The Manufacturing Engineer will own how Anthropic’s servers, racks, and accelerator systems are built at contract manufacturing and ODM partners. The role involves designing and qualifying assembly, integration, and test processes, leading new line and site bring‑ups, managing tooling and equipment, driving yield and cycle‑time improvements, providing design‑for‑manufacturing feedback, and partnering with cross‑functional teams to resolve systemic build issues.

Requirements
Skills
- 8+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process engineering for complex electromechanical or electronics products built at a contract manufacturer or ODM
- Designed and released a production process end-to-end, including line layout, work instructions, fixtures, and test, and owned its yield and cycle time in mass production
- Led a new line or site bring-up at a manufacturing partner
- Experienced with common manufacturing engineering tools such as PFMEA, control plans, SPC, process capability, gauge R&R, DFM/DFT, and structured root cause methods such as 8D
- Comfortable on the factory floor and able to diagnose a process problem through observation and analysis of factory telemetry
- Communicates clearly with partner engineers and operators on the floor and with leadership in a readout
- Able to travel to partner manufacturing sites, domestic and international up to 50% of the time
- Has a degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Responsibilities
- Design and document the assembly, rack integration, and test process for new server and rack products, including work instructions, process flows, takt and cycle time targets, and line layout
- Lead new line and new site bring-up at CM/ODM partners, from process validation and capacity verification through pilot builds and release to mass production
- Specify, source, and validate tooling, fixtures, and test equipment
- Own first-pass yield, cycle time, and process capability in production; run SPC, analyze failure and rework data, and drive corrective actions with manufacturing partners
- Provide design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test feedback during product development and represent manufacturing in pilot build reviews
- Qualify process changes and engineering changes on the line, including PFMEA updates, control plan revisions, and operator training before changes are cut in
- Replicate a qualified process from one line or site to another without a yield or throughput regression, and audit partner lines against Anthropic standards
- Partner with product engineering, test engineering, quality, and supply chain to resolve systemic build issues and reduce per unit cost
