The posting

The Company

Halo Industries has invented a revolutionary technology to replace a decades-old semiconductor material slicing process. Our laser-based technology eliminates waste, improves material cost and performance, and drives advancements in high-growth markets like automotive, telecommunications, and power electronics. Founded in 2014 at Stanford University, Halo is well-funded and poised for rapid growth, engaging strategic customers and preparing for volume manufacturing.

The Opportunity

The Sr. Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for transitioning complex, proprietary production equipment from R&D development to pilot manufacturing. Operating at the intersection of design, quality, and supply chain, you will ensure manufacturability, establish robust build and test processes, and drive cross-functional collaboration for a seamless New Product Introduction (NPI).

Role and Responsibilities:

Design for Excellence (DfX) & Technical Transfer

  • Participate in early-stage design reviews, providing DFM, DFA, DFR, DFT, and DFS recommendations to identify manufacturability, quality, and supply chain risks.
  • Work closely with R&D engineers and scientists to translate product requirements into manufacturable designs.
  • Support engineering deliverables by completing BOMs, CAD drawings, and sourcing data within the PLM system.
  • Generate, review and execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) during pilot manufacturing.

Process & Test Development

  • Develop, qualify, and optimize scalable manufacturing and assembly processes to ensure build consistency and quality control.
  • Design, build, and validate custom assembly tooling, fixtures, and test stands.
  • Develop detailed work instructions, standard operating procedures, and technical documentation for production readiness.
  • Collaborate with contract manufacturers (CMs) and internal teams to prepare operations for product transition.

Pilot Manufacturing & NPI Project Execution

  • Lead prototype builds and pilot manufacturing runs, managing NPI schedules, design transfer deliverables, and milestone targets.
  • Execute process validations (IQ/OQ/PQ) and publish performance reports.
  • Utilize PLM and QMS systems (e.g., Arena) to maintain efficient workflow and compliance standards.

Root Cause Analysis & Continuous Improvement

  • Lead structured root cause analyses and corrective action implementations for process, tool, or product failures.
  • Identify and drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance yield, reduce cycle time, and lower build costs.

Requirements

Basic Qualifications

  • Education: B.S. in Electrical, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline (M.S. preferred).
  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on manufacturing engineering experience in capital equipment, semiconductor equipment (WFE), optical, or medical device industries.
  • Technical Skills:
  • Proven experience releasing prototype designs into pilot and full production lifecycles.
  • Strong hands-on troubleshooting skills for complex, multi-disciplinary electro-mechanical equipment.
  • Demonstrated application of methodical root cause analysis frameworks (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone).
  • Experience utilizing CAD, ERP/MRP, and PLM/QMS software tools.
  • Soft Skills: Excellent project management, leadership, and cross-functional communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Tools & Software: Proficiency with SolidWorks, NetSuite ERP/MRP, and Arena PLM/QMS.
  • Process Knowledge: In-depth knowledge of advanced fabrication, assembly, and functional testing methods.
  • Certifications: PMP, PE, Lean, or Six Sigma Black/Green Belt.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Bonus Plan eligible
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Free Food & Snacks
  • Stock Option Plan
  • Short Term & Long Term Disability
  • Base salary $130K - $145K

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
