Job summary

Mack Molding Co. is seeking a mid‑to‑senior level Manufacturing Engineer to translate brilliant designs into reliable, scalable builds. You’ll work on front‑line products with hands‑on troubleshooting on the floor, design reviews with customers, and pilot lines coming to life quickly.

You will lead complex electro‑mechanical assemblies, collaborate directly with customers on DFM/DFT, and drive process development and continuous improvement for full production readiness.

Qualifications

• A B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Biomedical, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• Strong experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT).
• Excellent electro‑mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting instincts.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing secondary operations.
• Leadership experience guiding teams and operations through cGMP requirements.
• Clear, confident verbal and written communication.
• Enjoys hands‑on work, design, process development, pilot manufacturing, and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Lead manufacturing engineering for complex electro‑mechanical assemblies from design input to pilot builds and full production.
• Partner with customers applying DFM, DFA, and DFT to ensure buildability, testability, and cost‑effectiveness.
• Develop, validate, and launch new manufacturing processes and drive continuous improvement.
• Lead cross‑functional teams and mentor engineers and technicians.
• Provide cGMP direction to operations for medical and regulated programs.
• Break down complex builds into WBS and teach execution.
• Troubleshoot root causes of electro‑mechanical problems.
• Apply and optimize secondary operations like pad printing, silk screening, ultrasonic welding, and inserting.

Job description

The Role

We’re looking for a mid to senior level Manufacturing Engineer who wants more than a desk and a spreadsheet. You’ll work side by side with some of the best engineers in the world on front-line products, often before they reach the market. You’ll be customer-facing, the person who turns a brilliant design into something that can be built reliably, repeatedly, and at scale.

This job is for the engineer who wants it all: hands‑on troubleshooting on the floor in the morning, design reviews with a customer at lunch, and a pilot line coming to life by the end of the week.

What You’ll Do

• Lead manufacturing engineering for complex electro‑mechanical assemblies, from early design input through pilot builds and full production.
• Partner directly with customers, applying DFM, DFA, and DFT principles so their designs are buildable, testable, and cost‑effective.
• Develop, validate, and launch new manufacturing processes, then keep improving them through continuous improvement initiatives.
• Lead multiple cross‑functional teams at once, and supervise and mentor other engineers and technicians.
• Provide cGMP direction and guidance to operations, especially for medical and other regulated programs.
• Break complex builds into clear work breakdown structures (WBS), and teach others to execute them with confidence.
• Troubleshoot electro‑mechanical problems at their root.
• Apply and optimize secondary operations including pad printing, silk screening, ultrasonic welding and inserting, and thermal welding and inserting.

What You Bring

• A B.S. in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Biomedical, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• Strong, proven experience with Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT).
• Excellent electro‑mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting instincts.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing secondary operations.
• A track record of leading teams, supervising others, and guiding operations through cGMP requirements.
• Clear, confident verbal and written communication, whether you’re presenting to a customer or training a new operator.
• A real enjoyment of variety: hands‑on work, design, process development, pilot manufacturing, and continuous improvement, all in the same role.

Where You Can Go

We don’t just hire engineers. We grow them.

• A clear path up: structured engineering levels that lead all the way to Manufacturing Engineering Manager.
• Room to move: opportunities across our plants and other divisions, so your career can grow in more than one direction.
• Investment in you: ongoing job training and development, backed by a company with significant year‑over‑year growth.
• Stability you can count on: a debt‑free, privately held company with more than a century of staying power and a diverse customer portfolio across five major markets.
