Manufacturing Engineer - 1108

The role

Lead a production line that builds complex ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) hardware. Work hands-on with technicians to meet build schedules, keep quality high, and improve manufacturing processes.

What you will do

• Lead a production line building complex UHV hardware, with accountability for safe, high-quality execution of the build schedule
• Work side by side with technicians to assemble, integrate, test, troubleshoot, and deliver low-volume, high-complexity hardware
• Translate production priorities into daily and weekly work plans; coordinate labor, materials, tooling, documentation, and technical support
• Own and improve production-line structure: process flows, assembly sequences, work instructions, build travelers, inspection and test methods, training, and readiness criteria
• Partner with quality to drive improvements using build data, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, defect and rework trends, cycle time, and yield
• Partner with engineers, physicists, quality and supply chain to resolve issues, implement engineering changes, and improve manufacturability, reliability, throughput, and cost
• Develop tooling, fixtures, test equipment, and workstation improvements that increase safety, repeatability, ergonomics, and production capacity

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree minimum
• Minimum 5 years of experience in hardware manufacturing or product industrialization
• U.S. Person status: U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, or granted asylum or refugee status (due to contractual requirements)

Nice to have

• Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field
• Hands-on experience leading builds or daily production-line execution for complex, low-volume hardware
• Experience building, integrating, testing, or troubleshooting UHV systems, precision mechanical assemblies, cryogenic systems, or comparable complex scientific hardware
• Experience establishing production structure through process flows, work instructions, build travelers, inspection plans, test procedures, operator training, and readiness reviews
• Experience improving quality, yield, cycle time, throughput, and rework using root-cause analysis, corrective action, Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methods
• Experience with DFM/DFA, tooling and fixture design, configuration control, engineering changes, quality systems, and CAD or PLM/PDM tools such as Onshape and Arena
• Strong technical ownership, organization, communication, and cross-functional leadership

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology
• Flexible work arrangements that support work-life balance
• Employer-subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match and student loan repayment benefit
• Equity opportunities
• Generous paid time off, sick leave, and 12 paid holidays annually
• Paid parental leave
• Employee discount programs

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, green card holder, or granted asylum or refugee status) due to contractual requirements
• Applicants for safety-sensitive positions must pass a pre-employment drug test
• Some U.S. positions involve export-controlled technology; authorization may be needed before non-U.S. persons can access it, and hiring depends on whether that authorization can be obtained
