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.

This role is highly visible and business-critical as the team continues to ramp up production and engineering support activities.

• 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
• Career growth and advancement opportunities
• Collaborative and innovation-driven work environment
