Senior Manufacturing Engineer

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will play a key technical role in defining how custom mechanical components are manufactured, evaluated, and priced. This hands-on position combines manufacturing engineering expertise with cost analysis, quoting, and Design for Manufacturability (DFM), helping customers bring products to market efficiently and cost-effectively. You will work across a broad range of manufacturing processes while advising on technical feasibility, production requirements, and design improvements. Acting as a senior technical resource, you will also mentor engineers, strengthen engineering standards, and improve consistency across geographically distributed teams. The role offers significant autonomy and close collaboration with engineering, sourcing, sales, quality, and software stakeholders in a remote-first environment.

• A four-year degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent technical training.

• 5–10 years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, costing, DFM, or custom mechanical hardware development.

• Hands-on experience with multiple custom manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal fabrication, urethane casting, and injection molding.

• Demonstrated experience with both CNC machining and 3D printing.

• Strong knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), conventional coordinate tolerancing, and the manufacturing characteristics and limitations of common metals and plastics.

• Experience mentoring or coaching engineers and serving as a trusted technical resource; experience collaborating with offshore or GCC teams is an advantage.

• Proven ability to lead through influence, coordinate cross-functional teams, and manage projects involving stakeholders without direct reporting relationships.

• Ability to work independently in a remote environment, manage priorities end to end, exercise sound technical judgment, and drive decisions to completion with minimal supervision.

• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multicultural and cross-functional teams.

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accurate documentation.

• Familiarity with APQP/PPAP, IQ/OQ/PQ, EV/DV/PV, or New Product Introduction (NPI) processes is beneficial; PMP certification is also a plus.

• Experience in regulated manufacturing environments, particularly those governed by AS9100, ISO 13485, or similar standards, is highly recommended.

• Ability to perform primarily computer-based work involving extended periods reviewing CAD models and engineering drawings, with occasional visits to manufacturing facilities.

• Must meet applicable U.S. work authorization and export-control eligibility requirements for the role.
