We build and operate advanced digital infrastructure that enables innovation, accelerates growth, and supports sustainability across aerospace, defense, medical, and other essential industries. Through our vertically integrated capabilities, including scalable additive manufacturing and precision machining, we deliver true end-to-end production at scale by combining cutting-edge technology with a foundation of proven industrial craftsmanship. Our team brings deep expertise in manufacturing, materials science, software, automation, and operations, united by a shared commitment to quality, curiosity, and accountability. We foster an inclusive culture where people take ownership, solve meaningful problems, and continuously learn, because we believe diverse perspectives lead to better outcomes.\nJob Purpose\nThe Senior Manufacturing Process Development Engineer will establish and optimize reliable processes, working cross-functionally to deliver safe, efficient processes that meet quality, cost, capacity, and customer requirements within our Medical business unit. This role will work cross-functionally on NPI teams to support process development and help successfully sample and launch new products. This role will also be responsible for taking new products from post-print to finished product by developing and scaling robust post-processing operations. They will provide technical leadership for the Production Team, define process requirements, coordinate with suppliers, and implement tooling and equipment solutions for post-processing printed parts and components.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine and support post-processing steps (e.g., machining, blasting, deburring, cleaning, heat treating) for newproduct; turn product designs and requirements into robust, scalable manufacturing processes.\nOversee the implementation of manufacturing processes by collaborating with in-house technicians and external suppliers. Coordinate machine setup and process validation whilemaintainingtechnical ownership.\nDefine functional requirements for tooling, fixturing, and post-processing equipment, including identifying opportunities for automation or capital investment to improve productivity. Partner with suppliers to deliver reliable solutions, and lead their implementation, testing, and validation.\nWrite andmaintaindetailed work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and process documentation to ensure repeatable and high-quality production.\nLead Installation Qualifications (IQ) for manufacturing equipment and support QC and Quality Engineering in Operational and Performance Qualifications (OQ/PQ). Help ensure all processes meet quality and regulatory requirements.\nEngage in the NPI processasrequiredto understand part requirements and contribute to design-for-manufacturability (DFM) decisions. Work closely with design, quality, and production teams toalign oncost, capability, and scalability.\nCollaborate with product and manufacturing teams to define takt time, throughput targets, and resource needs (equipment, labor, space) to support forecasted production volumes - including estimating manufacturing costs and time standards for new and existing products.\nWork with the HSSE team to assess risks and ensure that new equipment and processes meet internal safety and ergonomic standards.\nDrive process improvements aimed at scrap reduction and cost savings using root cause analysis, leantoolsand data-driven decision making.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering (or related field)\n5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, with a focus on post-processing methods (e.g., machining, blasting, fixturing)\nHands-on experience developing and scaling production processes\nProficiencyin process qualification tools and methods (e.g., PFMEA, DOE, IQ/OQ/PQ)\nStrong cross-functional collaboration skills, including working with suppliers, technicians, and internal engineering, quality, and production teams\nExperiencecreating andmaintainingprocess documentation (e.g., SOPs, work instructions, validation plans)\nKnowledge of Lean Manufacturing, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement methods\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with metal additive manufacturing and transitioning printed parts to finished product\nFamiliarity with post-processing techniques, GD&T, and tooling design (hands-on or oversight)\nBackground in regulated or quality-controlled environments (e.g., medical device, aerospace) and experience qualifying equipment or automated processes\nExposure to ERP/MES systems, manufacturing data tools, and safety or ergonomic assessments\nVulcanForms offers a competitive salary and equity package.
