The Role:

The senior manufacturing engineer at Mikros will have significant responsibility for driving the increasing efficiency of our manufacturing systems. As a result, experience matters, and Mikros is looking for an engineer with a bachelor’s or master’s level degree and 5-10 years of experience in a precision manufacturing environment to take on this role. You will be tasked to take the first set of new project prototypes and prepare the design for efficient manufacturing.

You will leverage the strong ties between design and assembly to lead our engineers, machinists and technicians to find optimal process flows as our new innovations go to market. You will need high integrity, a strong analytical mind, visionary thinking, process experience, and excellent people skills to be effective.

This position may be of interest to you if you are good at making order out of chaos. Birthing a new product is a messy process, and our clients will rely on you to take the “baby product” and prepare it for adulthood. You must be able to see a vision for a smooth production process and understand the intersection of variables in the design to allow for efficient manufacturing without compromising product performance. You need to understand people, as you will serve as a bridge between designers, production, and the client.

The decisions you make can send both our clients and our production teams home happier at the end of the day, so your ability to meld the qualitative and quantitative, to empathize as you assess data, will be critical. You should be data-driven, understand lean manufacturing and six sigma efficiencies, and be able to cultivate Mikros team loyalty as you lead them toward a concrete vision of optimized manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the production readiness efforts of new development projects
• Assess fabrication processes and innovate on manufacturing methods to drive efficiency
• Work closely with product managers and production teams in the transition of prototypes to full scale production
• Collaborate with engineering teams in continuous improvement of products and processes
• Manage materials for flexibility, limited obsolescence risk and high service level
• Use lean and Six Sigma tools and metrics to drive improvement of yield, quality, cost and lead times
• Communicate fluidly with all project stakeholders to drive production optimization and team unity during production ramp
• Communicate with clients as needed to ensure their design needs are met with all Mikros products

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering and/or Engineering Management
• 5-10 years of work experience in an Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering environment
• Lean and/or Six Sigma experience, certifications optional
• Experience with ERP system use and optimization
• Self-initiative to set personal goals that exceed team expectations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Mikros offers a competitive salary, along with a generous benefits package including flexible work hours, paid time off, health insurance, flexible spending accounts, 401(k) plan, group life, and AD&D insurance, as well as other benefits.

The Role:

A research and development engineer at Mikros drives the innovation that makes us who we are. She or he is a data-driven, first-principles visionary who loves to dream, run the numbers, build, assess and integrate. “I was thinking about this idea last night…”, or “What if we flipped the layout this way…”, or “We could join these two materials and make this happen…” could give a glimpse of their disposition.

One of Mikros’ core values includes finding new solutions to old problems; our R&D engineers lead that effort by combining deep knowledge of their field with strong modeling and analytical skills and an innate ability to lead others in bringing new ideas to life. A Master’s or Doctoral level engineering or applied science degree with potential industry experience makes you qualified; strong team-orientation, determined flexibility and confident humility make you a good fit for Mikros.

This position may be of interest if you have a child-like curiosity for mechanics, materials and energy transfer, if you like to question the answers, if you see setbacks as valuable as successes. You dream and model and experiment. You want to try new ideas, but have the wisdom to know what new ideas to try. You are driven to see your designs applied to real products and enjoy leading others toward that goal, teaching them along the way.

You should enjoy working on a dynamic team and taking on a myriad of tasks as you lead or support various stages of multiple projects simultaneously. The ability to communicate your ideas clearly and succinctly and lead other engineers will be important.

Key Responsibilities:

• Development of new innovations and methods to advance Mikros products and processes
• Modeling the performance of new designs and presenting to the engineering team
• Development of laboratory setups to test and assess ideas
• In-depth analysis of new Thermal designs or Materials applications
• Collaboration with other R&D engineers and technicians to advance new designs
• Strong representation of the Mikros team to clients

Qualifications:

• Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science
• 0-10 years of previous work experience in a research or product development environment
• Proficiency with SolidWorks, Python, Matlab or other analytical tools
• Ability to lead and teach others
• Self-initiative to set personal goals that exceed team expectations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

The Role:

A mechanical engineer at Mikros wears many hats, from design and prototyping of new products to validation testing to production support to product management, sometimes all in one week. Mikros is looking for an early career engineer with a bachelor or master’s level engineering or applied science degree and 0-5 years of work experience to join our R&D team in the rapid development new products.

You will spend time designing with CAD software, building systems by additive and subtractive manufacturing, and developing test systems for the lab and production floor. Your products will be in the hands of some of the hottest companies in the world, so a drive for innovation, good people skills, a strong work ethic and uncompromising pride in your work is a requirement.

This position may be of interest if you enjoy the difficult search for effective and sleek solutions to hard problems, if you find heat transfer and materials science interesting and can sort through a wide array of changing design variables to find an optimized solution. You must enjoy being a “maker” and move toward action and execution. You should be able to present your ideas effectively to a strong team, be flexible, and solicit and incorporate feedback gracefully. You should enjoy working on a dynamic team, supporting and being supported by others while driving to a common goal.

Key Responsibilities:

• Efficient CAD design of new parts and assemblies
• Operation of CNC machines, 3D printers, and other prototyping equipment
• Basic analysis of Thermal Designs using principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics
