Manufacturing Engineer

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

• 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.

• 8+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process engineering for complex electromechanical or electronics products built at a contract manufacturer or ODM.
• Have 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.
• Have led a new line or site bring-up at a manufacturing partner.
• Are 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.
• Are comfortable on the factory floor and can diagnose a process problem through observation and analysis of factory telemetry.
• Communicate clearly with partner engineers and operators on the floor and with leadership in a readout.
• Can travel to partner manufacturing sites, domestic and international up to 50% of the time.
• Have a degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

• The annual compensation range for this role is $320,000 - $405,000 USD.
• Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
• Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
