Senior Manufacturing Engineer (Remote)
Fictiv is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join their team remotely in the United States. This senior-level, hands-on position focuses on defining how custom parts are built and priced, reviewing manufacturability, generating competitive quotes, and providing design feedback to expedite product market entry. The role serves as a technical authority, enhancing costing and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) quality across regions.
In this role, you will analyze models, drawings, parts lists, and other data to determine the scope of work, manufacturing feasibility, requirements, and minimum lead time. You will generate quotes by combining engineering analysis with platform recommendations or collaborate with external suppliers to determine quoting parameters. Additionally, you will develop cost calculators to bring quoting in-house for new service offerings and provide DFM feedback to builders, recommending changes that improve manufacturability, reduce part cost, or ease assembly. You will also produce high-quality 2D drawings per ANSI/ASME Y14.5 standards.
The ideal candidate will have a 4-year Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent technical training, with 5–10 years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, costing/DFM, or related custom mechanical hardware work. Hands-on experience across multiple custom mechanical manufacturing processes, including sheet metal, urethane casting, injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing, is essential. A strong understanding of GD&T and conventional (coordinate) tolerancing, along with deep knowledge of the manufacturability and limitations of common metals and plastics, is required. Experience mentoring or coaching other engineers and acting as a technical resource is preferred. The ability to lead through influence and coordinate cross-functional or dotted-line teams without direct reporting authority is crucial. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are necessary, as is the ability to work across multicultural, cross-functional teams. A meticulous and detail-oriented approach, with a documentation mindset, is important. Experience with APQP/PPAP, IQ/OQ/PQ, EV/DV/PV, or NPI processes and/or PMP certification is a plus. Experience in AS9100, ISO 13485, or other highly regulated industries is highly recommended.
This position offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including 401k matching, tuition/education assistance, dental, health/medical, and vision insurance, paid community service time, and parental and family leave. Fictiv is committed to creating a company that reflects its community by including voices from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. The company emphasizes respect, honesty, collaboration, and growth, fostering an environment where employees can thrive.
Joining Fictiv means becoming part of a team that is transforming the manufacturing industry through innovation and collaboration. As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to the development of high-quality products that impact various industries. Fictiv's culture encourages continuous learning and professional growth, providing a dynamic and supportive environment for its employees.
