At Formlabs, we’re building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we’re helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before. We’re a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you’re ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us. If you’re excited to help us shape ways of working, solve production line challenges, scale manufacturing capacity, and transition new hardware products into steady-state production, we want you as an Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Manager for our global headquarters team in Boston. It’s worth noting that this is not like the typical shop floor manufacturing engineering management role at a manufacturing plant.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the activities of a team of manufacturing engineering professionals responsible for supporting an extended team of global manufacturing, supply chain, quality professionals
Ongoing sustainment of manufacturing lines at our contract manufacturers + transition into production and support
Characterize process & product failures on our manufacturing line, root cause investigations, corrective actions, and mistake-proofing at suppliers and contract manufacturers for component/module/product new builds and refurbishments
Own manufacturing process (e.g. assembly, printer calibration, verification testing, etc.) control and issue prevention
implementing tools, equipment and process methods to ensure industry-leading reliability, quality, and yield
Drive team collaboration and support across projects/programs as a player coach on complex engineering and operational challenges
Own manufacturing technical readiness as a critical member of our cross-functional NPI teams, with specific emphasis on manufacturing return of experience, producibility, cost effectiveness, industrialization
negotiate conflicting requirements, identify lessons-learned and DFM/DFA/DFSS opportunities and share/escalate to upstream design engineers and downstream sustaining engineers
Manage the details of transition into manufacturing or industrialization, including resolution of first article inspections (FAI) and product/fixture assembly issues
drive maturity of manufacturing readiness
secure mass production capacity, throughput, yield, and process capability
Requirements:
B.S. degree in engineering
mechanical, manufacturing engineering, aerospace, industrial, or related/equivalent field
3+ years experience in an engineering management or engineering team leadership role
5+ years of technical skills, preferably experience in manufacturing engineering roles for complex electro-mechanical product industrialization at scale, including machined, sheet metal, injection molded, PCBA, linear motors, LCD, cables, and plastic components
Experience with remotely managed NPI and contract manufacturers, including transitioning high accuracy products from prototype to mass production
Expertise in production quality metrics, GD&T, and process/equipment qualification procedures
Proficient in methods for statistical analysis (e.g. DOE, comparison testing, Gage R&R), structured problem solving (e.g. A3, 8D, DMAIC), fault-tree), and process control (e.g. statistical process control, process capability Cp/Cpk)
Willing to work onsite, in a fast paced environment, and occasionally coordinate with colleagues in different time zones during late evening local hours
Travel to vendors, suppliers, and production facilities (mostly in China) from time to time (~10-20%)
Nice to have:
Experience with Proto, EVT, DVT, PVT, and MP product development process & life cycle
A Six Sigma Black Green/Black Belt certified professional who can still apply and teach the problem solving and statistical body of knowledge
Have experience with data analysis tools (JMP, Minitab) and data visualization tool (Tableau, Power Bi, SQL, etc.)
On Shape of Solidworks CAD modeling skills
What we offer:
Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
