Manufacturing Engineer – PCBA & Contract Manufacturing (Local Candidates only)
Please read the requirements before applying.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer role where you’ll have real ownership — from new product introduction through full production. You’ll work directly with customers, Program Management, and the production floor to improve processes, solve problems, and influence how products are built.

If you enjoy being close to manufacturing, driving improvements, and seeing the results of your work on the floor, this role offers visibility, impact, and variety.

Local candidates only. This is an on-site position; relocation assistance is not available.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Support NPI from pilot builds through mass production
  • Partner with customers and internal teams to meet manufacturing requirements
  • Perform DfA / DfM analysis and recommend design improvements
  • Troubleshoot production issues and support the manufacturing floor
  • Drive Lean manufacturing, yield improvement, and cost reduction initiatives
  • Develop value stream maps, TAKT time studies, and process improvements
  • Lead or support root cause analysis, PFMEA, and process control plans
  • Recommend capital equipment and support automation projects

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years Manufacturing or Process Engineering experience
  • MUST have Contract manufacturing background(CM) with PCBA and mechanical assemblies
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent experience
  • Experience with CAM tools (Valor, CAM350, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar)
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and project ownership skills
  • Current San Jose-area residency

Why Engineers Apply

  • High-impact role with real decision-making authority
  • Hands-on manufacturing environment (not a desk-only role)
  • Direct exposure to customers and cross-functional teams
  • Opportunity to influence processes, equipment, and automation
