We foster a collaborative culture with no silos, where everyone is encouraged to think out loud. If you are passionate about your craft and don't give up until you've found a way, you will make an ideal Builder!

As a Manufacturing Engineer, New Product Introduction, you will bridge the gap between novel part designs and production. You will focus on optimizing parts for production, enhancing manufacturing efficiency, and ensuring our facility infrastructure supports these goals. This role requires a strong technical aptitude, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset to work effectively with both engineering and production teams. You will be responsible for documenting processes, managing facility support, and reporting on performance using key metrics and KPIs.

You are a detail-oriented problem solver with a strong background in manufacturing engineering and comfortable in industrial facilities. You take pride in your work and want to increase operational efficiency anywhere you can. You thrive in cross-functional environments, effectively collaborating with both design engineering and production teams to troubleshoot issues and implement robust solutions.

This role requires a high degree of technical ownership, cross-functional collaboration, critical thinking for root cause analysis, and an ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. This position generally requires a commitment of 5 days onsite per week.
