About The Position

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to support the production of complex robotic and automation systems. This role bridges engineering and manufacturing, focusing on designing, improving, and sustaining scalable assembly processes for mechanical, electrical, and software-integrated robotic systems. The Manufacturing Engineer works closely with design engineering, supply chain, quality, and operations to ensure products are built safely, efficiently, and to high quality standards.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
At least 3 years of experience in manufacturing engineering for complex electromechanical systems.
Experience supporting low- to medium-volume, high-mix products.
Strong understanding of mechanical assemblies, electrical systems, and system integration.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and specifications.
Experience creating clear work instructions and training production technicians.
Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement.
Experience providing design engineers with DFM/DFA suggestions.
Ability to interpret and manipulate 3D CAD models.
Strong problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience with robotic systems, industrial automation, or material handling equipment.
Experience with prototype builds and transitioning designs into production.
Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and fixture design.
Experience with pneumatics, motion systems, sensors, and industrial controls.
Six Sigma, Lean, or similar certifications.
Examples of demonstrable reductions in product costs, cycle times, or quality issues through DFM/DFA suggestions or production work-cell improvements.
Experience with SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD.
Experience supporting field installations or system commissioning.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling, and fixtures for robotic systems and subassemblies.
Translate product designs into efficient, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing processes.
Support new product introduction (NPI), including prototype builds, pilot runs, and production ramp.
Collaborate with design engineers on DFM/DFA decisions to reduce cost, risk, and cycle time.
Define build sequences, takt times, line layouts, and labor models.
Identify and implement process improvements to improve quality, throughput, ergonomics, and safety.
Troubleshoot production issues related to mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical assemblies.
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for quality or manufacturing issues.
Specify and validate tools, test equipment, and automation used in manufacturing.
Support supplier manufacturing readiness and outsourced builds as needed.
Maintain accurate documentation, including BOMs, routings, ECNs, and manufacturing records.
Use CAD models to support manufacturing documentation and DFM/DFA analysis.
Define and support the redline process in internal manufacturing for continuous improvement.
