You’ll work closely with production technicians, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering teams to ensure builds are executed efficiently, materials are available, and documentation is accurate and compliant with regulated manufacturing standards.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing Engineering

• Support mechanical and electrical assembly, test, and build operations for MRI sub- systems and components.
• Develop and maintain Manufacturing Process Instructions (MPIs), Quality Assurance Procedures (QAPs), and work instructions.
• Support the design and implementation of fixtures, jigs, and tooling using SolidWorks or similar CAD software to improve manufacturability and reduce build time.
• Support the design and implementation of unit tests for MRI system and electrical subsystems and components.
• Participate in process optimization, layout planning, and workflow improvements on the manufacturing floor.
• Partner with the engineering team to transition electrical and mechanical builds from prototype to pilot and production phases.
• Document and report production data, including test results, deviations, and continuous improvement actions.

Supply Chain & Inventory Coordination

• Collaborate with the supply chain team to ensure material readiness for upcoming builds.
• Help maintain and update Bills of Materials (BOMs) and part metadata in ERP/MRP systems.
• Assist in creating and tracking purchase orders, part shortages, and supplier deliveries to support on-time builds.
• Coordinate with vendors on quality issues, delivery timing, and cost updates as needed.
• Support physical inventory counts, receiving inspections, and reconciliation activities.

Manufacturing Floor Management Support

• Work closely with floor technicians and production leads to ensure build schedules are met.
• Identify bottlenecks, support equipment maintenance coordination, and assist in prioritizing daily work orders.
• Reinforce quality and safety procedures in daily operations.
• Help document and escalate production or quality issues to engineering and management teams.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, Industrial, or related Engineering field.
• 1–3 years of experience in manufacturing, supply chain, or production engineering (medical device or regulated industry preferred).
• Experience with SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software.
• Experience with electrical subsystems such as amplifiers, power supplies, power distribution units, as well as engineering measurement tools such as network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, signal generator.
• Experience interacting with suppliers and creating purchase orders
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, or equivalent).
• Strong organizational, documentation, and time-management skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel or data tools for tracking and reporting.
• Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced, hands-on startup environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in medical device or regulated manufacturing (ISO 13485 environment).
• Understanding of Lean Manufacturing, 5S, or continuous improvement methodologies.
• Exposure to supplier qualification or quality management processes.
• Strong interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable with hands-on work on the production floor.
