Senior Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

The role is focused on post-design execution, manufacturing process development, assembly readiness, documentation, and production support. This is not a traditional design-focused manufacturing engineering role.

Responsibilities

• Develop and document manufacturing and assembly processes for mechanical and electromechanical systems.
• Create work instructions, manufacturing documentation, process control plans, and assembly procedures.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts from hardware receipt through deployment readiness.
• Ensure all tooling, fixtures, hardware, and manufacturing resources are identified and available before production activities begin.
• Review manufacturing readiness and proactively identify gaps, risks, or missing components required for successful builds.
• Collaborate closely with Product Engineering, Controls Engineering, Deployment Teams, and Technical Writers.
• Work with vendors, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to ensure manufacturing requirements are understood and documented.
• Support pilot builds and deployment activities by troubleshooting manufacturing issues and driving resolution.
• Drive continuous improvements related to quality, manufacturability, process efficiency, and production readiness.
• Ensure build teams have the tools, documentation, and support necessary for successful execution.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in Manufacturing Engineering, Process Engineering, Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience developing manufacturing processes, work instructions, assembly procedures, and production documentation.
• Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI), production launches, manufacturing ramp activities, or deployment readiness programs.
• Demonstrated success identifying manufacturing readiness gaps and implementing process improvements.
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering teams, suppliers, contract manufacturers, and technical writers.

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes for mechanical and electromechanical systems.
• Experience supporting production builds, pilot lines, factory floor operations, or manufacturing launch activities.
• Hands-on experience with multiple fabrication and manufacturing processes, including: Die Casting, Sheet Metal Fabrication, Welding (robotic welding experience preferred), Roll Forming, Stretch Forming.
• Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles and manufacturing constraints.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), manufacturing documentation, and assembly instructions.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to identify missing hardware, tooling, fixtures, fasteners, or assembly requirements prior to production.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
