NPI Manufacturing Engineer; Hardware​/RF

NPI Manufacturing Engineer (Hardware/RF)

About Us : At Ma Xentric Technologies , we develop high-performance electronics and advanced wireless systems for the defense, medical, and commercial industries. For over 20 years, our engineering teams have focused on problem-solving and innovation to deliver cutting-edge technologies that create a safer, smarter, and more connected world. You will be joining us at a critical and exciting stage as we take our latest generation of complex radio systems from advanced prototypes to scalable, high-quality production.

The Role : We are looking for a hands-on New Product Introduction (NPI) Manufacturing Engineer to lead the transition of our advanced radio systems from prototype to production. In this role, you will manage a hybrid manufacturing model: overseeing outsourced sub-assemblies with US-based partners, while designing and scaling our in-house final assembly and testing lines.

Because we build highly complex systems in low volumes (10s to 100s of units) across multiple product lines, we need an agile engineer who can build flexible, repeatable processes and bridge the gap between our R&D and production teams.

In-House Assembly Setup:
Design the physical layout, workflow, and stations for our in-house final assembly line. Create clear, step-by-step Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and build instructions for production technicians.

Drive NPI (High-Mix, Low-Volume):
Lead the manufacturing launch across multiple radio product lines, ensuring a smooth transition from prototype toinitialproduction batches.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM):
Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to review designs and suggest tweaks that simplify assembly, reduce cost, and improve yield.

Collaborative Testing:
Partner with our Test Engineering team to seamlessly integrate RF and electronic functional testing into the final assembly process, ensuring every unit meets strict quality standards.

Domestic Supply Chain Management:
Identify, evaluate, and manage US-based Contract Manufacturers (CMs) andcomponentsuppliers for outsourced sub-assemblies. (Travel is minimal and strictly domestic).

Tooling & Fixturing:
Specify, design, orprocurethe necessary jigs, fixtures, and toolingrequiredfor efficient in-house assembly.

Experience:

3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, specifically in an NPI capacity for complex electronics, hardware, or RF systems.

Agile Manufacturing:
Proven experience in a high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) manufacturing environment. You know how to build flexible processes that can adapt to different product lines.

Technical Chops:
Strong understanding of electro-mechanical assembly, PCBA manufacturing processes, and hardware integration.

Vendor Management:
Experience working with domestic suppliers, machine shops, and contract manufacturers.

Cross-Functional Teamwork: A track recordof working collaboratively with R&D, Test Engineers, and floor technicians.

Tooling:
Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD) for designing basic assembly fixtures and tooling.

RF Familiarity (Bonus):
Familiarity working around radio frequency (RF) products or wireless communications hardware is highly preferred.

NOTE:
Due to the nature of our military work, U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency is required for this position.
