Manufacturing Engineer

Summary

Our client seeks a high-agency Manufacturing Engineer to own processes across NPI and mass production for our AI-enabled consumer hardware. Based in Taiwan, this is a flat startup role emphasizing end-to-end ownership, technology adoption, and bridging vendor/partner gaps—rather than layered management. Ideal for candidates seeking real product impact and Silicon Valley-style velocity over pure execution, with new launch and scale-up production ahead. 

Responsibilities

• Drive manufacturing process development, optimization, and ownership from NPI through mass production in Taiwan.   

• Bridge gaps between design, vendors, and production using AI tools, cross-functional collaboration, and practical problem-solving.   

• Support quality, yield, cost, and scalability improvements with hands-on involvement in both mechanical and electrical aspects (on-the-job training available).   

• Collaborate across ODM, branding, and multinational teams to ensure seamless transitions and continuous improvement.   

• Set direction on processes and adopt new technologies proactively in a lean, high-ownership environment; potential growth into lead responsibilities scaling with company needs. 

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering (EE); strong candidates in either discipline with willingness to learn the other via on-the-job training.   

• 10+ years of related experience in Manufacturing Engineering roles driving manufacturing processes from DFA/DFM to DOE and FATP. 

• Demonstrated process ownership, adaptability, and startup energy preferred over strict tenure or people-management focus.   

• Preferred: ODM experience plus branding or multinational communication exposure, end-to-end project ownership, and ability to close vendor gaps.   

• Cross-functional mindset, eagerness to learn, and comfort using AI tools to accelerate manufacturing outcomes. 

• Lean/Six Sigma certification a plus. 

• Based in or willing to work at the Taiwan production site; thrives in flat structures prioritizing impact and product involvement.
