Job Description
Are you ready to take ownership of real, hands-on engineering projects in a fast-paced environment? This role offers the opportunity to help launch new products from R&D into production while driving improvements in existing manufacturing operations. You’ll be part of a team where initiative, problem-solving, and collaboration are valued every day—and where your ideas can make a visible impact on the success of the business.
Why this opportunity stands out:
-
A collaborative culture where smart, driven people thrive

Projects that span both new product introduction and production support

The chance to design processes and test fixtures, not just maintain them
-
Flexible work hours, strong benefits, stock options, and discretionary bonus opportunities tied to milestones

-
Partner with R&D and manufacturing to move new products from design to production
-
Implement process controls, including risk analysis, test method validation, and infrastructure monitoring
-
Analyze and improve production processes using DMAIC, Gage R&R, Cp/Cpk, SPC, and related methods
-
Maintain and update manufacturing documentation, including work instructions and inspection procedures
-
Launch and design simple test fixtures and support qualification activities
-
Troubleshoot, manage defects, and implement process improvements for ongoing production
-
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and advocate for strong specs and standards
Qualifications
-
Bachelor of Science in an Engineering discipline required
-
Minimum 2–3 years of manufacturing experience
-
Hands-on experience with electromechanical test fixtures, circuit boards, or process engineering (only one required)
-
Preferred: experience in medical devices, electromechanical assemblies, low- to mid-volume production, and/or startup environments
-
Strong problem-solving skills and process orientation
-
CAD software experience preferred (SolidWorks ideal)
-
Familiarity with FDA Quality System Regulations and ISO 13485 preferred
-
Self-starter with the ability to work independently and suggest improvements
Success in this role looks like:
-
Collaborating effectively with R&D and manufacturing to deliver milestones
-
Updating work instructions and production protocols
-
Designing and launching simple test fixtures
-
Supporting new product introductions while improving existing production lines
