Fixturing & Tooling — Design and specify assembly fixtures, jigs, and tooling to support repeatable, efficient builds.
• Issue Resolution — Lead root-cause analysis on build quality escapes and drive corrective actions with cross-functional engineering teams.
• Build Readiness — Manage material kitting, station setup, and build-sequence planning for upcoming prototype batches.
• Documentation — Maintain accurate as-built records, redlines, and revision control of assembly documentation.
• ESD & Clean Room Compliance — Adhere to and enforce ESD-safe handling protocols and clean/controlled environment procedures throughout the build process.
• Continuous Improvement — Identify and implement cycle time reductions, ergonomic improvements, and quality enhancements on the production floor.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field (Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent).
• 3–5 years of hands-on manufacturing engineering experience.
• Direct experience with electromechanical assemblies (motors, gearboxes, actuators, sensors, wiring harnesses).
• Working knowledge of torque specifications, torque-critical fastening, and calibrated tool usage.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings (GD&T).
• Familiarity with ESD-safe practices and clean room/controlled manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrated experience in a prototype or new product introduction (NPI) environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• 8 years of experience in electromechanical assemblies and prototype environments.
• Experience with torque-critical fastening, precision alignment, and calibration procedures.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent CAD software for fixture design and build-sequence visualization.
• Knowledge of electronics, PCB handling, and connector/harness integration.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles, statistical process control, and IPC standards.
• Prior experience supporting builds in robotics, aerospace, defense, medical device, or similar precision industries.
