design, verification, pilot, and ramp stages. Own verification and validation planning across functional,

environmental, and reliability testing. Lead Operations readiness and production ramp planning, integrating

supplier capability, production readiness, and capacity models. Perform engineering trade-off analyses across

mechanical performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. - Validate design feasibility through prototyping,

testing, and simulation of structural, thermal, and functional behavior. Apply DFM/DFA principles to ensure

component geometry, interfaces, and tolerances are ready. Perform resource leveling and capacity planning across

engineering, operations, and suppliers. Identify and manage technical and operational risks using structured

mitigation plans. Design the global manufacturing and supplier network across Formlabs factories and external

partners. Perform lead-time and bottleneck analysis to protect launch and ramp schedules. Execute make-vs-buy

and supplier selection frameworks. Lead supplier negotiations and risk mitigation to ensure continuity of supply.

Build end-to-end cost models including BOM, labor, tooling, depreciation, yield, and overhead. Perform design-to-

cost and value-engineering trade studies. Evaluate capital investments using NPV, free cash flow, and ROI analysis.

Model yield, scrap, and rework impact on unit cost. Conduct cost variance and sensitivity analyses. Translate

engineering and manufacturing constraints into business impact assessments. Lead cross-functional Operational

Readiness Meetings for NPI execution. Produce data-driven executive reports integrating cost, yield, capacity, and

schedule. Apply DOE and statistical analysis to optimize yield and reduce variation. Lead root-cause analysis and

CAPA for defects and failures. Provide quality and risk dashboards to leadership. Manage engineering change

control and configuration management. Enforce risk-based quality systems aligned with ISO and industry

standards. Maintain traceability from requirements to validation results. Coordinate compliance across engineering,

operations, and suppliers. Integrate engineering, manufacturing, and supply-chain cost data into financial

governance systems. Perform budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis. Manage inventory valuation and COGS

tracking. Execute process-level cost-reduction initiatives. Define quantitative KPIs for yield, throughput, cycle

time, cost, and readiness. Drive continuous improvement initiatives. Maintain organizational accountability and

reporting structures. 15% of domestic travel required.

Requirements: Bachelor’s degree, or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related

field and two years of experience in mechanical engineering, or hardware product development. Must have two years
