Manager, R&D Engineering – Fine Wire & Advanced Materials

Location

Are you an engineering leader with experience in advanced materials and manufacturing environments? Business Unit Medical, within Alleima, is a global leader in ultra-fine wire and precision material solutions used in medical and microelectronic applications. This role focuses on the development and industrialization of material-based components; not software or finished medical devices working at the intersection of materials science, process engineering, and manufacturing scale up. Join us to lead innovation in high-performance wire solutions that support life-changing technologies.

Relocation to Palm Coast, FL required.

Your Role

As a Manager of R&D Engineering, you will lead a team responsible for the design, development, and industrialization of physical medical products. You will bridge R&D, manufacturing, and commercial teams to bring new material-based solutions to market.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead and develop a team of mechanical, materials, and product development engineers in a manufacturing environment

• Drive end-to-end hardware product development, from concept through prototyping, validation, and production transfer

• Oversee design for manufacturability (DFM) and ensure alignment with plant operations and quality standards

• Partner closely with operations, quality, and supply chain to scale products into production

• Manage engineering resources, timelines, and budgets for physical product development programs

• Guide materials selection, process development, and performance validation for fine wire and related technologies

• Ensure compliance with medical device regulations and quality systems (e.g., ISO standards)

• Contribute to strategic decisions related to manufacturing capabilities, equipment investment, and product innovation

About You

You have a degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, manufacturing engineering, or a related field, along with several years of experience leading engineering teams in a product development and manufacturing environment. Your background is rooted in physical product development rather than software or IT systems, with hands-on experience guiding products from concept through prototyping, testing, and production. You bring strong leadership and project management skills, along with a deep understanding of materials, processes, and design for manufacturability. Experience in medical devices or regulated industries is highly valued. You are a collaborative leader who is comfortable working across functions, balancing technical depth with strategic thinking, and driving results in a fast paced, production-oriented environment.
