Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our connected beverage platform eliminates the need for single‑use bottles and cans, making it easy, fun, and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT‑enabled beverage technology, we’re building a future where Bevi machines are everywhere people live, work, and connect. We've raised over $160 M in venture capital, serve thousands of customers across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland, and we've been rapidly growing year over year, saving over 1 billion bottles from waste. In addition to driving hyper‑growth with our current product line, Bevi is heavily investing in new product development.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join our team and play a critical role in scaling and optimizing our manufacturing operations. This individual will act as the primary point of contact for all manufacturing‑related activities with one of our contract manufacturers (CM), overseeing day‑to‑day execution, production targets, and issue resolution. The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will also lead continuous improvement initiatives and process enhancements to ensure that our manufacturing capabilities can scale as we continue to grow rapidly. This role will involve close collaboration with various cross‑functional teams, including Engineering, Supply Chain, and Operations, to support the development and execution of robust manufacturing strategies. The ideal candidate will bring a mix of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership to drive performance excellence.

Support Manufacturing Operations: Serve as a day‑to‑day point of contact for manufacturing activities with our contract manufacturer, helping ensure operations align with Bevi’s production goals, quality standards, and timelines. Identify and implement improvements to processes, equipment, and materials that increase manufacturing efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Use data to help pinpoint bottlenecks and opportunities.

Support cross‑functional efforts to resolve manufacturing issues, including quality defects and operational inefficiencies. Apply structured problem‑solving methods to perform root cause analysis and help implement corrective actions.

Work with internal teams (Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality) and external partners (contract manufacturers, suppliers) to help ensure manufacturing processes meet Bevi’s quality and production standards.

Support Manufacturing Scalability: Contribute to initiatives that help Bevi’s manufacturing capabilities grow with the business, supporting the plans set by senior engineers and leadership.

Assist in working with suppliers and contract manufacturers, providing technical support for process improvements, testing procedures, and quality monitoring.

Create and maintain manufacturing documentation, including process flows, work instructions, and engineering change orders. Track and report on quality and reliability metrics.

Help implement design changes, product refreshes, and continuous improvements on existing product lines, working with design and manufacturing teams to integrate changes into production while maintaining quality, cost, and reliability standards.

Experience: 3–5 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, or process engineering, ideally in a fast‑paced or high‑growth environment.

Manufacturing Support: Experience supporting day‑to‑day manufacturing activities, ideally with contract manufacturers; helping manage design change cut ins, addressing assembly/test issues, and improving processes.

Process Improvement: Working knowledge of continuous improvement and lean manufacturing concepts (e.g., Six Sigma, SPC, Kaizen) and a track record of applying them to improve product quality, efficiency, and cost.

Solid problem‑solving skills, including exposure to structured methodologies such as 8D, 5 Whys, and root cause analysis.

Engineering Change Management: Familiarity with engineering change management systems and processes, and the ability to help execute product and process changes.

Ability to work effectively across engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations teams to help ensure products are manufactured to specification, on time, and within budget.

Experience working with suppliers or contract manufacturers, with an understanding of how quality and cost standards are maintained in production.

Data‑Driven: Strong analytical skills, with the ability to use data to inform decisions and measure the effectiveness of improvements.

Market‑driven – we anchor pay decisions in real‑time market data.

Performance‑based – we reward individual impact, not just tenure.
