Senior Manufacturing & NPI Engineer (Prototype to Low-Volume)

Job 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.

* 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.
