Sr Manufacturing Engineer

We are looking for an experienced Sr Manufacturing Engineer to support engineering and product development efforts in Clearwater, Florida. This position is well suited for a mechanical or aerospace engineer who brings deep experience in new product development, design evaluation, and test analysis within a regulated manufacturing environment. The role combines detailed desk-based engineering work with regular collaboration on the production floor to help improve tooling, fixturing, and overall manufacturability.

Responsibilities:

• Guide the mechanical development of new products from concept review through qualification testing and ongoing product support.
• Build, update, and control 3D models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks, while applying analytical tools to assess structural performance when needed.
• Review designs through formal evaluation methods such as risk assessments and failure analysis to identify issues affecting reliability, function, and manufacturability.
• Verify that products and components meet applicable environmental and industry testing expectations, including aerospace-related standards where required.
• Coordinate external technical services by defining engineering needs, monitoring deliverables, and ensuring work is completed to quality and schedule expectations.
• Support multiple active programs at the same time, driving tasks forward from initial design through release and validation.
• Investigate technical and production-related problems using structured root cause methods and implement effective corrective actions.
• Partner with manufacturing teams on the shop floor to improve fixtures, tooling, and production processes while helping resolve day-to-day build issues.
• Oversee additive manufacturing activities, including support for 3D printing lab operations and related prototype development.
• Provide sustaining engineering assistance for existing products, including evaluation of part obsolescence and long-term design support.
