Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description Hands-On Engineering (Primary Focus) Perform extensive handsu2011on work, including prototyping, lab activities, assembly troubleshooting, and machine shop tasks. Support a wide range of manufacturing processes, including: Precision assembly of microu2011surgical devices Fiberu2011optic assembly and handling Basic machining and shopu2011based fabrication (traditional, nonu2011CNC) Light tooling and fixture fabrication Provide fastu2011cycle, shortu2011term engineering support and u201cquick hitu201d fixes to keep production moving. Modify or influence manufacturing processes where higheru2011end assembly skills are required. Mechanical Design: Use CAD tools (Autodesk Inventor preferred, but SolidWorks or similar is acceptable) to support mechanical design when needed. CAD will be used as a toolu2014not the primary responsibility. Process Development & Validation: Conduct process development for handu2011built medical products. Author and execute validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ). Support risk management and CAPA activities; prior experience is a plus but can be trained. Work under ISO 13485 and MDR requirements; experience helpful but not mandatory. Documentation & Compliance: Produce extensive engineering documentation; format and templates are specific to the company and will be trained. Participate in internal and external audits. Support Part 11 assessments for validated software. Team & Work Environment: Join a small, collaborative engineering team of three. Work closely with design engineering (Jim) and manufacturing. Balance of office work and floor time (heavy floor presence). Ideal Candidate Profile: Strong handsu2011on mindset with personal projects or hobbies demonstrating mechanical aptitude. Comfortable spending ~80% of time doing physical, practical engineering work. Mechanical design background strong enough to understand basic principles and use CAD, but not necessarily a designu2011heavy engineer. Experience in medical devices is helpful but not required. General manufacturing backgrounds are welcome. Learns best by doing; thrives in an environment where many products are handu2011built and require engineering creativity. Adaptable and excited by short-cycle, fastu2011paced tasks rather than long multiu2011year R&D projects.

Experience supporting manufacturing or production environments, especially hand-built or precision assembly processes. Mechanical engineering degree with 1u20133 years of industry experience. CAD proficiency (Inventor preferred, but SolidWorks or similar acceptable) used as a tool, not the primary function. Strong documentation skills including writing protocols, test reports, or process documentation in a regulated or structured environment. Basic understanding of process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) OR demonstrated ability to learn it quickly. Comfort working with small, highu2011precision components, ideally with fiber optics, microu2011mechanisms, or fine detail assembly. Prior experience working under ISO 13485, MDR, or other regulated medical device standards. Exposure to fiberu2011optic components, illumination systems, or other lightu2011based technologies (nonu2011communicationsu2011focused). Understanding of risk management, CAPA processes, and quality system documentation. Experience creating or modifying tooling, fixtures, or test setups to support smallu2011scale assembly. Background in microu2011mechanical assemblies or fineu2011detail work requiring dexterity. Familiarity with process development for handu2011built or laboru2011intensive product lines. Prior involvement in internal or external audits or software-related compliance (e.g., Part 11 assessments).
