ResponsibilitiesProduct Development EngineerLocation: Hudson, NH (with some travel)The Company & Why This Role MattersYou'll be joining a business that works behind the scenes of some pretty advanced industries-semiconductors and optics. In simple terms, they make ultra-pure ceramic materials that keep high-tech manufacturing running smoothly.This role sits right at the heart of that. You'll take ideas from concept through to production-turning technical know-how into real, working products. Not just drawings on a screen, but parts that meet tight specs and actually perform in the real world.The RoleThis isn't a "watch from the sidelines" engineering role. You'll manage product development projects end-to-end-designing, testing, refining, and getting products into production.One day you're working on design specs and CAD models. The next, you're troubleshooting a process issue on the shop floor or working with suppliers to get materials just right.What You'll Be Doing

• Run product development projects from concept through to production (and everything in between)
• Create and manage design plans-covering product specs, processes, and inspections
• Work with suppliers to source materials, components, and equipment
• Carry out design verification (testing, inspections, FAI, FMEA, control plans)
• Lead new product introduction (NPI), including documentation and operator training
• Build and manage project plans, timelines, and risks
• Keep projects on track-delivering on time and within cost expectations
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and quality teams to solve real problems
• Support process improvements, cost reductions, and new ideas for the pipeline
• Act as a technical go-to for production and quality teams
• Join customer discussions when needed (sometimes explaining the "why" behind the design)

QualificationsAbout You / What You'll Bring

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or something similar
• Around 1-3 years' experience in manufacturing, materials, or product development
• Experience working with technical drawings, specs, and manufacturing processes
• Confidence managing projects-not just contributing to them
• Strong communication skills-you can explain technical details without making it confusing
• Comfortable working cross-functionally (and occasionally chasing people for updates)
• Solid Excel/Microsoft Office skills; exposure to CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) helps
• A practical mindset-you like solving problems, not just documenting them

Nice to Have

• Experience with ceramics, CVD processes, or advanced materials
• Familiarity with semiconductor or optical manufacturing
• Exposure to quality tools (FMEA, control plans, etc.)
• Understanding of regulated environments (ITAR/EAR)

What You'll Get

• A hands-on engineering role where your work actually makes it to production
• Exposure to high-tech industries and advanced materials
• A mix of design, manufacturing, and problem-solving-keeps things interesting
• Opportunities to work across teams and with global colleagues
• Standard benefits package and the chance to grow your engineering career

If you enjoy taking ideas and turning them into something real-and you're happy getting stuck into both design and production-this could be a good fit.
