The Transducer Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for owning and advancing the manufacturing engineering capability for transducer assemblies across volume production. This role exists to ensure design intent is faithfully realized in manufacturing, and that production processes are robust, repeatable, controlled, and scalable.

The engineer will lead manufacturing process definition, tooling and fixturing development, process capability improvement, and structured problem solving across transducer production lines. A strong emphasis is placed on change control, process stability, metrics‑driven decision making, and systems‑level quality.

This role requires hands‑on experience in urethane moulding at volume, not theoretical exposure or on‑the‑job training. The successful candidate will bring proven expertise in managing sensitive material processes, environmental controls, and defect prevention in high‑reliability electromechanical products.

Manufacturing Process Ownership

·        Own end‑to‑end manufacturing processes for transducer assemblies, from component preparation through final encapsulation and cure.

·        Translate product design intent into clear, manufacturable, and controlled processes, tooling, and work instructions.

·        Serve as the primary manufacturing engineering authority for transducer production lines.

Urethane Moulding & Encapsulation (Critical)

·        Lead and maintain robust urethane moulding processes suitable for high‑volume production.

·        Define and control critical process parameters including:

o   Material storage, conditioning, temperature, and moisture control.

o   Mixing methods (speed, time, ratio control).

o   Pour techniques (controlled, bottom‑up, single‑point pour methodology).

o   Venting strategies to prevent air entrapment.

o   Cure methods, including vacuum degassing and/or pressure curing where required.

·        Establish process windows and controls to minimize voids, moisture‑related defects, and variability.

·        Drive continuous improvement of encapsulation yield, reliability, and long‑term field performance.

Change Control & Process Governance

·        Own and enforce formal change control for manufacturing processes, tooling, materials, and parameters.

·        Ensure all changes are properly reviewed, validated, documented, and approved through established change management systems.

·        Partner with Product Development, Quality, and Operations to assess risk and impact of changes on cost, performance, and reliability.

Tooling, Fixturing & Automation

·        Design, specify, or review tooling and fixturing to ensure:

o   Process repeatability

o   Operator consistency

o   Protection of design intent

·        Collaborate closely with design engineers to review manufacturability early and avoid downstream rework.

·        Lead or support selective automation initiatives where justified by volume, quality, or safety.

Metrics, Systems & Quality

·        Apply a systems engineering approach to manufacturing quality, understanding interactions between materials, environment, tooling, operators, and equipment.

·        Define and track meaningful manufacturing metrics (yield, defect modes, process capability, rework, scrap).

·        Partner with Quality to:

o   Perform root cause analysis on defects and escapes.

o   Implement corrective and preventive actions that address system‑level causes, not symptoms.

·        Support PFMEA, control plans, and validation activities.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

·        Work directly with Product Development Engineering to:

o   Understand design intent.

o   Influence design for manufacturability and robustness.

·        Work closely with Process Engineering, Quality, and Operations to identify gaps and implement durable solutions.

·        Reduce dependency on external vendors by building internal manufacturing engineering capability and ownership.

Required Qualifications:

• Significant experience in manufacturing engineering, preferably in electromechanical or encapsulated products.
• Demonstrated, hands‑on experience with urethane moulding at production scale (not laboratory or prototype only).
• Proven experience establishing and controlling sensitive material processes involving temperature, moisture, mixing, and curing.
• Strong background in change control and process validation.
• Experience applying metrics and structured problem‑solving methods to manufacturing quality issues.
• Ability to read, interpret, and influence engineering drawings and tolerancing.
• Comfortable working directly on the factory floor as well as in design reviews.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and Spanish.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience).
• Certified Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Green Belts (GB) and Black Belts (BB).
• Experience with vacuum degassing, pressure curing, or similar advanced encapsulation techniques.
• Exposure to transducer, sensor, or acoustic product manufacturing.
• Experience working within PLM and ERP systems.
• Familiarity with regulated or high‑reliability manufacturing environments.
