Product Introduction Engineer

We are seeking a Staff New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer to support the industrialization and manufacturing readiness of complex surgical robotic equipment. This role will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to develop robust manufacturing processes, support engineering builds, and transition products from development into controlled, repeatable manufacturing operations.

The Staff NPI Engineer will independently lead assigned NPI activities, including manufacturing process development, build execution, and manufacturing readiness, while collaborating with the Principal Manufacturing Engineer on key technical decisions and manufacturing strategies.

This is a hands‑on role requiring strong mechanical and electrical engineering knowledge, independent problem‑solving, and close collaboration with R&D, Quality, Operations, and suppliers.

• Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes for complex electromechanical systems, including assembly, integration, inspection, and testing.
• Lead assigned NPI activities independently, working with the Principal Manufacturing Engineer to ensure alignment on key technical decisions and manufacturing strategies.
• Drive DFM/DFA discussions with R&D and suppliers to improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, quality, and cost.
• Support hands‑on engineering and pilot builds, including mechanical and electrical assembly, system integration, troubleshooting, and root cause resolution.
• Support design transfer activities, including manufacturing readiness assessments, process verification, validation, and documentation.
• Develop manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, assembly procedures, process specifications, PFMEAs, Control Plans, and manufacturing BOMs.
• Identify manufacturing equipment, tooling, and fixture requirements, working with internal teams and suppliers to develop and implement solutions.
• Support manufacturing readiness, including material availability, supplier readiness, tooling, equipment, and build execution.
• Identify and resolve manufacturing risks and technical challenges to support program milestones.
• Support equipment qualification, process validation, and continuous improvement initiatives as applicable.

• Technical
  
  Skills:
  
  Strong understanding of manufacturing process development, mechanical and electrical assembly, DFM/DFA, and design transfer. Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, schematics, and CAD models.
• Analytical
  
  Skills:
  
  Ability to independently troubleshoot complex electromechanical systems, analyze manufacturing challenges, identify root causes, and develop effective technical solutions.
• Communication
  
  Skills:
  
  Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to clearly communicate technical issues, manufacturing readiness, and project status across engineering teams and management.
• Teamwork:
  Ability to collaborate effectively with R&D, Quality, Operations, and suppliers while independently leading assigned NPI activities and aligning with broader technical strategies.
• Adaptability:
  Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced development environment with evolving designs, changing priorities, and emerging manufacturing requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Biomedical, or a related engineering field with a minimum of 7 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Experience in manufacturing engineering, NPI, or manufacturing process development for mechanical, electromechanical, or electro-optical products.
• Hands‑on experience with mechanical and electrical assembly, system…
