Senior Mechanical Engineer - DOE

Job Title:

Senior Mechanical Engineer - DOE / Design Change

Job Description

This role supports a high-priority engineering initiative focused on increasing speed, detail, and execution quality within a fast-moving manufacturing environment. The Senior Engineering Support Engineer drives design and process change execution by supporting Design of Experiments (DOE), capturing detailed technical information, and ensuring that data is organized and fed back into the engineering review process. Operating at a Senior level, this position provides technical oversight, data-driven analysis, and structured engineering support across design and process change activities, ensuring deliverables meet OEM-level documentation standards.

Responsibilities

* Execute engineering support activities related to design and process changes within a structured change management framework.

* Support and help manage the execution of Design of Experiments (DOE) while adhering to defined procedures and timelines.

* Review customer designs to evaluate manufacturability, process capability, and technical risk, and communicate findings clearly.

* Collect, organize, and analyze engineering data to support informed design and process decisions.

* Capture findings in a highly detailed and structured format, documenting discrepancies, observations, and technical outcomes.

* Use tools such as Excel, CPK data, Solid Works, and internal reporting tools to support data analysis and reporting.

* Ensure engineering outputs meet high-detail, OEM-style documentation standards for design and process changes.

* Work closely with engineering and operations teams to provide clear, concise, and actionable technical feedback.

* Support multiple deliverables tied to each DOE concept and ensure data is complete, accurate, and usable for engineering review.

* Contribute to improved visibility into design and process capability gaps by providing structured, data-driven feedback.

* Produce clear engineering documentation tied to process and design changes that supports downstream implementation and validation.

Essential Skills

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

* Strong engineering background in manufacturing, process improvement, product validation, or design support.

* Experience with data analysis and process capability, including the use of Excel and CPK data.

* Proficiency in Solid Works for reviewing and supporting mechanical designs.

* Experience reading and reviewing engineering drawings and customer designs.

* Demonstrated ability to create clear, detailed technical documentation for engineering changes.

* Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills with a high level of detail orientation.

* Ability to work effectively within a structured engineering and change management environment.

* Comfort working in a fast-moving manufacturing setting with multiple concurrent engineering deliverables.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

* Experience executing or supporting Design of Experiments (DOE).

* Exposure to regulated environments such as medical device, highly controlled manufacturing, or validation-heavy industries.

* Familiarity with IQ/OQ/PQ and CFR-style methodologies.

* Experience with reporting and analytics tools such as Tableau or similar platforms.

* Strong communication skills to convey technical findings to cross-functional teams.

* Ability to organize complex datasets and present insights in a clear, structured manner.

Work Environment

The role operates within a rapid-growth contract manufacturing environment that emphasizes speed, precision, and structured engineering discipline. You will collaborate closely with engineering and operations teams in a fast-moving production setting, working within a defined change management framework that relies heavily on data-driven decision-making. Daily work involves extensive use of tools such as Excel, CPK data analysis, Solid Works, and modern reporting platforms like Tableau or similar systems to support design and process changes.

The environment values OEM-level documentation standards, detailed technical communication, and rigorous execution of Design of Experiments (DOE) and validation activities. Work hours typically align with standard business operations, with flexibility required to support multiple projects and deadlines in a dynamic manufacturing context. The culture encourages continuous improvement, structured problem-solving, and clear, professional communication across cross-functional teams.
