About the role
Principal Manufacturing Engineer
Onsite in Redmond, WA
8+ Years of experience required
Max bill rate: $144.67 hourly
BS/MS degree in the fields of Mechatronics engineering, Mechanical engineering, Process Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or related area, or equivalent work experience required.
Job Description:
We are looking for a skilled and motivated Manufacturing Engineer to join our team, whose mission is to design, build, and test prototype systems for future consumer VR and AR experiences. We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in driving development of novel manufacturing processes from concept to pilot‑production to deliver reliable, high performance hardware prototypes. The development of state‑of‑the‑art processes and prototypes will require the intersection of novel materials, mechanical, electrical, and software fields. The successful candidate will possess experience with a wide variety of manufacturing processes, be comfortable driving a team of engineers to rapidly develop and scale novel manufacturing processes, and have the ability to work with a team of researchers with tolerance for a high degree of ambiguity.
Responsibilities:
Drive Manufacturing Engineering team, system integration activities, and DFx in a cross‑functional work environment to deliver reliable, high performance hardware prototypes
Scale state‑of‑the‑art hardware prototypes from concept to pilot‑production volumes
Grow in‑house manufacturing capabilities and manage external manufacturing partnerships
Raise the bar for manufacturing excellence and best practices by developing, and continuously improving, processes and relationships which empower researchers and design engineers to build increasingly complex systems
Required Qualifications:
BS/MS degree in the fields of Mechatronics engineering, Mechanical engineering, Process Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or related area, or equivalent work experience
8+ years of experience scaling processes to pilot‑production or mass manufacture, and implementing quality control procedures to resolve processing problems
Experience with a wide variety of manufacturing techniques for robotics, soft wearable devices, including textiles, polymer processing, electromechanical integration, lamination, and adhesive bonding
Experience designing and implementing process development plans, design of experiments (DOE), establishing critical process parameters and quality control strategies
Project management skills with experience directing priorities to a cross‑functional team to meet schedule milestones and stakeholder requirements
Desired Qualifications: 10+ years working on early product manufacturing development
Experience with design and/or production of robotic systems
Experience with mass production of systems requiring multiple manufacturing processes such as: miniature motorized mechanisms; soft goods cutting, laminating, and kitting; active optical alignment, casting, molding, machining, electronics packaging, coatings, additive manufacturing
Experience in the domain of design for manufacturing, assembly, or reliability
Experience with industry CAD software, such as NX or related programs
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
