Join MRPC: Build What's Next in Medical Technology

Make an impact. Grow your career. Shape the future of healthcare.

At MRPC, you'll do more than manufacture products. You'll help create technologies that improve and save lives around the world, maybe even someone you know.

With more than 100 years of manufacturing expertise, MRPC is a growing leader in medical device manufacturing, supporting advanced technologies like robotic-assisted surgery and next-generation healthcare solutions.

Here, you'll have the opportunity to work with advanced technology, solve meaningful challenges, grow your skills, and turn great ideas into action. We're investing in our people, technology, and facilities, and creating opportunities for talented individuals to grow with us.

The Role: Turn Great Designs into Flawless Production

Every component we ship to a medical device customer starts with a process someone had to get exactly right. As our Manufacturing Engineer, that someone is you. You'll be the

voice of the manufacturing process

, taking new products from

launch to validated, repeatable production

, and making our

molding, assembly and packaging operations

safer, faster and more capable every day. You'll work hand in hand with Quality, Tooling, Automation, Maintenance and Program Management to launch new products right the first time and keep existing processes running at their best.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the launch.

Be the manufacturing voice on new product introduction teams, give design-for-manufacturability input, and build the processes, cells and routers that carry a product into production.

  • Engineer robust processes.

Use DOE and scientific molding principles to develop repeatable compression, transfer, injection and LSR molding processes, and partner with Tooling to qualify molds.

  • Prove it works.

Author and execute IQ/OQ/PQ validations, and build PFMEAs, Control Plans and error-proofing with Quality.

  • Bring in new equipment.

Specify, justify and qualify new equipment, from ROI and vendor selection through factory and site acceptance testing and installation.

  • Design the tools.

Design fixtures, gauges and end-of-arm tooling in SolidWorks and get them built in-house or with vendors.

  • Solve the tough problems.

Be the go-to engineer for floor issues, lead root-cause investigations, support MRB and CAPA, and drive fixes to closure.

  • Move the numbers.

Track OEE, scrap, yield and process capability with SPC, and lead Lean and Six Sigma projects that cut waste and variation.

  • Share what you know.

Write clear work instructions, train operators and maintenance teams, and support program transfers across MRPC sites.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience

and a Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Plastics or Industrial Engineering (or related), or an equivalent combination of education and experience

  • Process validation know-how,

including IQ/OQ/PQ, DOE, PFMEA, Control Plans and change control

  • Molding and assembly experience,

ideally with rubber/elastomer (compression, transfer or LSR) and/or plastic injection molding

  • Solid statistical skills (SPC, process capability, MSA) using Minitab or similar software
  • 3D CAD (SolidWorks or similar) and AutoCAD for fixtures and layouts, plus Microsoft Office, MS Project and ERP skills
  • A hands-on, data-driven problem solver who juggles multiple projects, communicates clearly with everyone from operators to customers, and keeps a safe, clean workspace
  • Bonus points for:

medical device or cleanroom experience, scientific molding training (e.g., RJG), a Six Sigma Green Belt, and experience with automation and vision systems
