Job Description:

As Manufacturing Engineering Lead you'll be the technical anchor for one of Torus's core product lines. You'll own the day-to-day engineering execution on the manufacturing floor — fielding technical questions as they arise, solving process problems in real time, driving design-to-manufacturing transitions, and keeping projects moving. This is a hands-on, in-the-work role. You're the person engineers and production turn to first when something needs a technical answer, and you take pride in being that resource. You'll work alongside a team of manufacturing engineers on the line, with your impact measured by the quality, reliability, and throughput of what gets built.

Job Responsibility:

Serve as the go-to technical resource on the manufacturing line, fielding engineering questions and resolving issues as they arise in real time
Own day-to-day engineering execution on the line — keeping projects on track, removing blockers, and maintaining momentum
Lead process development, documentation, and continuous improvement efforts for assembly, test, and production
Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback and ensure smooth transitions from R&D and product engineering into production
Own and maintain critical manufacturing documentation including work instructions, process specs, BOMs, and engineering change orders
Identify and resolve technical problems that affect throughput, quality, or safety.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Product Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Production Operations
Support capacity planning, tooling and equipment decisions, and capital project scoping.
Other duties and projects as assigned

Requirements:

6+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or senior individual contributor capacity
Demonstrated experience with complex electromechanical or rotating machinery assembly and production processes
Proven ability to lead technical work across a team — setting direction, reviewing output, and holding the line on quality and timelines
Strong hands-on problem-solving skills with experience using structured methodologies (8D, FMEA, root cause analysis)
Proficiency with engineering documentation systems and change management processes
Experience driving design-to-manufacturing transitions and collaborating directly with product or R&D engineering teams
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field
Must have the ability to safely lift and move objects weighing up to 50 lbs.
Must be capable of standing, bending, and executing repetitive tasks for prolonged periods of time.
Ability to read, identify, observe and recognize details, color-coding and fine print at close range on associated engineering drawings.
Ability to don personal protective equipment to include, but not limited to, respiratory protective equipment with proper seal, coveralls, ear protection, gloves, eye protection & safety helmet.
Ability to observe, detect and respond to audible and visual machine malfunction warnings.
Ability to communicate information so others can understand. Must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations.
Must report to work reliably and with the ability to use full and unimpaired skills and judgment to safely execute your job.
Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English required.
Applicants must already have the legal authorization to work in the US without requiring any employer sponsorship.

Nice to have:

Experience with flywheel, rotating energy storage, or high-speed electromechanical systems
Experience with fabrication, machining, and/or electrical manufacturing processes
Familiarity with SolidWorks or similar CAD/PDM tools
Experience in a high-growth or startup manufacturing environment
