Overview

Resonetics is a global leader in advanced engineering, prototyping, product development, and micro-manufacturing, driving innovation in the medical device industry. As we rapidly expand across all our locations, we continue to push the boundaries of technology while fostering a dynamic, employee-centered culture. Our commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement makes Resonetics an exciting place for professionals passionate about driving real impact in micro-manufacturing.

We are seeking a results-driven Manufacturing Engineer to lead innovation and process optimization in our life science manufacturing operations. This role will focus on two critical areas: developing and refining manufacturing technologies—including Nitinol processing, laser cutting, shape setting, electropolishing, and dimensional inspection using CMM equipment—and serving as a technical bridge between Quality, Production, and Process Development teams.

In this role, you will focus on optimizing manufacturing processes, improving production yields, and reducing cycle times. Key responsibilities include enhancing process stability, leading troubleshooting efforts for complex manufacturing challenges, establishing robust process controls, and training production personnel on best practices. You will also be responsible for generating and maintaining detailed work instructions, ensuring production readiness for new projects, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across existing processes.

This is a hands-on role, requiring strong leadership in the implementation of solutions, conducting thorough validations, and ensuring sustained performance improvements across multiple production lines.

Join Resonetics and become part of a forward-thinking team that is redefining the future of medical device manufacturing. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment where you can see the direct results of your contributions, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Sustain Nitinol production lines by resolving NCMRs, CAPAs, deviations, updating Work Instructions (WIs) and PFMEAs, and monitoring daily metrics such as yield and efficiency using SQDCT boards system.
  • Ensure the accuracy of ERP standards / routings by conducting time studies and promptly correcting any variances between actual operator performance and ERP standards to maintain accurate efficiency metrics.
  • Regularly update product cost using cost sheets and quote models to drive operations planning and site strategy.
  • Utilize root cause analysis tools such as DMAIC or A3 to lead investigations into customer complaints, process yield improvements, and defect reduction.
  • Execute equipment qualifications (IQs, OQs), Test Method Validations (TMVs), and process validations (PQs) for new product introductions or transfers, ensuring a smooth transition from Process Development to Production.
  • Track and manage assigned CAPEX projects and expenses, ensuring alignment with site objectives and cost-efficiency.
  • Lead assigned Continuous Improvement Projects (CIP) for existing manufacturing lines to drive cost savings through yield improvements, enhanced operational efficiency, labor optimization, material savings, and more, while providing regular project updates to the staff team.
  • Support troubleshooting of production equipment (Lasers, welders, furnaces, EP benches, OGPs, etc.) during downtime events to minimize disruption and ensure swift recovery of manufacturing lines.
  • Ensure compliance with QMS and ISO 13485 standards in all production, validation, and project execution activities.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in a Manufacturing Engineering role, preferably within the medical device industry or a regulated environment.
  • BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to create and update detailed process documentation such as validation protocols and reports. Excellent verbal communication skills to present effectively to production groups, suppliers, customers, and cross-functional teams.
  • Experience with Lean manufacturing methodologies, including line balancing, waste elimination, Kaizen, root cause analysis (Ishikawa), and other continuous improvement tools.
  • In-depth knowledge of Quality System Regulations (QSR), risk assessment tools (PFMEA), and ISO 13485, ensuring compliance throughout manufacturing and validation activities.

Compensation

Pay Range $85,000-95,000
