Manufacturing Engineer II

$100k - $110k per year

VitalBio

About you:

You are a hands-on technical problem solver with deep experience in transferring products from R&D to manufacturing in a cGMP-regulated environment. You thrive where engineering, automation, and operations meet: designing, scaling, and optimizing manufacturing assembly processes that ensure quality, reliability, and efficiency. You approach each challenge with a disciplined, data-driven mindset, excel at cross-functional teamwork, and are energized by continuous improvement and innovation. You’re ready to contribute your expertise to help Vital Bio bring diagnostics to life.

What you'll do:
  • Lead the transfer of new products and manufacturing processes from R&D engineering and assay development into a cGMP manufacturing environment.

  • Design, develop, document and implement robust manufacturing processes and scale-up activities for consumable assemblies (reagents with molded plastic components) and diagnostic instruments.

  • Provide DFx feedback to ensure manufacturability, scalability, and cost effectiveness of new designs.

  • Define and evaluate different assembly strategies, identify automation opportunities, and maintain cost-effective, high-quality, repeatable operations; including Make/Buy decisions and third-party transfers.

  • Develop process flow maps, optimize assembly sequences applying lean principles, and recommend new processes/equipment.

  • Serve as the manufacturing subject matter expert, identifying risks and mitigation strategies related to process steps, raw materials, and product performance (and their interactions) throughout tech transfer.

  • Collaborate cross functionally with R&D engineering, assay development, manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure effective inventory management and material supply for verification and validation needs.

  • Establish and maintain manufacturing controls and documentation, including SOPs, work instructions, and acceptance plans, in compliance with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, and cGMP.

  • Plan and execute comprehensive validation protocols for equipment, facilities, and processes (IQ, OQ, PQ and TMV).

  • Perform root cause analysis for manufacturing failures with cross-functional teams and implement process improvements.

What you need:
  • Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline.

  • 5+ years’ significant manufacturing engineering or related operational experience in diagnostics or similar fields combining biologicals/reagents with injection-molded plastics.

  • Proven ability to apply critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and experimental design to solve complex manufacturing problems.

  • Working knowledge of tech transfer, cGMP processes, process validation / /qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ/TMV), and regulated manufacturing environments.

  • Strong familiarity with manufacturing of reagents, consumables, and instruments for IVDs, tech transfer, cGMP processes, and validation/qualification requirements.

  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously.

  • Experience with statistical process controls (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), and data analysis (Minitab, JMP, Excel).

  • Excellent communication skills and sharp attention to detail.

  • Highly organized with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.

Bonus points for:
  • Six Sigma and/or Lean certification, with practical experience using these tools for process improvement.

  • Prior experience with high-volume automated assembly and global IVD manufacturing regulations.

  • Experience in scaling up manufacturing operations from pilot scale to full production mode.

  • Project management experience and leadership of project teams.

  • An appreciation for puns and a willingness to pitch in wherever needed!

Why Join Us?
At Vital Bio, you will:
  • Take a critical role in building and scaling manufacturing operations for novel diagnostics, impacting global healthcare systems.

  • Work alongside passionate problem-solvers in a culture that values curiosity, teamwork, and innovation.

  • Own your contributions on projects with meaningful, real-world outcomes.

  • Grow your skills in a supportive, dynamic environment that believes fun and excellence go hand-in-hand.
