Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer serves as the senior technical authority for assembly process and equipment design within the Industrialization team. This position designs the assembly lines, fixtures, and material flow systems that convert KARNO prototype and development builds into repeatable, scalable production operations — and then systematically removes waste, labor content, and variation from those operations.

Working closely with industrialization leadership, design engineering, production, quality, and supply chain, the Senior Manufacturing Engineer owns the most complex assembly value streams end to end: line and station design, fixture and tooling design, material presentation and handling, process qualification, and continuous waste reduction. This position sets the technical standard for how assembly processes are designed and documented at customer, provides mentorship and design review for other manufacturing engineers, and is accountable for measurable improvement in cycle time, first-pass yield, labor content, and ergonomics across the assembly areas.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
