Manufacturing Engineering Lead

Lexington Medical, Inc. is a medical device company developing and manufacturing minimally invasive surgical stapling solutions in the Boston area. With the highest standards in design engineering and smart manufacturing, our team delivers disruptive technology to healthcare providers, improving surgical outcomes for patients in a thriving $6B+ surgical stapler market.

Rooted in a talent‑dense culture, we are committed to innovation, foster continuous growth, and achieve great heights together. At Lexington Medical, Inc., you will have the opportunity to impact the lives of millions of patients worldwide and thrive in a fast‑growing Med Tech company.

Reporting to the Head of Manufacturing, you will be a technical leader in Lexington Medical’s onsite production spaces, responsible for proprietary equipment optimization, NPI, and continuous improvement projects. This role manages a small team of early career manufacturing engineers and technicians, each responsible for supporting the manufacturing line for part of the product portfolio. Typical business hours are Monday to Friday, with occasional remote availability during evenings to support second‑shift production supervisors.

This is an ideal opportunity for a high‑performing manufacturing engineer ready to step into a people‑management role while remaining deeply technical.

• Provide technical mentorship and people management to a small team of 2–4 who refine and support existing equipment, design and maintain processes, and develop fixturing. You will be responsible for the output and professional growth of your direct reports.
• Understand, debug, and alter complex proprietary equipment (designed by our in‑house automation team). Serve as a technical escalation point and perform root‑cause analysis when needed.
• Coordinate product and equipment introduction and change‑control processes on the manufacturing floor, developing systems to ensure smooth R&D‑to‑operations hand‑offs.
• Own technical excellence and systemic integrity across all product manufacturing lines. Lead and organize your team to detect and address quality or yield issues, balancing rapid‑response ‘firefighting’ with long‑term solutions for persistent problems.
• Provide clear, practical guidance to production technicians while collaborating on high‑level strategy with R&D, quality, and operations departments.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or equivalent area of study.
• 3+ years of hands‑on engineering experience supporting advanced manufacturing.
• Proven success improving production metrics through intelligent design, process implementation/augmentation, or other means.
• Ability to empower a team to act decisively and take calculated technical risks, even if you have not been a formal direct people manager.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail; strong problem‑solving skills, including root‑cause analysis and analytical thinking.
• Experience working with automated or semi‑automated fixtures, especially a working knowledge of PLCs is useful but not required.
