- Partner with Site Directors of Operations (who hold direct authority) to align engineering team performance, priorities, and development plans for each site's Engineering Manager.
- Coach Site Engineering Managers on quoting ownership, NPI execution, base business improvement, and people leadership - elevating their capability to fully own their site's engineering function.
- Identify engineering talent gaps, support recruiting of Site Engineering Managers and manufacturing engineers, and build bench strength across the network.
- Establish and track engineering Goals & Objectives (G&Os) at the site level, with regular cadence reviews with the VP of Engineering.
- Drive best practices, process standardization, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization
- Develop and deploy standard engineering processes, tools, and documentation across all sites
- Lead engineering-driven cost savings initiatives including scrap reduction, NCR reduction, WIP reduction, process yield improvement, and insourcing of outside operations.
- Drive lean manufacturing principles within the engineering function and support site-level lean transformation efforts.
- Research, develop, and support implementation of new manufacturing technologies
- Provide strategic support for quoting, NPI, and new program launches across all sites
- Partner with the Estimating Manager and site resources to align on process, standards, and accountability.
- Ensure site engineering teams are equipped and aligned to execute NPI projects on time, on cost, and to quality standards.
- Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) input at the site engineering level and ensure NPI PMs and MEs own the process end-to-end.
- Provide technical support for key customer quoting reviews, business development activities, and new business opportunity assessment including site selection and capability fit analysis.
- Provide technical expertise and capital investment guidance across the manufacturing network
- Provide technical guidance to site engineering teams across all Vantedge processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, large-format machining, precision stamping, EDM, and assembly.
- Develop and support equipment capacity analysis and capital investment strategy to ensure manufacturing capabilities match demand forecasts and growth targets.
- Provide engineering support for customer audits, key account reviews, and escalations.
- Home or office-based with regular travel to Vantedge sites (San Jose CA, Stockton CA, Rancho Cordova CA, Wheeling IL, Hudson NH, Durham CT, Wallingford CT) - estimated 30-40% travel
- Engineering or bachelor's degree in a technical field.
- Minimum 12-15 years of progressive experience in applicable precision manufacturing engineering, in a regulated industry, with at least 5 years in a people leadership role managing Engineering Managers or Senior Manufacturing Engineers
- Demonstrated experience serving on a Plant Leadership Team (PLT), equivalent site operations leadership role, or department lead.
- Proven track record of leading engineering teams through NPI programs including DFM, process development, quoting support, and production launch
- Strong working knowledge of CNC machining processes (Swiss turning, multi-axis milling, vertical/horizontal machining centers, etc.), sheet metal fabrication, welding, or precision stamping.
- Working knowledge of ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management systems.
- Exceptional people leadership and coaching skills with a demonstrated ability to develop direct reports and influence without direct authority across a matrixed organization
- Excellent communication skills - equally effective presenting to senior leadership, engaging with customers, and working on the shop floor
- Master of Business Administration (MBA)
- Multi-site engineering management experience
- Experience implementing lean manufacturing or Six Sigma methodologies with measurable results
- Experience in medical device contract manufacturing strongly preferred; other regulated industries (aerospace, defense) considered
- FDA registration familiarity preferred
- Strong experience in validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), DFM, and GD&T application preferred.
