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.
