This senior individual contributor role is responsible for the manufacturing readiness and technical performance of assigned prototype test rigs, products, modules, or manufacturing domains. The engineer connects product development with factory execution by planning and supporting prototype builds, integration, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. The role leads through technical expertise and influence, converting prototype learning into safer, more repeatable, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing solutions.
Responsibilities
Plan and support prototype test-rig build, integration, test, commissioning, troubleshooting, modification, and decommissioning activities
Assess execution readiness for procedures, tooling, test methods, technical information, resources, and approvals
Establish safe, executable assembly, integration, and test sequences for new or evolving hardware and systems
Capture test-rig learning and apply it to product designs, procedures, sequences, tooling, test methods, manufacturability, and future factory readiness
Own assigned manufacturing processes or technical domains and provide readiness leadership across dependent factory activities
Develop and improve manufacturing methods, procedures, tooling, equipment, test methods, and process controls
Evaluate and qualify manufacturing changes, including engineering changes and approved departures from standard requirements
Analyze yield, quality, cycle time, capacity, reliability, safety, and cost performance to identify improvements
Lead complex problem definition, root-cause analysis, corrective action, and recurrence prevention
Serve as the Manufacturing Engineering focal point for an assigned cross-functional product or module leadership team (MDU)
Convert stakeholder objectives, constraints, and decisions into clear Manufacturing Engineering actions and ownership
Prepare decision-ready technical recommendations supported by evidence, factory impact, implementation risks, and required decisions
Communicate risks, decisions, commitments, and changes to affected teams and confirm follow-through
Translate ambiguous objectives into executable plans with clear scope, deliverables, owners, milestones, dependencies, and success criteria
Coordinate interdependent technical work across engineering contributors and assigned manufacturing domains
Identify technical, resource, schedule, and readiness risks and coordinate mitigation with responsible owners
Escalate unresolved decisions with the impact, options considered, and a recommended path forward

Prepare engineers to represent their assigned technical domains with product, module, and cross-functional stakeholders
Review technical plans, risk assessments, presentations, and recommendations before key decisions
Build distributed ownership of critical knowledge, responsibilities, and stakeholder relationships
Convert prototype and factory lessons into sustainable improvements to products, processes, tooling, test methods, and training
Standardize effective manufacturing methods, planning practices, procedures, and technical documentation
Improve handoffs among the engineering function supporting prototype test-rig build, integration, test, commissioning, troubleshooting, and learning capture; the engineering function supporting repeatable integration and test execution across systems, modules, and factory operations; and related manufacturing teams
Share technical knowledge across engineers, technicians, and cross-functional stakeholders
Requirements
Work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline; an advanced degree or equivalent experience is preferred
Minimum of five years of relevant experience in complex manufacturing, prototype, new-product introduction, integration, test, industrialization, or a closely related engineering environment
Experience with complex high-technology systems, such as electromechanical, mechatronic, vacuum, fluid, laser, or controls systems
Experience developing manufacturing processes and applying structured problem-solving methods
Experience leading root-cause analysis, corrective action, and recurrence prevention
Experience providing cross-functional technical leadership without formal reporting authority
Experience with technical planning, risk management, stakeholder communication, manufacturing documentation, bills of material, engineering changes, procedures, or product industrialization
Nice to have:
