Manufacturing Design Engineer - Scale High-Volume Hardware

Neros Technologies; Torrance (CA); On-site; USD 113,000 - 157,000; Full time

Job summary

Neros Technologies in Torrance, CA is seeking a Manufacturing Design Engineer to bring complex hardware from concept to high‑volume production. You will collaborate across Engineering, Test, and Operations to develop robust manufacturing processes, tooling, and assembly solutions with hands‑on rigor.

This role requires strong experience in DFM/DFA, SPC, tolerance analysis, and cross‑functional leadership to drive yield, quality, and throughput as products scale toward production ramps and beyond.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 2+ years of experience developing and scaling manufacturing processes for complex electro‑mechanical products in consumer electronics, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or similar industries.
• Proven experience leading DFM/DFA efforts and driving design changes that improve manufacturability, quality, cost, and production throughput
• Hands‑on experience designing and deploying manufacturing tooling, fixtures, assembly equipment, and automation solutions for production environments
• Strong understanding of statistical process control (SPC), process capability analysis (Cpk), DOE, tolerance analysis, and root‑cause problem solving methodologies
• Experience supporting products through DVT, PVT, and production ramp, including manufacturing validation, process qualification, and yield improvement activities
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or equivalent)
• Strong GD&T, tolerance stack‑up analysis, and driving manufacturable design requirements across mechanical assemblies and supplier components
• Demonstrated ability to analyze manufacturing data and drive improvements in yield, cycle time, quality, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
• Experience working closely with cross‑functional teams including Product Design, Test Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations to deliver successful product launches
• Strong communication and project leadership skills with a track record of independently driving complex technical projects from concept through high‑volume production

Responsibilities

• Bring complex hardware products from concept to high-volume production with cross-functional collaboration across Engineering, Test, and Operations.
• Develop robust manufacturing processes, tooling, and assembly solutions.
• Lead manufacturing readiness activities through DVT, PVT, and initial ramp.
• Drive improvements in yield, quality, throughput, and cycle time.
• Influence product design through DFM and DFA principles.
• Own manufacturing systems and scale production.
