- Design, build, and implement automated and semi-automated production lines
- Design fixtures, tooling, workstations, material-handling systems, and other production equipment
- Transform manual processes into automated processes through the implementation of integrated sensors, actuators and robotics
- Lead hands-on prototyping efforts when necessary
- Support inventory and materials management

- Previous experience as a Manufacturing Engineer
- Demonstrated experience taking a design from prototype to high-volume manufacturing
- Experience with DFM/DFMA

- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, technicians, and operators
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset and willingness to jump into challenges
