• Lead design transfer from R&D prototypes to in-house pilot production: convert one-off prototype builds into controlled, repeatable processes a technician can execute independently

• Design and build fixturing, select and implement new equipment on our pilot line

• Develop, release, and maintain build documentation — work instructions, BOMs, LHRs, assembly drawings, inspection criteria, and test procedures. Train manufacturing team on new content.

• Collaborate with R&D to drive DFX improvements

• Coordinate with Quality to ensure compliance with industry standards and implement risk-based quality control for products

• Schedule and coordinate builds with the onsite manufacturing team; troubleshoot issues in real time

• Manage inventory and kitting with technician(s); partner with Supply Chain/Procurement Team on sourcing, part qualification, and vendor management

• Track yield, first-pass quality, and build data; drive root cause analysis and implement improvements based on data

• Own handoff to contract manufacturing in partnership with our Supply Chain team: create documentation packages, and manage the transition as volume or maturity outpaces internal capacity

• Bachelor's in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering (or equivalent experience)

• 1–4 years in manufacturing/NPI engineering, ideally in single-use medical device, diagnostics, or biopharma consumables manufacturing

• Experience with design transfer, design controls, and documentation practices 

• Experience with process/equipment validation concepts (IQ/OQ/PQ) is a plus, even if not required in our current environment

• Comfortable working hands-on with technicians, reading CAD/drawings, and working in a cleanroom manufacturing environment

• Experience qualifying and working with contract manufacturers or suppliers

• Statistical tools (SPC, capability studies) and risk management

• Superb communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills; comfortable in a fast-paced, startup environment

• Exceptional organization skills and proven ability to work on multiple fast-paced projects simultaneously

• Prior experience at a hardware startup or robotics company

• Familiarity with biomanufacturing or lab automation

• Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., GMP,  FDA 21 CFR 820.30, ISO 13485)

• Experience with the manufacturing of precision machine components (this role is primarily consumables based, but may have some overlap with capital equipment manufacturing)

• Ability to reach, stoop, crouch, and kneel, including entering and working inside a robotic cluster for maintenance, cleaning, or intervention

• Ability to lift up to 25 lbs (equipment, parts, tools) and up to 5 lbs overhead

• Manual dexterity to use hand tools, manage cabling, and perform mechanical adjustments

• Work primarily in a manufacturing area adjacent to a lab; must follow strict safety protocols (e.g., BSL-2) and maintain situational awareness

• Potential exposure to hazardous materials, including biological agents and cryogenics, while servicing equipment

• Required use of PPE (cleanroom gowns, gloves, safety glasses, etc.) for extended periods

• Standard work schedule with occasional evenings, weekends, or on-call support for critical issues or time-sensitive manufacturing needs
