The company is scaling manufacturing and operations, and seeks an experienced Mechanical, Biomedical, or Materials Engineer to lead the transition of a complex product from R&D to full-scale production. In this role, you will own multiple critical manufacturing processes and drive New Product Introduction (NPI) initiatives. Key responsibilities include leading the transfer of designs from R&D to production, optimizing manufacturing processes through design and development of production equipment and fixtures, and writing comprehensive manufacturing documentation. You will provide hands-on production floor support, troubleshooting issues and conducting root cause analysis to drive continuous improvement. You will collaborate closely with external suppliers and subcontractors to ensure quality, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
