Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer serves as the senior technical authority for assembly process and equipment design within the Industrialization team. This position designs the assembly lines, fixtures, and material flow systems that convert KARNO prototype and development builds into repeatable, scalable production operations — and then systematically removes waste, labor content, and variation from those operations. Working closely with industrialization leadership, design engineering, production, quality, and supply chain, the Senior Manufacturing Engineer owns the most complex assembly value streams end to end: line and station design, fixture and tooling design, material presentation and handling, process qualification, and continuous waste reduction. This position sets the technical standard for how assembly processes are designed and documented at customer, provides mentorship and design review for other manufacturing engineers, and is accountable for measurable improvement in cycle time, first-pass yield, labor content, and ergonomics across the assembly areas.

Skills and Requirements

Education, Experience and Certifications o Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering (or related field) required. o Advanced Technical or Business degree beneficial. o 10+ years of experience in a manufacturing engineering role, with significant exposure to engine, genset, electric motor, or precision electromechanical assembly operations. o Demonstrated ownership of assembly line and cell design, from concept layout through installed and qualified production use. o Demonstrated depth in fixture, jig, and tooling design — designed, built, qualified, and iterated, not specified and delegated. o Experience taking prototype and low-volume builds into repeatable production processes.
