Principal Manufacturing Engineer, Assembly
Job description
The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of experience spanning both high-volume assembly environments and rapid prototyping / NPI operations for complex electromechanical products. You should have a track record of standing up build operations from scratch, driving process development roadmaps, and influencing product architecture decisions — not just providing DFM feedback. This role requires strategic thinking, deep technical credibility, the ability to align cross-functionally, and the willingness to roll up your sleeves in an environment where requirements evolve quickly.
Key job responsibilities • Serve as the manufacturing voice in daily design trades — influence product architecture,…
