We are seeking a highly versatile and motivated Manufacturing Design Engineer (MDE) to lead the development of manufacturing processes and equipment for precision brittle products (e.g., glass, ceramics, crystals).

We are open to candidates who specialize in custom equipment development (automation, CNC, processing). In this role, you will bridge the gap between product design and mass production, acting as a deep technical expert to ensure our complex components can be manufactured at scale with exceptional yield, performance, and quality.

Description
Process & Equipment Development: Lead the architecture, design, and qualification of custom manufacturing equipment or end-to-end processes for brittle materials. This includes driving solutions for CNC machining, polishing, Ion Exchange (IOX), pad printing, and precision assembly.

External Vendor Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for external Equipment vendors (driving design, URS, FAT/SAT) and Contract Manufacturing (CM) vendors (driving factory bring-up, high-volume integration, and continuous improvement).

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Navigate a complex internal matrix to bring products to life:
- Partner with Product Designers (PDs) on Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
- Collaborate with Manufacturing Quality Engineers (MQEs) to establish robust quality control plans and inspection criteria.
- Align with Global Supply Managers (GSMs) and Capex GSMs on commercial strategies, equipment budgets, and vendor selection.

Advanced Problem Solving: Utilize Design of Experiments (DOEs), failure analysis, and data-driven root cause analysis to resolve complex manufacturing defects, improve yields, and stabilize processes.

Preferred Qualifications
Higher education background (Master or Ph.D.) is highly preferred.
Prior experience successfully scaling early-stage hardware technologies into high-volume consumer electronics mass production.
Ability to travel internationally to CM and vendor sites as required to support equipment bring-up and qualification.

Minimum Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical discipline.

Experience: 5+ years of hands-on working experience in manufacturing process engineering, and custom equipment development.

Domain Expertise: Deep technical knowledge in the handling and processing of brittle materials, accompanied by expert-level proficiency in the following areas: (1) Custom equipment design and process parameter optimization for CNC, polishing, IOX, pad printing, and assembly.

Partnership: Proven track record of successfully managing external equipment suppliers and CM partners.

Communication: Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with highly technical design teams (PD), quality/operations teams (MQE), and business/sourcing teams (GSMs).
