Responsibilities

Develop and sustain manufacturing processes that meet cost, ergonomic, quality, and cycle time requirements for high-volume production.
Collaborate closely with Product Design/R&D teams to influence manufacturability early in the product lifecycle; provide feedback on design-for-manufacturing (DFM), materials selection, and assembly tolerances.
Design and implement production tooling, fixtures, and assembly methods using SolidWorks.
Lead process characterization and optimization using DOE, SPC, and other data-driven methodologies.
Evaluate and integrate manufacturing technologies including machining, molding, additive manufacturing, and joining methods (e.g., soldering, ultrasonic welding, mechanical fastening).
Drive implementation of traceability systems and MES integration to enhance process visibility and compliance.
Partner cross-functionally with Quality, Product, and Automation Engineering to ensure robust and repeatable manufacturing outcomes.
Identify and implement opportunities for cost reduction, quality improvement, and process efficiency, leveraging AI/data tools where appropriate.
Provide hands-on technical support on the manufacturing floor, troubleshooting issues with equipment, materials, and processes.
Manage projects effectively-plan, execute, and monitor technical milestones to meet production and launch schedules.
