Senior Manufacturing Engineer
About The Position
As our Manufacturing Engineer, you'll own the processes that take our vision test kiosks from partial to final-assembly, and you'll help define what those processes look like from the ground up. You'll take over management of our domestic and overseas assembly operation, driving quality, consistency, and scale while working closely with our product engineering team to ensure we're delivering saleable kiosks to operations for the final delivery to customers. This role is foundational. As Eyebot scales, this position is expected to grow into a leadership role, eventually managing a team of manufacturing engineers. If you want to build something and then lead the team that runs it, this is that opportunity. A note on schedule: This role is based in Boston's North End or Charlestown offices, 4-5 days/week in office. Some domestic and potentially international travel to contract manufacturers and suppliers should be expected. Must be able to travel overseas on 4-6 trips/year.
Requirements
- 10+ years in manufacturing or design engineering, with hands-on NPI experience.

- Familiarity with global contract manufacturers and supplier management.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T.
- Experience in a regulated industry (medical devices, pharmaceutical, automotive, or similar) - you know what documentation is required, how to navigate compliance processes, and can be the go-to expert on the team for all of it.

Responsibilities
- Refine manufacturing readiness for our production model.

- Identify and qualify contract manufacturers and suppliers; manage those relationships through production ramp.
- Establish process control points that protect critical product specs and quality requirements.
- Use production data to drive continuous improvement - analyzing process capability, flagging failures early, and closing the loop
- Collaborate cross-functionally on engineering and operational challenges as they come up. (they will)
- Evaluate existing components and tooling, identify gaps, and own the decisions that close them - including working directly with sourcing to get there
- This role has a leadership trajectory: as Eyebot scales, you'll grow into managing a team of manufacturing engineers, shaping not just the process but the people who run it
Benefits
- Meaningful equity - you're building this with us and should share in what we create.
