Manufacturing Engineer - Medical Device Sector

Salt Lake City, UT

Looking for an engineer who prefers a wrench over a whiteboard. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to improve how things get made - from designing jigs to streamlining validation. You'll work directly with operators, quality, and product teams to make sure manufacturing runs faster, cleaner, and with fewer mistakes.

The team is growing in response to demand. We need several engineers. Some for a high mix low volume line and some for a low mix high volume line. These engineers need to understand tolerances, the implications of material science and machine interactions. We love those with mechanical engineering backgrounds

If you've worked with catheters in regulated environments and like being close to the production floor, this is a solid next step.

Your day-to-day:
  • Build better processes: Help define and improve manufacturing workflows. That means less friction, higher throughput, and better repeatability.
  • Fixtures and tooling: Design and test tools that simplify builds. You'll get to see your designs in action.
  • Validation: You'll be expected to prove that processes work - and document them clearly. This isn't optional in med device work.
  • Standard work instructions: Write detailed, visual instructions that operators can follow. Revise them based on operator feedback and production results.
  • Problem-solving: When things break, you'll dig in, find root causes, and fix them. Fast.
  • Drive improvements: Suggest changes. Track the results. Help others do the same. Continuous improvement isn't a slogan here - it's how the team operates.
  • Lean thinking: Identify waste and reduce it. Line layouts, process steps, materials - it's all fair game.
Requirements:
  • Degree in mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, or materials engineering.
  • Familiarity with FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO13485 would be helpful. Previous medical device experience is a plus.
  • Experience with plastics, injection molding, press forming, and industrial equipment.
  • Can structure a problem and run analysis: DOE, FMEA, RCA risk-based decisions, statistics. Not just gut feeling.
  • Able to work across teams. Bonus if you speak Spanish.
  • Lean or Six Sigma certification helps - especially if you've applied it.
