Job Summary
Join the power movement as a Manufacturing Engineer
We are looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to captain our weekend operations. You will be the technical anchor for the 4th Shift ensuring that our production of high-temperature superconducting magnets continues safely and efficiently when the weekday engineering team is offline.
This role requires someone who can lead through influence make sound decisions under pressure and bring clarity to ambiguity in a fast-moving First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) manufacturing environment.
You will set the tone for the weekend team which will include keeping technicians focused engaged and operating at a high level while turning first-time challenges into scalable repeatable processes.
The Schedule:
Shift: Friday through Sunday 6:00 am - 6:00 pm
Salary Range:$100000 - 160000 (includes 10% shift differential)
What youll do:
Leadership Ownership & Decision-Making

Make timely high-quality decisions in ambiguous high-pressure situations with strong judgment
Balance production demands with safety and quality including making tough calls such as stopping work when needed
Lead through influence by driving alignment across teams without direct authority
Train mentor and elevate technician performance while maintaining accountability in a fast-paced environment
Technical Mentorship & Training
Actively train coach and develop technicians on high-precision manufacturing processes
Translate complex engineering requirements into clear actionable guidance on the floor
Lead through positive influence building trust and credibility with the team
Close knowledge gaps by reinforcing both the how and the why behind the work
Rapid Problem Solving & Escalation
Troubleshoot non-conformances in real time with a structured and decisive approach

- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and production systems
- Experience in FOAK or rapidly scaling manufacturing environments
Bonus points for:
- 8 years in high-complexity assembly environments
- Experience with insulation systems similar to the electric motor industry (e.g. stator winding VPI processes taping high-voltage isolation)
- Knowledge of statistical process control (SPC) and failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)
Must-have requirements:
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally
- Perform activities such as typing standing stooping and sitting for extended periods of time
