Job Description

We are seeking a highly hands-on Manufacturing Engineering Technician to support critical system builds and day-to-day manufacturing line execution for an advanced surgical robotics platform. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being on the production floor, responds quickly when issues arise, and takes pride in keeping builds moving safely, compliantly, and on schedule. Working under the direction of the Builds & Line Support manager, this position will partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Planning, Quality, Materials, technicians, and other cross-functional teams. The role will focus on rapid issue resolution, build readiness, material coordination, equipment and fixture availability, and disciplined execution so engineering resources can remain focused on verification and validation (V&V) and other critical development work.

Provide hands-on floor support during engineering, development, verification, validation, and production builds to keep work moving safely and efficiently.

Respond quickly to line interruptions and build blockers; assess the issue, coordinate immediate containment, and engage the appropriate Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Production, or technical owner.

Support nonconformance (NC) activities, including containment, segregation, documentation, disposition coordination, and follow-through on assigned actions.

Troubleshoot mechanical, electromechanical, tooling, fixture, and process issues using approved procedures, drawings, work instructions, and engineering guidance.

Support the creation and execution of approved rework instructions, deviations, or temporary build instructions in partnership with Manufacturing Engineering and Quality.

Coordinate day-to-day build readiness and schedule execution with Production and Planning; identify risks early and escalate blockers with clear impact and urgency.

Confirm material availability before builds, assist with material triage, and escalate shortages, incorrect parts, or kitting issues to the responsible teams.

Support line moves, workstation adjustments, equipment placement, and other floor changes needed to execute planned builds.

Confirm that required tools, fixtures, equipment, consumables, and calibrated instruments are available and ready for use; promptly escalate downtime or maintenance needs.

Reinforce the current approved process revision and support technician training or retraining when work instructions or build requirements change.

Maintain accurate, timely documentation in applicable manufacturing and quality systems, including build records, issue logs, and action tracking.

Participate in daily stand-ups and build-readiness reviews; communicate status, risks, decisions needed, and unresolved actions clearly.

Identify recurring floor issues and provide observations and data to Manufacturing Engineering and Quality for root-cause investigation and longer-term corrective action.

Follow all safety, quality, compliance, and documentation requirements for a regulated medical-device manufacturing environment.

Skills and Requirements

3+ years of hands-on mechanical and electromechanical troubleshooting ability, with experience working directly on the manufacturing floor

Clear, concise communication with technicians, engineers, Quality, Production, Planning, and Materials teams.

Ability to read and follow engineering drawings, bills of material, work instructions, schematics, and standard operating procedures.

An associate degree in Mechanical Technology, Manufacturing Technology, Mechatronics, Electronics, Engineering Technology, or a related technical field is strongly preferred.

Experience in medical devices, aerospace, automotive, robotics, semiconductor equipment, or another regulated or high-reliability manufacturing environment.

Experience supporting engineering builds, pilot lines, NPI, verification builds, validation builds, or low-volume/high-mix production.

Familiarity with nonconformance workflows, material review, root-cause tools, rework documentation, and corrective-action processes.

Experience with manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), product lifecycle management systems (PLM), or electronic quality systems.

Familiarity with basic metrology, calibrated tools, torque tools, fixtures, and assembly equipment.

Lean manufacturing, 5S, standard work, or structured problem-solving experience.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal employment opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
