Manufacturing Engineer, Senior - North

Exceptional People. Hard Problems. Meaningful Careers. Big Impact.

Nowhere else can you touch as many life-changing medical technologies. At Forj Medical, we work side by side with more than 100 medical device companies from startups to global giants to bring life-enhancing technologies to market. Working with us means solving hard problems with extraordinary people in a collaborative work environment. Join us.

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer owns sustaining engineering and day-to-day manufacturing support for the Forj product lines where the higher-volume production runs are supported. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role for someone who goes deep rather than wide: instead of spreading across many programs, you'll take ownership of a focused set of processes and drive them from good to great — for example, moving a line from a 95% yield to 98–99%.

Beyond the technical work, this is a senior role with a real people-mentorship component. You'll be expected to mentor and guide other engineers on the team, represent our Manufacturing group in our daily tier meetings and production structure, and — as the group grows — have the opportunity to work across other product groups.

• Own sustaining engineering for an assigned set of product lines, with a focus on depth over breadth — driving a smaller number of processes to significantly higher yield and stability rather than lightly touching many.
• Lead root cause investigation, troubleshooting, and corrective action for recurring production and test issues.
• Support and troubleshoot electronic test systems and test software across multiple test platforms and programs (a basic working knowledge of test software is expected; deep software development experience is not necessary).

• Partner closely with development engineering to support the transfer of new and updated products into production, including during periods of elevated transfer volume.
• Create, update, and maintain transfer-related documentation: assembly documentation, assembly and test procedures, part drawings, and engineering change orders (ECOs).

• Mentor and coach other Manufacturing Engineering team members, helping guide their technical growth and problem-solving approach.
• Actively participate in and help drive our tier meeting structure and daily production cadence.

• Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean Six Sigma tools and methodology to hit established CI goals.
• Stay current on medical device manufacturing requirements and emerging test and process technologies.

• Own quality documentation for assigned product lines, including familiarity with IQ/OQ validation work.
• Partner directly with Quality Engineering to quickly troubleshoot and resolve quality issues arising on the line.

• Work directly with customers and suppliers as needed on technical requests or specialized product needs.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, technical, or scientific discipline.
• Medical device background, including familiarity with IQ/OQ validation work.
• 6+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in an electronic-based manufacturing environment, with a background in electronic test or test software.
• Demonstrated experience with regulated environments such as FDA QSRs and ISO 13485 for medical devices.
• Demonstrated ability to drive measurable process/yield improvement (e.g., taking a process from the mid-90s% yield into the high 90s%).
• Familiarity with Lean Six Sigma tools and methodology.
• Proficiency writing and editing production and other technical documentation.
• Strong…
