Manufacturing Engineering Lead – FESS
About The Position
As Manufacturing Engineering Lead you'll be the technical anchor for one of Torus's core product lines. You'll own the day-to-day engineering execution on the manufacturing floor — fielding technical questions as they arise, solving process problems in real time, driving design-to-manufacturing transitions, and keeping projects moving. This is a hands-on, in-the-work role. You're the person engineers and production turn to first when something needs a technical answer, and you take pride in being that resource. You'll work alongside a team of manufacturing engineers on the line, with your impact measured by the quality, reliability, and throughput of what gets built.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or senior individual contributor capacity
- Demonstrated experience with complex electromechanical or rotating machinery assembly and production processes
- Proven ability to lead technical work across a team — setting direction, reviewing output, and holding the line on quality and timelines
- Strong hands-on problem-solving skills with experience using structured methodologies (8D, FMEA, root cause analysis)
- Proficiency with engineering documentation systems and change management processes
- Experience driving design-to-manufacturing transitions and collaborating directly with product or R&D engineering teams
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field
Nice To Haves
- Experience with flywheel, rotating energy storage, or high-speed electromechanical systems
- Experience with fabrication, machining, and/or electrical manufacturing processes
- Familiarity with SolidWorks or similar CAD/PDM tools
- Experience in a high-growth or startup manufacturing environment
- Lean manufacturing or Six Sigma training or certification
- NetSuite or similar ERP system experience
Responsibilities
- Serve as the go-to technical resource on the manufacturing line, fielding engineering questions and resolving issues as they arise in real time
- Own day-to-day engineering execution on the line — keeping projects on track, removing blockers, and maintaining momentum
- Lead process development, documentation, and continuous improvement efforts for assembly, test, and production
- Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback and ensure smooth transitions from R&D and product engineering into production
- Own and maintain critical manufacturing documentation including work instructions, process specs, BOMs, and engineering change orders
- Identify and resolve technical problems that affect throughput, quality, or safety.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Product Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Production Operations
