NPI Manufacturing Engineering Lead

Job Description

Job Description

Step into the role that launches products from concept to volume production

As our NPI Manufacturing Engineering Lead, you’ll be the center of gravity for new product introductions—turning customer requirements into stable, compliant, and cost-effective manufacturing processes. Your day blends collaboration, hands-on problem solving, and strategic communication that keeps our plant, suppliers, and customers aligned.

A day in your life here

You start with a quick stand-up across customer service, manufacturing, quality, scheduling, and purchasing. Together, you align on priorities for upcoming transfers and sustaining work on legacy products. Next, you review customer specs and build out Device Master Records (DMR) , ensuring processes and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) set the launch up for quality, cost, and delivery success. Midday, you lead a project call as the project manager—confirming timelines, quality checkpoints, and adherence to ISO, FDA , and customer requirements. In the afternoon, you finalize a project quote—factoring cost estimates, pricing margins, and corporate financial goals—then step onto the floor to validate processes and tackle any Non-Conformance Material Reports (NCMR) from post-production. You wrap by communicating site-specific initiatives that drive departmental, plant, and corporate operational goals.

How you’ll make an impact

• Coordinate cross-functionally (customer service, manufacturing, quality, scheduling, purchasing) to plan and execute new product introductions and sustain existing products.
• Serve as the primary liaison between customers and internal teams for both new and legacy projects.
• Own project management for new product launches—quality, schedule, on-time delivery, and compliance with ISO, FDA , and customer specifications.
• Create and manage DMRs , define manufacturing processes, and drive DFM to optimize cost, quality, and delivery.
• Prepare comprehensive quotes, including cost estimation and pricing margins aligned with corporate financial objectives.
• Guide product transfers through internal volume production, supplier partners, and customer locations.
• Oversee post-production activities and manage NCMR to protect compliance and product quality.
• Champion continuous improvement (Lean, Six Sigma, or similar) and support quality, operations, and purchasing to hit corporate targets.
