  • Evaluate and develop make-vs-buy recommendations for mechanical/electrical subsystems
  • Implement Lean, Six Sigma, and DFM/DFA methodologies to reduce cost, waste, and cycle time
  • Track manufacturing KPIs (yield, throughput, downtime, etc.) and drive measurable improvements
  • Work closely with Hardware Engineering, Supply Chain, and Quality teams to ensure designs are robust, cost-efficient, and manufacturable
  • Partner with suppliers and contract manufacturers to address quality, lead time, and cost concerns
  • Provide training and technical support to internal teams and external partners on tools, test equipment, and debug procedures.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering (or related field)
  • 6+ years in manufacturing engineering, in automation, electro-mechanical systems, robotics (preferred)
