Job Description
Position Summary
The Senior Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for sustaining and improving manufacturing processes for released products to ensure high quality, efficiency, and supply continuity.
This role serves as the primary Engineering owner for production performance, applying structured engineering methods, statistical analysis, and standard processes to drive effective, repeatable solutions. Additionally, this role supports New Product Introduction (NPI) to ensure a robust and quality focused transition from development into production. This position is expected to mentor and guide other team members, promote consistent use of best practices, and drive the organization toward data-driven decision-making and standardized approaches to problem solving, process control, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the technical lead for manufacturing performance on assigned product lines.
Lead and review root cause investigations through the use of appropriate formal methodologies, ensuring corrective actions are robust, validated, and standardized across similar issues.
Lead complex, cross-functional issues to resolution, ensuring clear ownership, accountability, and closure.
Use production data and metrics to identify, prioritize, and justify improvement efforts.
Define and implement standard approaches to waste reduction and process optimization.
Lead manufacturing readiness perspective during NPI and production handoff.
Drive lessons learned from production into new product designs and processes.
Influence design, quality, and supply chain decisions using data and manufacturability considerations.
Set direction and expectations for problem solving, documentation, and process control within the Manufacturing Engineering team.
Establish and enforce standardized approaches to manufacturing processes, problem solving, and documentation.
Drive adoption of data-driven decision making across manufacturing and cross-functional teams.
Execute engineering changes with proper impact assessment, validation, and documentation control.
Evaluate and qualify alternative components using formal risk assessment and validation methods.
Author, review, and maintain accurate production documentation, ensuring they are clear, controlled, and aligned to design intent.
Operate with a high level of autonomy, setting direction rather than requiring direction, and ensuring work is executed using disciplined, repeatable engineering practices.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or related Engineering field. Sufficient combination of education and experience in lieu of a degree may be considered.
7+ years of Manufacturing or Sustaining Engineering experience, preferably in scientific instrumentation, sensors, industrial equipment, or related complex electromechanical systems.
Demonstrated use of root cause analysis, statistical methods, and process improvement tools.
Strong ownership and accountability for results.
Ability to lead across functions through influence and standardization.
Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing data management.
Working knowledge of lean manufacturing, process validation, and continuous improvement techniques.
Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks) and mechanical drafting. Experience with product lifecycle tools (PLM systems) preferred.
Hands-on prototyping and test experience, including familiarity with machine shop tools and rapid prototyping methods.
Background in manufacturing techniques such as CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, and/or additive manufacturing a plus.
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
Strong communication and presentation skills, including comfort participating in technical design reviews.
