System One • Lakewood, NJ • 15h ago

Job Title: Engineering Manager, Manufacturing & Projects

Location: Lakewood, New Jersey

Type: Direct Hire

Compensation: $110,000 - $120,000

Contractor Work Model: Onsite (Lakewood, NJ)

Hours: Monday - Friday, 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Engineering Manager, Manufacturing & Projects

About the Role:

The Engineering Manager, Manufacturing & Projects role is designed for a high-performing Lead Engineer ready to expand beyond technical execution into owning projects, people, and manufacturing outcomes.

You'll lead engineering for a portfolio of gas drying, humidification, and sample conditioning products used across medical, environmental, and industrial applications. The work involves translating complex, high-performance designs into scalable, reliable, and compliant manufacturing systems. You won't just support production-you'll shape how products are built, improved, and scaled.

What You'll Own:

End-to-end manufacturing engineering across a diverse gas handling product portfolio

Project leadership from concept through production implementation

Design transfer and process scale-up for new products

Automation and cost reduction initiatives

A team of engineers, technicians, and machine shop personnel

Manufacturing readiness across regulated and performance-critical applications

Safety, compliance, and facility performance

Your Impact: Lead Projects & Deliver Outcomes:

Own engineering programs from concept through implementation (scope, budget, timeline)

Drive automation and cost reduction initiatives tied to business goals

Lead root-cause investigations and implement sustainable solutions

Communicate progress and influence decisions at the leadership level

Translate Complex Products into Scalable Manufacturing:

Develop processes for membrane-based systems, tubing assemblies, and gas flow devices

Ensure consistent performance in applications involving moisture removal, humidification, and gas purification

Lead validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) across product lines

Support a High-Mix Manufacturing Environment:

Build flexible processes for low-to-mid volume, high-mix production

Support products used in:

Medical (respiratory care, gas monitoring)

Environmental (emissions monitoring systems)

Industrial process applications

Grow Into People Leadership:

Lead, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team

Transition from hands-on execution to setting direction and enabling others

Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement

Drive Operational Excellence:

Implement lean manufacturing principles to improve throughput and reduce waste

Establish and maintain standardized work, PFMEAs, and process documentation

Ensure equipment reliability through preventive maintenance programs

Ensure Quality & Compliance:

Operate within FDA, ISO 13485, and ISO 9001 frameworks

Partner with Quality on CAPAs, audits, and risk management

Build systems that balance compliance with speed and practicality

Own the Manufacturing Environment:

Oversee equipment for precision assembly, extrusion, and gas/fluid systems

Lead facility improvements and expansion projects

Serve as Safety Officer, ensuring OSHA compliance and strong safety practices

What Makes This Role Different:

Clear step-up path: Designed for Lead Engineers moving into broader ownership

Project-centered leadership: You'll be measured on outcomes, not activity

Technical depth: Work on complex gas handling and membrane-based systems

High visibility: Direct impact on cost, quality, and delivery

Build & scale: Opportunity to shape processes, systems, and team structure

What You Bring:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, or related)

7+ years of experience, including time as a technical or project lead

Proven experience leading engineering projects end-to-end

Strong problem-solving skills in complex, multi-variable systems

Desire to grow into people and organizational leadership

Valued Experience:

Regulated manufacturing (medical device or similar)

Fluid systems, gas handling, filtration, or membrane technologies

Tubing, extrusion, or flow-control systems

Automation of assembly or testing processes

Lean / Six Sigma methodologies

Who Thrives Here:

Engineers ready to own projects, not just contribute to them

Leaders who want to build teams and systems from the ground up

Problem-solvers who move easily between hands-on work and strategic decisions

Individuals motivated by real-world product impact in critical applications

Success Looks Like:

Projects delivered on time, on budget, and with measurable impact

Scalable, stable manufacturing processes across product lines

Improved yield, efficiency, and product consistency

Strong alignment between engineering, quality, and operations

A capable, accountable, and growing engineering team
