About the role
As an NPI Manufacturing Engineer, you will help bring new electro-mechanical products to life by partnering with cross-functional teams to move designs from concept through successful volume manufacturing. You will apply manufacturing engineering knowledge to develop assembly strategies, resolve product and process issues, guide tooling and fixture development, improve product manufacturability, and enable a successful manufacturing transfer.
What you'll do
- Champion manufacturing engineering activities for new product introduction projects from concept development through production transfer.
- Partner with design engineering to evaluate product designs, identify manufacturing and assembly risks, and recommend improvements.
- Develop manufacturing strategies, assembly process flows, and build plans.
- Guide hands-on builds and evaluations of electro-mechanical assemblies to identify process risks and validate assembly methods.
- Define requirements for assembly tools and fixtures, coordinate their design and qualification, and ensure solutions meet manufacturing needs.
- Facilitate investigations of complex product assembly and manufacturing issues using structured problem-solving and root-cause assessment methods.
What you'll need
- Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Eight or more years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, new product introduction, process engineering, or a related engineering field.
- Demonstrated experience championing manufacturing engineering activities for mechanical or electro-mechanical products.
- Experience evaluating solid models, bills of material, engineering drawings, and related design information to define assembly methods and manufacturing requirements.
- Experience developing, reviewing, and maintaining detailed product assembly instructions and manufacturing process documentation.
- Experience defining, designing, documenting, and qualifying mechanical tools and fixtures.
- Demonstrated experience facilitating structured root-cause investigations and developing corrective actions for complex manufacturing or product assembly issues.
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
Nice to have
- Experience supporting new products from concept development through pilot production and transfer to volume manufacturing.
- Experience working with contract manufacturing partners or external suppliers.
- Experience applying design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly best practices to complex electro-mechanical products.
- Experience leading Process Failure Mode and Effects Assessment (PFMEA) activities.
- Experience developing manufacturing risk assessments, build-readiness reviews, or production transfer plans.
- Experience with SolidWorks PDM.
- Certified SolidWorks Professional certification or an advanced SolidWorks certification.
