Manufacturing Engineer
Required Skills & Experience Early-Stage Prototype Collaboration & Assembly:
Partner closely with Engineering during early proof of concept builds. Ensuring initial engineering designs translate into repeatable, scalable assembly steps, as well as providing hands on build & FA support Process Flow & WI Translation:
Convert preliminary prototype build steps, engineering notes, and trial feedback into structured Process Flows and step-by-step Work Instructions Tooling, Jigs & Fixture Engineering:
Design, procure, and validate custom assembly fixtures, alignment jigs, and specialized production tooling. Perform CAD design and rapid prototyping for fixtures to ensure tight tolerances, repeatable yields, and ergonomic operator safety. DFM/DFA & Risk Mitigation:
Lead Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Assembly (DFA) reviews with R&D. Utilize PFMEA to proactively identify, quantify, and mitigate technical assembly risks before high-volume manufacturing. Process Development & Validation:
Define, optimize, and qualify technical manufacturing processes (e.g., dispensing, thermal bonding, torque sequencing). Ensure processes consistently meet target yields, cycle times, and throughput requirements. NPI Transition & CM Onboarding:
Lead the "technical hand-off" to high-volume production. Drive line bring-up, troubleshoot pilot/ramp builds, resolve yield drop issues, and onboard Tier-1 Contract Manufacturers (CMs). Technical Approvals & ECO Management:
Serve as a primary technical reviewer in the PLM/Change Management workflow; evaluate and approve Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Manufacturing Change Orders (MCOs) for production readiness.
Nice to Have Skills & Experience Technical Design:
Proficiency in CAD (Solid Works or Nx) for fixture design and assembly review. Analytical Rigor:
Command of SPC, DOE, and Root Cause Analysis (8D or 5-Whys).
Education:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering.
Experience:
2+ years in process development/NPI within high-volume or complex hardware environments.
