About the Role

The Manufacturing Technical Lead (MTL) drives operational execution and technical readiness for next-generation hardware programs from concept through mass-production handoff. This role serves as the primary technical interface on the program team, bridging hardware design, software/firmware, factory NPI, and global operations. The MTL is responsible for mitigating manufacturing risks, completing hardware prototyping phases, and enforcing documentation and change controls.

Responsibilities

Translate complex engineering product intents and schematic parameters into practical, execution-ready directives for Factory NPI Managers and manufacturing sites.
Partner with internal Front-End, Back-End, and Test Engineering Senior Managers to ensure manufacturing infrastructure, SMT lines, box build automation, and test fixtures scale with prototyping phases.
Partner directly with hardware Design Technical Leads and Software Engineering Program Managers to align code, firmware, diagnostics, and silicon readiness with test schedules.
Own the execution matrix for all early-stage engineering and validation builds (Proto, EVT, DVT, PVT), ensuring timely completion and adherence to rigorous internal quality targets.
Author and enforce precise build-specific Scopes of Work (SOW) defining hardware configuration baselines, build quantities, material allocations, and specific engineering test goals.
Manage the live tracking, logging, and technical resolution of manufacturing anomalies, ensuring engineering deviations are strictly controlled, documented, and closed.
Deploy NUDD reviews, golden pFMEAs, and Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) parameter monitoring to prevent downstream yield and manufacturing shortfalls.
Enforce rigorous change management protocols, representing operations at Change Control Boards (CCB) to ensure proper risk assessment of design tweaks or component substitutions.
Utilize automated tracking frameworks (e.g., Jira) to monitor build blockers, spearheading technical workarounds or executing timely escalations to management.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in hardware NPI engineering, manufacturing technical leadership, or systems program management.
Strong knowledge of electronic manufacturing operations (SMT, box build, system assembly, and test methodologies).
Experience handling complex BOM structures and configuration lifecycles.
Proficiency with change control systems (PLM/CCB).
Proficiency with bug/issue-tracking systems (Jira).
Experience authoring detailed technical documentation such as Scopes of Work (SOWs).
Duties performed in a normal office environment.
Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor.
Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator) are frequently required.
Occasional travel may be required.
This location is a US ITAR facility and positions will involve the release of export controlled goods.
Applicants will need to provide information to determine if export control exemptions or licenses must be filed.
