Anthropic; Friendly (MD); Hybrid; USD 320,000 - 405,000; Full time

Job summary

Anthropic is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to own how server racks and accelerator systems are built at contract manufacturers. You will design assembly, integration, and test processes, lead new line and site bring-ups, and drive yield, cycle time, and cost improvements while partnering with product engineering and quality teams.

This hands-on role requires on-site work with up to 50% travel to partner factories in the US and abroad, emphasizing manufacturability feedback, PFMEA, control

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process engineering for complex electromechanical or electronics products built at CM/ODM.
• Designed and released production processes end to end with line layout, work instructions, fixtures, and test, owning yield and cycle time in mass production.
• Led a new line or site bring-up at a manufacturing partner.
• Experienced with PFMEA, control plans, SPC, process capability, gauge R&R, DFM/DFT, and 8D.
• Comfortable on the factory floor diagnosing process problems from telemetry and observation.
• Clear communication with partner engineers, operators, and leadership on readouts.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% domestically and internationally.
• Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

• Design and document the assembly, rack integration, and test process for new server and rack products, including work instructions, process flows, takt and cycle time targets, and line layout.
• Lead new line and new site bring-up at CM/ODM partners, from validation to mass production release.
• Specify, source, and validate tooling, fixtures, and test equipment.
• Own first-pass yield, cycle time, and process capability in production; run SPC and drive corrective actions with partners.
• Provide design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test feedback during development and pilot builds.
• Qualify process changes and engineering changes on the line, including PFMEA updates and control plan revisions.
• Replicate qualified processes across lines/sites without yield or throughput regression.
• Collaborate with product engineering, test engineering, quality, and supply chain to reduce per unit cost.
