About The Position

The Sr. Engineer, Global Equipment Engineering plays a critical role in developing and scaling assembly processes for new products. This individual contributor role supports the development and implementation of assembly processes across the full range of manufacturing scales, from early-stage manual assembly to fully automated production systems. The focus is on delivering robust, high performing solutions that enable efficient operations and long-term scalability. Working cross-functionally with R&D, Manufacturing Engineering, Supplier Engineering, and Operations, the Sr. Engineer will lead technical efforts in pre-production assembly development, including equipment scoping, procurement, installation, and validation. This role requires a strong technical skillset, project management expertise, and a strategic mindset to support automation readiness and production scalability. Note: This role will begin with a 3 to 6-month rotation through Insulet’s Global Manufacturing Engineering (GME) organization. During this time, the engineer will gain hands-on experience across multiple teams, build cross-functional relationships, and develop a strong understanding of Omnipod assembly and system-level function. After the rotation period, the engineer will transition into a dedicated NPI project team.
