Senior Manufacturing & NPI Engineer (Prototype to Low-Volume)

Description Razor Labs builds manufacturing lines for its own hardware. We're looking for a hands-on systems engineer to lead prototyping and low-volume assembly (tens to hundreds of units) — taking hardware from first builds to a repeatable process, designed with scale-up and BOM cost in mind.

Responsibilities

Lead prototype and pilot builds; turn lessons into a repeatable assembly process. Plan assembly flows, fixtures/jigs, and the right (minimal) automation — engineering simplicity first. Own the project plan (Gantt) and budget; design for scale-up with BOM cost awareness and DFM feedback to R&D. Define test and inspection strategy, including environmental testing where needed.

Measure and improve yield and rework with data; work daily with R&D, production, and vendors on the floor.

Requirements

B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering or related field. 7+ years of proven hands-on experience in manufacturing/NPI of electro-mechanical products. Experience taking hardware from prototype to production, even at low volumes. Automation and tooling know-how (fixtures, PLCs, sensors) — and the judgment of when not to automate.

Applied statistics and SW tools: Gantt/project planning, advanced Excel, data analysis (Minitab/JMP/Python or similar). Practical experience with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) for work automation — building workflows, agents/skills, and using them to accelerate engineering tasks. Budget ownership and vendor procurement experience.

Excellent interpersonal skills. Excellent English, written and spoken. Problem-solver with a can-do attitude — takes ownership and gets things built.
