As a Manufacturing Engineer III, you will serve as the technical anchor bridging Product Development and Operations. In this hands-on role, you will lead the transition of innovative medical devices from R&D through design transfer, driving Design for Manufacturability (DFM), pilot line validation, and robust process development. Partnering closely with Quality Assurance and Regulatory teams, you will establish scalable manufacturing processes and documentation systems that uphold our uncompromising quality standards. If you thrive on the shop floor solving complex engineering challenges and shaping the future of medical device manufacturing, we want to hear from you.
Duties & Responsibilities:
- Serve as the primary manufacturing technical lead on New Product Introduction (NPI) core teams, partnering early with R&D to drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and seamless design transfer into commercial production.
- Architect, establish, and optimize robust manufacturing processes and standardized Control Plans, ensuring critical-to-quality (CTQ) parameters are controlled, and processes meet target capability prior to commercialization.
- Lead the conceptualization, CAD design, and qualification of custom jigs, fixtures, and tooling across assembly cells, sterilization, QA inspection, and final packaging to maximize yield and operator ergonomics.
- Author, execute, and approve complex equipment and process validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ, Test Method Validation) in strict compliance with ISO 13485 regulatory requirements.
- Plan and execute complex engineering studies, Design of Experiments (DOE), and root cause analyses (RCA) to characterize process windows, resolve technical bottlenecks, and drive data-backed decisions.
- Author and govern manufacturing documentation systems, including pFMEAs, Work Instructions (WIs), and operator training frameworks, to ensure repeatable execution and audit readiness.
- Lead complex technical investigations for nonconformances, customer complaints, and CAPA initiatives, implementing systemic corrective actions that eliminate recurring failure modes.
- Partner directly with key customers, suppliers, and external equipment vendors to align on technical specifications, manufacturability milestones, and deliverable timelines.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Biomedical, or Materials Science Engineering (or related technical discipline). Master’s degree in Engineering preferred.
- Minimum of 5–8 years of progressive engineering experience in medical device manufacturing, New Product Introduction (NPI), or complex regulated production environments
- Deep working knowledge of FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820 / QMSR), ISO 13485, with direct experience supporting regulatory audits and cleanroom operations.
- Proven track record leading end-to-end equipment and process validations (IQ/OQ/PQ, Test Method Validation) and executing formal design transfer milestones from R&D to commercial manufacturing.
- Hands-on expertise authoring and maintaining pFMEAs, standardized Control Plans, and statistical process control (SPC) frameworks to achieve target process capability.
- Proficient in 3D CAD modeling (e.g., SolidWorks) for fixture/tooling design and statistical analysis software (e.g., Minitab, JMP) for Design of Experiments (DOE) and root cause analysis.
We offer great benefits: Medical, Dental and Vision, Life and Accidental Death Insurance; 401(k) with company match and immediate vesting, Paid Time Off and 11 company paid holidays.

Manufacturing Engineer Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a manufacturing engineer in Oregon?
Most manufacturing engineer positions in Oregon require a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering from an accredited university. Oregon does not require a state-issued license for most manufacturing engineer roles in private industry, though engineers who sign off on public works or offer engineering services to the public must hold a Professional Engineer license through the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying. Earning a PE license, CSCP certification, or Six Sigma credential strengthens competitiveness in Oregon's semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors.
How much do manufacturing engineers make in Oregon?
Manufacturing engineers in Oregon earn a median of about $128,290 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,170 for the lowest 10% to over $198,960 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire manufacturing engineers in Oregon?
Oregon manufacturing engineer roles are posted by Entegris, Agility Robotics, and ATI and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Oregon's concentration of semiconductor fabs, aerospace suppliers, and food processing facilities means openings appear consistently across both the Portland metro and the Willamette Valley corridor.
Which Oregon cities have the most manufacturing engineer jobs?
Portland, Hillsboro, and Salem have the most manufacturing engineer openings in Oregon right now. Portland and Hillsboro dominate because Intel's large semiconductor campus and a cluster of aerospace and medical device suppliers are based there, while Eugene and other Willamette Valley cities draw openings from food processing, wood products, and industrial equipment manufacturers that anchor those regional economies.
Are there remote manufacturing engineer jobs in Oregon?
Yes, but they're rare. About 18% of manufacturing engineer openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on, production-floor nature of most roles. The parts of the job most likely to be performed remotely are design review, documentation, supplier quality coordination, and continuous improvement project management rather than direct process or equipment work.
How can I get hired as a manufacturing engineer in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for process engineer associate, manufacturing technician, or quality engineer roles at Oregon's large semiconductor and industrial manufacturers, which regularly hire new graduates. Intel's College Hire and co-op programs in Hillsboro are well-established entry points, and Daimler Trucks North America in Portland recruits for associate-level manufacturing roles. Completing an internship with an Oregon manufacturer during school, earning a Lean or Six Sigma Yellow Belt credential, and building a portfolio of process improvement projects gives candidates without direct work experience a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to manufacturing engineer jobs in Oregon?
