We’re hiring for an engineer who owns what they ship. This isn’t a process babysitter role. You’ll take over once design wraps and be responsible for everything until the product leaves the building, production systems, tooling, throughput, and quality.
This is a hands-on role in a high-performance environment. You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams to push new capabilities into production and make them stick. If you’ve led from the floor and delivered under pressure, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Owning full system responsibility from design handoff to product out the door
• Leading implementation of new manufacturing processes and capabilities
• Designing and improving tooling to streamline production lines
• Writing clear, practical work instructions for operators and technicians
• Driving fixes and optimizations through real-time feedback and hands-on debugging
What You Bring
• 3+ years in fast-paced engineering or manufacturing environments
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field from a top-tier or Ivy League school
• Major contributor to SAE or rocket teams during undergrad
• CAD fluency in SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent
• Experience working with MES/ERP systems like Warpdrive, Manufacturo, SAP
• Solid understanding of first principles problem solving and practical systems thinking
• Exposure to electrical engineering or experience collaborating with embedded/hardware teams
How You Work
• You move fast and solve problems directly
• You build systems that are reliable under pressure
• You’re accountable to outcomes, not just tasks
• You don’t wait for permission to improve the process
This is a role for engineers who care about what happens after the design handoff. If you’re ready to take full ownership of systems that ship at scale, and thrive in an environment where the standard is high, we want to hear from you.
Apply now if you’re ready to lead from the floor and own the outcome.
