What they need
This is a hands-on role where you'll be developing, dialing in, and scaling hybrid electronics manufacturing processes using cutting-edge print technologies like screen printing, gravure offset, and aerosol jet, alongside automated assembly tools. You'll be working in our Tech Hub, owning equipment and processes end-to-end, and seeing your work move from concept to physical product.
You will play a critical role in bringing new devices to life – working directly with designers to establish design-for-manufacturing (DfM) key criteria, defining process parameters and publish instructions, and collaborating with the manufacturing team to build and refine the product. When something doesn't work, you will work to identify, diagnose and resolve the issues, improving reliability and performance.
To move these technologies from prototype and pilot builds into production, you will use analytical tools and real manufacturing data to drive decisions and clearly communicate results to the team.
You do not need to be a printing or electronics assembly expert on day one. If you bring technical curiosity and strong problem-solving skills, we will train you to use the tools and follow the processes. What matters most is your willingness to learn, experiment, and take ownership.
Essential Job Functions and Responsibilities
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:
- Develop, optimize, and validate manufacturing processes for hybrid electronics, flexible circuits, and printed or embedded components.
- Own troubleshooting on the production floor—quickly diagnosing and resolving equipment, materials, and process issues.
- Analyze mechanical, electrical, and process data to uncover trends, improve yields, and drive continuous performance gains.
- Design and build custom manufacturing fixturing using CAD tools to enable repeatable, scalable production.
- Program and operate advanced fabrication tools, including robotic systems (e.g., Fanuc), laser platforms (e.g., LPKF), and optical inspection equipment.
- Create clear, practical manufacturing documentation and best practices for pilot and low-volume production across tools, processes, and materials.
- Train and mentor teammates on manufacturing best practices, including inkjet printing, optical inspection, and electrical testing.
- Work directly with vendors and technology partners to track emerging capabilities and continuously improve manufacturing performance.
- Serve as the subject matter expert for data-driven print tools (e.g., inkjet), owning program development, process optimization, characterization, supplier coordination, and spare parts strategy.
- Contribute to both tactical execution and long-term strategy for Fab Operations through active participation in technical and planning discussions.
- Maintain a safe, disciplined, and high-performance manufacturing environment at all times.
