Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Description

This position is ideal for a hands-on engineer with proven success in MES to ERP integration, deep understanding of PLM systems, and experience transforming engineering BOMs (EBOMs) into accurate, production-ready manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs). You will be instrumental in linking engineering, production, and enterprise systems to enable scalable, traceable, and efficient manufacturing.

This is not a traditional desk job. You’ll be building lines, integrating smart tools, and developing processes on the floor—all while ensuring data flows seamlessly from PLM to MES to ERP.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead MES (PICO) integration efforts with NetSuite ERP, enabling seamless data transfer between manufacturing execution and business operations.
• Collaborate with engineering and product development teams to transform EBOMs into MBOMs, ensuring manufacturing accuracy, part consumption traceability, and lean execution.
• Manage and optimize NetSuite routing structures, work centers, and operation flows to reflect real-time shop floor processes.
• Configure and support smart tools, WIS stations, and barcode scanners, linking them into MES workflows and ensuring reliable data capture.
• Utilize Windchill PLM to validate product data, create manufacturing views, and manage change control for documentation and part revisions.
• Author and implement Standard Work Instructions (SWIs) and process documentation for new and existing products, ensuring repeatability and quality.
• Set up and launch new assembly lines and work cells for high-power electronic inverters with a focus on scalability and takt-time alignment.
• Identify bottlenecks and perform process optimizations using Lean and Six Sigma principles.
• Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective action planning for production issues.
• Work cross-functionally with Engineering, IT, Supply Chain, and Quality teams to improve workflows and data governance.
• Support rapid production ramp-ups and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience in a relevant technical field.
• 5+ years experience in a manufacturing engineering role within a startup or rapid-growth environment.
• Expertise in MES integration—specifically PICO MES—with ERP systems like NetSuite.
• Strong working knowledge of NetSuite routing, operations, and work order management.
• Proven ability to translate EBOMs to MBOMs in a PLM-integrated environment.
• Proficiency in Windchill PLM for BOM management, CAD data integration, and change control workflows.
• Proficient in Creo (3D CAD) for designing fixtures, layouts, and validating product manufacturability.
• Demonstrated success in building and scaling assembly lines, integrating smart tools, and implementing WIS systems.
• Strong understanding of material consumption accuracy, inventory planning, and part lifecycle management.
• Hands-on experience developing and optimizing standard work, process flows, and station balancing in a high-mix environment.
• Ability to lead in escalated timelines, responding quickly with practical solutions under pressure.
• Effective communicator across technical and non-technical audiences.
• U.S. work authorization required.

• Preferred (Not Required) Skills
• Six Sigma Green or Black Belt certification
• Familiarity with UL, ISO 9001, or other compliance frameworks
• Background in power electronics, PCB assembly, or electro-mechanical systems

What You’ll Get

• Opportunity to lead systems integration and build world-class manufacturing from the ground up
• Work in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
• Access to cutting-edge digital tools and a collaborative, forward-thinking team
• Competitive salary, benefits, and growth opportunities

Personal Attributes

• Strategic Thinker: Ability to develop and execute long-term strategies while managing day-to-day operations.
• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Problem Solver: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proactive approach to addressing challenges.
• Team Player: Collaborative mindset with the ability to work effectively across teams and departments.

Salary: $105,000 - $130,000
