Manufacturing Engineer / NPI (New Product Introduction) for Vacuum Systems, Vacuum Robots & Atmospheric Systems

Job Description Provides senior Manufacturing Engineering technical leadership for highly complex, high-risk, or strategically important NPI programs. Defines manufacturing strategies early in product development and leads manufacturing process, technology, tooling, production-readiness, and risk-management activities through product maturation and transition to sustaining Operations. Influences product architecture and major engineering decisions based on manufacturability, integration, quality, serviceability, scalability, cost, and production risk. Serves as a senior Manufacturing Engineering technical authority and drives engineering standards, best practices, and manufacturing capability across NPI programs.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
• Lead Manufacturing Engineering strategy for complex and strategically important NPI programs.
• Establish manufacturing concepts and strategies during early product development.
• Lead complex DFM/DFA activities and influence product architecture and significant engineering decisions.
• Define manufacturing technology, tooling, fixtures, equipment, automation, facility, and infrastructure requirements.
• Develop solutions where established manufacturing processes or methods may not exist.
• Lead development and qualification of critical manufacturing processes and technologies.
• Establish manufacturing-readiness strategies, criteria, and technical risk assessments.
• Provide senior technical leadership during critical NPI build events.
• Lead resolution of highly complex, multidisciplinary manufacturing problems.
• Identify systemic manufacturing risks across assemblies, products, or programs and establish mitigation strategies.
• Lead technical reviews and communicate major manufacturing risks, alternatives, and recommendations to engineering and program leadership.
• Drive manufacturing process maturation from early product development through production readiness.
• Lead manufacturing aspects of major product transfers.
• Establish and improve NPI manufacturing engineering standards, methodologies, DFM/DFA guidelines, and best practices.
• Ensure lessons learned are deployed across products and programs.
• Mentor Manufacturing Engineers and develop broader organizational technical capability.
• Evaluate and introduce new manufacturing technologies, methods, equipment, and automation where appropriate.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
• Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant engineering or technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and substantial relevant technical experience.
• Minimum of 9 years of progressive manufacturing engineering experience, including extensive experience with NPI, complex product development, or advanced manufacturing.
• Demonstrated success providing Manufacturing Engineering technical leadership for multiple complex NPI programs or major product introductions.
• Proven ability to establish manufacturing strategy early in product development and mature solutions through production readiness.
• Advanced DFM/DFA expertise with demonstrated ability to…
