• Lead, develop and align a multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists and technicians
• Own the industrialization and manufacturing strategy for UHV subsystems, from early builds through full production
• Set the manufacturing vision and roadmap, including capacity planning, process definition and material strategies
• Define manufacturing facility requirements and help design and establish new facilities
• Partner early with design teams to build manufacturability, testability, reliability and cost into system architecture
• Establish manufacturing readiness criteria, validation strategies and release gates
• Ensure production systems are developed and maintained, including work instructions, test procedures and engineering change control
• Partner with quality to drive quality, yield, throughput and cost goals using production data and root-cause corrective action
• Provide hands-on technical leadership on the production floor
• Hire, coach and mentor a high-performing team and own performance management and succession planning

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree minimum
• Minimum 8+ years of experience in high-technology hardware development, product industrialization, or manufacturing engineering

• Experience with ultra-high vacuum (UHV) or extreme-high vacuum (XHV) systems, precision mechanical assemblies, optics, photonics, cryogenics or scientific instrumentation
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA, process validation, configuration management and sustained production support
• Experience defining manufacturing strategy, readiness plans, capacity models and facility layouts
• Experience establishing scalable production systems, tooling, fixtures and inspection plans
• Hands-on experience in a cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environment
• Proficiency with structured problem solving, statistical analysis and yield improvement
• Experience managing suppliers, outsourcing and material flow

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and work on groundbreaking technology
• Flexible work arrangements
