Manufacturing Design Engineer - Mechanical

The Manufacturing Design Engineering (MDE) Team evaluates advanced manufacturing technologies and identifies scalable supply chain and process solutions that allow Technical Operations to bring next-generation consumer hardware products to market. We are seeking a Mechanical Manufacturing Design Engineer (MDE) with deep technical expertise in Tier-II mechanical secondary operations, surface finishing, and assembly processes. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering design (PD/ID) and volume operations, defining scalable process flows, qualifying fixtures and automation, and driving supplier technical execution from early NPI prototyping through mass production. The ideal candidate possesses demonstrated hands-on process engineering capability, understands the physics of materials and secondary operations, and can independently influence cross-functional decisions to balance design intent, cosmetic quality, high yields, and cost-effectiveness.
