About MPE

At MPE, we're dedicated to making a difference in the world through cutting-edge medical technology. Our mission is to be the global leader in design, engineering, and manufacturing solutions for the medical and technology industries — creating impactful solutions that improve lives, and fostering an environment where our team members can thrive, grow, and contribute to groundbreaking advancements in the medical field.

A better career for you. Creating medical technology for all.

Why This Role

If you've spent time on the assembly floor and you're ready for the next step up — this is it. As a Manufacturing Engineering Technician, you'll move from executing the process to helping shape it — working side-by-side with our Manufacturing and Process Engineers to troubleshoot problems, improve how things get built, and support the assembly team at a higher level.

If you're mechanically sharp, know your way around a production line, and want to grow beyond hands-on assembly into process improvement and engineering support, we want to hear from you. (Medical device manufacturing experience is a plus, but not required — we'll teach you the industry if you bring the aptitude.)

What You'll Do

Floor Support & Troubleshooting

• Troubleshoot issues with prototypes, production assemblies, equipment, and tooling directly on the production floor
• Be a go-to technical resource the assembly team can count on when something isn't working right

Process Improvement

• Help engineers develop, sustain, and improve manufacturing processes
• Support line setup, optimization, and reorganization from Gemba walks and productivity initiatives
• Assist with prototype builds, line validations, and process trials

Documentation & Systems

• Collect and document data from process improvements and production trials
• Help maintain accurate BOMs, routings, and work instructions in our ERP system

Continuous Improvement & Mentorship

• Participate in root cause investigations and help implement corrective actions
• Support training so the team stays consistent with work instructions and procedures

What You Bring

• Associate's degree in engineering/technology, or equivalent hands-on experience with strong mechanical aptitude
• 2+ years in a manufacturing environment — assembly operations, mechanical systems, and hands-on process support
• Comfort reading engineering drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
• Familiarity with measurement devices, hand/power tools, and testing equipment
• CAD experience (SolidWorks, ProE, AutoCAD) a plus, not required
• ERP experience a plus, not required
• A problem-solver's mindset — you notice what's not working and want to help fix it

Physical and Mental Demands

• Frequent prolonged standing and sitting standing and walking in office, manufacturing, warehouse, or operational environments.
• Occasional bending, reaching, climbing stairs, and light lifting (up to 40 lbs., if applicable).
• Visual acuity to review data, analyze reports, and observe operational processes, with color perception required.
• Will be engaged in frequent problem-solving to evaluate complex processes and identify root causes.
• Ability to interpret data, metrics to help drive decisions.
• High level of attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and receive and provide instructions in a positive manner.
• Willing to work across all locations and shifts to ensure continuous support for projects and production as needed.
• Flexible to change and possess a high degree level of integrity and “can do attitude”.
