The Manufacturing Engineer I coordinates the transition of accepted R&D designs into controlled, scalable commercial production. This hands-on role owns production-release readiness, product-data conversion, bill-of-material optimization, manufacturing process development, and engineering-change execution. Working across R&D, Quality, Production, Supply Chain, Service, and external suppliers, the engineer preserves approved design intent while establishing safe, efficient, documented, and repeatable methods for building, testing, shipping, installing, and supporting commercial products.

• Coordinate the commercial-release handoff from an accepted R&D package through final production release.
• Review handoff packages for complete and approved CAD, drawings, specifications, bills of materials (BOMs), item data, sourcing information, documented risks, and required approvals.
• Manage conversion of R&D part numbers to the appropriate commercial number series and verify associated item and master data.
• Reorganize and optimize BOMs for efficient production-floor execution while preserving approved design intent and configuration control.
• Evaluate designs for manufacturability, assembly, testability, serviceability, safety, quality, and overall production readiness.
• Support pilot builds, first production runs, stabilization activities, and timely resolution of manufacturing issues.
• Design and process engineering changes affecting commercial products, manufacturing methods, CAD, drawings, specifications, BOMs, and controlled documentation.
• Assess engineering-change impacts to form, fit, function, safety, compliance, interchangeability, sourcing, inventory, work in process, validation, and implementation timing.
• Create initial manufacturing, process-flow, assembly, and shipping processes.
• Lead the development and implementation of manufacturing fixtures, equipment, tooling, and shipping solutions.
• Write and execute manufacturing work instructions, manufacturing-flow layouts, shipping instructions, and other controlled documents as required.
• Develop manufacturing processes, fixtures, and measurement methods that meet tolerance requirements and support manufacturing scale-up.
• Work with and manage external suppliers, conduct design-for-manufacturability reviews, and provide onsite installation support as needed.
• Partner with technical writers to document products, instructions, and engineering-change notice forms.
• Interface with cross-functional departments to ensure processes and designs are compatible with the manufacturing environment, launch strategy, and business objectives.
• Partner with Quality, R&D, Production, Supply Chain, Service, and other stakeholders to develop manufacturing, shipping, installation, and related processes.
• Demonstrated experience releasing complex electromechanical or industrial automation products into controlled production environments required.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD, engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, specifications, and configuration-controlled design data required;
  Solid Works experience preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of BOM structures, part-number and item-master governance, engineering change orders/notices, revision control, and product lifecycle management or ERP systems required.
• Experience performing DFM/DFA reviews and evaluating testability, serviceability, safety, quality, sourcing,…
