Bevi
Overview
Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our smart hydration systems eliminate the need for single-use bottles and cans, making it easy, fun, and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology, Bevi is investing in new product development and scaling manufacturing to support rapid growth. We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join our team and act as the primary point of contact for all manufacturing-related activities with our contract manufacturers, overseeing day-to-day execution, production targets, and issue resolution. The role will lead continuous improvement initiatives and collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop robust manufacturing strategies that scale with the business. Responsibilities
Oversee Manufacturing Operations - be the go-to subject matter expert for all aspects of manufacturing with our contract manufacturers. Ensure day-to-day operations align with Bevi's production goals, quality standards, and timelines. Drive Continuous Improvement - identify, implement, and track improvements to processes, equipment, and materials that increase manufacturing efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Develop a data-driven approach to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. Lead Problem-Solving Efforts - spearhead cross-functional initiatives to resolve complex manufacturing issues, including quality defects, design limitations, and operational inefficiencies. Use problem-solving methodologies to perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions. Collaboration & Cross-Functional Leadership - work with internal teams (Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality) and external partners (contract manufacturers, suppliers) to ensure manufacturing processes meet Bevi's standards. Drive alignment between stakeholders to prioritize key initiatives. Manufacturing Strategy Development - play an instrumental role in developing and executing strategies for manufacturing scalability. Plan and implement initiatives to ensure Bevi's capabilities grow with the business. Support Supplier and Vendor Relationships - manage relationships with suppliers and contract manufacturers, providing technical guidance and support for process improvements, testing procedures, and quality monitoring. Ensure Robust Documentation and Reporting - lead the creation and maintenance of manufacturing documentation, including process flows, work instructions, and engineering change orders. Regularly track and report on quality and reliability metrics. Execute Product Design Changes - implement design changes, product refreshes, and continuous improvements on existing product lines. Collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to ensure changes integrate smoothly while maintaining quality, cost, and reliability standards. Requirements
Experience: 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, quality engineering, or process engineering, with a strong track record in fast-paced, high-growth environments Manufacturing Ownership - Demonstrated ability to independently manage day-to-day manufacturing activities with contract manufacturers, drive production schedules, address issues, and optimize processes Process Optimization - Expertise in process optimization, continuous improvement, lean manufacturing, six sigma, SPC, Kaizen, and related methodologies Problem-Solving - Advanced problem-solving skills with experience in structured methodologies (e.g., 8D, 5Y, root cause analysis) to diagnose and solve manufacturing challenges Engineering Change Management - Deep understanding of engineering change management systems and processes; ability to drive product and process changes Cross-Functional Collaboration - Ability to work across engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations to ensure products are manufactured to specification, on time, and within budget Global Supplier Experience - Experience working with suppliers and contract manufacturers in diverse geographies and scaling operations while maintaining high standards of quality and cost efficiency Data-Driven - Strong analytical skills; ability to use data to drive decisions and measure improvements. Experience with statistical analysis, quality metrics, and performance tracking Communication Skills - Excellent written and verbal communication to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and align multiple teams Benefits
Comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance plans with BlueCross BlueShield, 95% paid by employer 401(k) with company match Flexible PTO plus 12 company holidays, and additional paid days for sick leave Generous fully paid parental leave for both birth parents and non-birth parents Fully employer paid disability and life insurances Wellness and fitness reimbursements Monthly stipends for cell phone use and commuting costs Onsite snacks, weekly catered lunch, and more We’re excited about supporting career growth and would love to be part of your professional journey.
