Impact In This Role

Your role as a Manufacturing Engineer will be to support and drive improvement to our critical manufacturing functions.

At Fictiv, we believe in creating the world’s premier platform for hardware manufacturing, and you’ll be playing a critical role in making that happen
In your role as the Manufacturing Engineer, you will be reviewing and analysing the manufacturability and costs associated with fabrication (including CNC machining, 3D printing, and other manufacturing processes) submitted by our builders. In this role, you’ll also be using your Mechanical Engineering background and knowledge of manufacturing processes in order to determine what design changes may need to be made to our builders’ design specifications in order to meet their needs. By developing highly competitive proposals and quotations that meet the requirements called out by our customers, you will be assisting in bringing products to market faster in a wide range of industries (and helping to accelerate Fictiv’s growth).
You will be reporting to the Director of Manufacturing Engineering (US) & Global Standards.
