About The Position

Multiply Labs is seeking an NPI Engineer to manage the transition of their Consumable products from R&D prototypes to in-house low-volume production, and eventually to contract manufacturing for commercialization. This role requires a well-rounded background in medtech, with expertise in design transfer, rigorous documentation creation, and managing small-scale manufacturing operations. The company's mission is to build the world's best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all, utilizing advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, and cloud-integrated hardware-software systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor's in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• 1–4 years in manufacturing/NPI engineering, ideally in single-use medical device, diagnostics, or biopharma consumables manufacturing
• 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
• 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) is a plus, even if not required in our current environment
• 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 (this role is primarily consumables based, but may have some overlap with capital equipment manufacturing)
• Experience qualifying and working with contract manufacturers or suppliers

Responsibilities

• Lead design transfer from R&D prototypes to in-house pilot production, converting one-off prototype builds into controlled, repeatable processes executable by technicians.
• Design and build fixturing, and select and implement new equipment on the pilot line.
• Develop, release, and maintain build documentation, including work instructions, BOMs, LHRs, assembly drawings, inspection criteria, and test procedures. 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 the Supply Chain/Procurement Team 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 the handoff to contract manufacturing in partnership with the Supply Chain team, creating 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.
• Premium Health: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision plans with subsidies for child dependents.
• Wealth Building: 401(k) with a 4% company match.
