Position Overview
Seeking a hands-on Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join its Sustaining Engineering team supporting medical device manufacturing operations. This is not a traditional process engineering role focused on molding or large-scale equipment development. Instead, the team is looking for a strong mid-career engineer who can support sustaining engineering activities, continuous improvement initiatives, tooling and fixture design, and cross-functional manufacturing support within a regulated medical device environment.
The ideal candidate will have 5–7+ years of experience in medical device manufacturing engineering and bring a strong balance of technical capability, collaboration, mentorship, and hands-on problem solving. This individual will partner closely with senior engineering leadership while helping guide and mentor junior engineers on the team.
This role is highly visible and business-critical as the team continues to ramp up production and engineering support activities.
Key Responsibilities
- Support sustaining engineering activities across existing medical device manufacturing operations
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, efficiency, manufacturability, and production support
- Create and maintain engineering change requests/orders (ECRs/ECOs), quality documentation, work instructions, and manufacturing support documentation
- Collaborate closely with Design Engineering teams to improve Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and production readiness
- Design manufacturing tooling, fixtures, jigs, and support equipment using SolidWorks
- Provide day-to-day hands-on engineering support to manufacturing operations and troubleshoot production-related issues
- Support root cause investigations, corrective actions, and nonconformance resolution activities
- Assist with validation and implementation of manufacturing improvements and process updates
- Partner with Quality and Operations teams to ensure compliance within a regulated medical device environment
- Mentor and help develop early-career engineers by providing technical guidance and support
- Contribute to a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment with strong team interaction
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field
- 5–7+ years of manufacturing or sustaining engineering experience within medical device manufacturing
- Strong experience supporting engineering changes, quality documentation, and sustaining manufacturing operations
- Experience working directly with Design Engineering teams on manufacturability improvements
- Proficiency with SolidWorks for tooling, fixture, and manufacturing support design
- Hands-on troubleshooting and continuous improvement experience in a production environment
- Strong understanding of FDA-regulated or ISO-controlled manufacturing environments
- Ability to balance technical execution with mentorship and team collaboration
- Excellent communication and organizational skills
Benefits
- Competitive salary + annual bonus potential
- Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid Time Off & Holidays

- Collaborative and innovation-driven work environment
