The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will own, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing processes and production readiness. This role is responsible for establishing documented, repeatable processes and driving improvements that support efficiency, quality, cost, and scalability. The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will serve as the manufacturing authority for process definition, production readiness, and execution, working cross-functionally to ensure designs, tools, and workflows are ready for reliable production.

  • Own, develop, and maintain documented manufacturing processes, including process sheets, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.
  • Lead the transition from a shop-based environment to a production-oriented operation through the implementation of flow lines, standardized work, appropriate tooling, and repeatable manufacturing methods.
  • Serve as the primary Manufacturing authority in the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process, reviewing proposed changes for producibility, tooling impact, floor readiness, and execution risk prior to release.
  • Analyze and improve workflows, equipment layout, space utilization, and material flow to increase efficiency, quality, safety, and throughput.
  • Work closely with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Production to identify manufacturing issues, resolve constraints, and ensure changes are implemented in a controlled and documented manner.
  • Develop and implement process improvements based on data, root cause analysis, and observe conditions on the floor.
  • Support training and onboarding by ensuring manufacturing processes are clearly documented, understood, and followed.
  • Ensure manufacturing processes comply with applicable safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
  • Perform risk assessments related to manufacturing processes, tooling, and changes prior to implementation.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
  • 5-8 years of manufacturing experience with demonstrated ownership of process development, production readiness, and scaling products from early builds through sustained production.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing production methodologies such as Lean Manufacturing, Theory of Constraints, flow lines, standardized work, and continuous improvement practices. Formal certification (Lean, Six Sigma, TOC, or similar) preferred but not required.
  • Proven experience with electro-mechanical products in a production environment
  • Strong ability to read, interpret, and challenge engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T with a focus on manufacturability and risk.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline preferred, with equivalent experience considered.
  • Travel Requirements: <5 % of time.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills
  • Cross-functional team communication skills
  • Presentation and organizational skills
