NPI Manufacturing Engineer
About The Position
Multiply Labs is seeking an NPI Engineer to manage the transition of their Consumable products from R&D prototypes to repeatable, in-house low-volume production, and eventually to contract manufacturing for commercialization. This role requires a strong background in medical robotics/devices and/or biopharma laboratory consumables manufacturing/automation, with expertise in design transfer, documentation, and small-scale manufacturing operations. The company is focused on solving a critical bottleneck in medicine by automating the manufacturing of life-saving advanced biologics through robotics and AI, making these therapies more accessible and affordable.
Requirements
- Bachelor's in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
- 2–8 years in manufacturing/NPI/process engineering, ideally in single-use medical device, diagnostics, or biopharma consumables manufacturing
- Direct experience with design transfer, design controls, and documentation practices
- Comfortable working hands-on with technicians, reading CAD/drawings, and working in a cleanroom manufacturing environment
- Experience qualifying and working with contract manufacturers or suppliers
- Statistical tools (SPC, capability studies) and risk management
- Superb communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills; comfortable in a fast-paced, startup environment
- Exceptional organization skills and proven ability to work on multiple fast-paced projects simultaneously
Nice To Haves
- Experience with process/equipment validation concepts (IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Prior experience at a hardware startup or robotics company
- Familiarity with biomanufacturing or lab automation
- Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., GMP, FDA 21 CFR 820.30, ISO 13485)
- Experience with the manufacturing of precision machine components
Responsibilities
- Lead design transfer from R&D prototypes to in-house pilot production, converting one-off prototype builds into controlled, repeatable processes for technicians.
- Develop, release, and maintain build documentation, including work instructions, BOMs, LHRs, assembly drawings, inspection criteria, and test procedures, and train the manufacturing team on new content.
- Collaborate with R&D to drive DFX (Design for Excellence) improvements.
- Coordinate with Quality to ensure compliance with industry standards and implement risk-based quality control for products.
- Schedule and coordinate builds with the onsite manufacturing team, and troubleshoot issues in real time.
- Manage inventory and kitting with technician(s), and partner with supply chain/procurement on sourcing, part qualification, and vendor management.
- Track yield, first-pass quality, and build data; drive root cause analysis and implement improvements based on data.
- Own handoff to contract manufacturing, including selecting/qualifying CMs, transferring documentation packages, and managing the transition as volume or maturity outpaces internal capacity.
Benefits
- Competitive Compensation: Salary range of $90,000 - $180,000 plus meaningful early-stage equity.
