About the role

Senior Manufacturing Engineer responsible for developing and implementing repeatable, high-yield manufacturing and assembly processes, supporting NPI through production, and collaborating across Mechanical, Electrical, and Software teams within Aescape’s hybrid NYC-based Operations environment.

Responsibilities

  • Manufacturing Process Development: Develop repeatable, high-yield manufacturing and assembly processes for components, assemblies, and subassemblies. Drive continuous improvement, cost reduction, and production optimization across the supply chain, running trials to validate improvements and ensure high yield.
  • Production Line Setup: Work hands-on with suppliers to set up and ramp the production line, optimizing layout, line balancing, and material flow to meet target cycle times and throughput.
  • Design for Manufacturability: Participate in new product design and development to ensure manufacturability and production efficiency.
  • Assembly & Build Support: Support the assembly and build of parts and subassemblies hands-on; develop and validate assembly processes, work instructions, and fixtures for repeatable production. Support the bring-up of new contract manufacturers and suppliers, and installation and service procedures as required.
  • Factory & Supplier Implementation: Define and deploy manufacturing processes, workstation layouts, fixtures, and gauges at our contract manufacturer and key suppliers. Lead PFMEA and Control Plan development to control process risks prior to production.
  • Documentation & Data Management: Maintain process documentation, updating SOPs and work instructions with the manufacturer. Ensure manufacturing and inspection data is captured, uploaded, and reviewed promptly, and build reports and dashboards that surface and prioritize the highest-impact issues. Establish a closed-loop process for issue resolution, tracking issues to closure in Jira and managing document release in Arena.
  • First Article Validation: Assemble and validate first-article components through the NPI phases, hands-on in the office or on-site at the manufacturer, and support approval of FAI data covering dimensional, cosmetic, and assembly inspection.
  • Issue Resolution & Root Cause: Lead failure analysis with our suppliers, Quality, Mechanical, Electrical, and Software Engineering to drive issues to root cause and verify corrective actions are effective. Support resolution of quality issues across components, assemblies, and suppliers — including containment, audits, and corrective actions.
  • Testing Support: Support the reliability and manufacturing test program as needed, including deploying test stations and rigs at suppliers, setting up data collection and analysis, reviewing and reporting results.

Qualifications

  • BS in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline
  • 8+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in a hardware product environment (robotics, consumer electronics, medical devices, or similar)
  • Hands-On Manufacturing Engineering: Strong mechanical aptitude; comfortable developing and deploying manufacturing and assembly processes, building fixtures, and getting hands-on with the product on the line.
  • Supplier / CM Management: Direct experience driving performance and building relationships at contract manufacturers and key suppliers.
  • Process & Yield Focus: Track record of implementing highly repeatable, high-yield processes across plastics molding, metal fabrication, welding, and mechanical assembly with continuous improvement mindset.
  • NPI / Production Ramp: Experience taking products through EVT/DVT/PVT or similar phase-gate process into volume production.
  • Problem-Solving & Data-Driven Decisions: Structured root-cause analysis and corrective action; solid grasp of SPC, Cpk, Gauge R&R.
  • Communication & Collaboration: Strong written and verbal communication; ability to influence across stakeholders.
  • 3D Modelling: Experience with SolidWorks or equivalent CAD tool for fixture and process tooling design.
  • GD&T & Drawing Fluency: Ability to read engineering drawings and GD&T; resolve dimensional/tolerance issues with suppliers.
  • Ownership & Adaptability: Able to lead problems end-to-end in a fast-moving startup; comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Travel: Ability to travel domestically and internationally.
