Independently owns Manufacturing Engineering activities for assigned NPI products, subsystems, or significant manufacturing scope from product development through Beta, pilot production, and production transition.

Develops and matures manufacturing processes, assembly strategies, tooling and fixtures, manufacturing documentation, and build-readiness deliverables. Partners with Design Engineering and cross-functional organizations to improve manufacturability, resolve technical issues, reduce manufacturing risk, and achieve successful NPI build execution.

• Independently own Manufacturing Engineering activities for assigned NPI products, subsystems, or significant manufacturing scope.
• Develop manufacturing process flows, assembly sequences, work instructions, workstation concepts, and process documentation.
• Evaluate product designs and drive DFM/DFA recommendations within assigned scope.
• Define tooling, fixture, equipment, manufacturing infrastructure, and workstation requirements.
• Develop and qualify tooling and fixtures.
• Own assigned manufacturing deliverables for NPI build-readiness reviews.
• Provide hands-on engineering support and technical direction during prototype, Alpha, Beta, and pilot builds.
• Independently troubleshoot moderately complex manufacturing issues.
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions within assigned scope.
• Identify manufacturing risks and develop mitigation and recovery actions.
• Develop and mature manufacturing BOM/routing inputs, labor content, process times, and process controls.
• Analyze defects, rework, cycle time, yield, and other manufacturing performance indicators.
• Evaluate manufacturing impacts of engineering and configuration changes.
• Drive build lessons learned and verify incorporation into subsequent builds.
• Support production transfer and verify manufacturing readiness for sustaining Operations.
• Coordinate activities across Design Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and other supporting functions.

Works under general supervision while independently owning significant Manufacturing Engineering scope. Applies comprehensive practical knowledge to develop manufacturing solutions and resolve moderately complex to complex problems. Exercises judgment in selecting manufacturing methods and approaches and proactively identifies and mitigates manufacturing risks.
