About MYDENTALWIG

MYDENTALWIG is a privately capitalized advanced manufacturing company developing AI-integrated healthcare technologies as the first operational phase of Sainte Lydie City, a long-term vision to build a vertically integrated industrial ecosystem in the United States valued at approximately $200 billion.

Our first platform, AI²™ (Artificial Ingestive Intelligence), combines proprietary biosensing, artificial intelligence, and predictive metabolic modeling to help transform healthcare from reactive disease treatment to proactive disease prevention.

We are assembling a founding team of exceptional engineers and innovators to build technology that has never existed before.

About the Opportunity

This is not a traditional manufacturing engineering position.

As our Founding Manufacturing Engineer, you will design the manufacturing processes that transform innovative prototypes into reliable, repeatable products.

Working closely with the Biomedical Engineer, Software Engineer, ML Engineer, FDA Regulatory Consultant, and Founder, you will establish MYDENTALWIG’s pilot manufacturing capability and lay the groundwork for future production scale-up.

This role combines engineering, process development, quality systems, equipment selection, supplier collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design and implement pilot manufacturing processes for AI²™.
• Develop assembly procedures, work instructions, and production documentation.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize products for manufacturability (Design for Manufacturing/Assembly).
• Select, qualify, and support manufacturing equipment and tooling.
• Assist with laboratory and pilot production facility layout.
• Develop manufacturing workflows that support quality, efficiency, and traceability.
• Work with suppliers to source components and evaluate manufacturing partners.
• Establish production testing and inspection procedures.
• Support process validation and continuous improvement activities.
• Collaborate with the FDA Regulatory Consultant to ensure manufacturing processes align with applicable quality system requirements.
• Assist in implementing inventory, material handling, and production planning systems.
• Support pilot builds, engineering verification, and design validation activities.
• Work closely with the Sales and Business Development teams to ensure manufacturing readiness aligns with commercialization objectives.

Preferred Technical Experience

Experience in several of the following:

• Medical device manufacturing
• Electronics assembly
• Precision manufacturing
• Product industrialization
• Lean Manufacturing
• Six Sigma methodologies
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Design for Assembly (DFA)
• Process validation
• Root cause analysis
• Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Statistical Process Control (SPC)
• CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Creo, or equivalent)
• Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
• ERP systems
• Quality Management Systems (QMS)

Experience with sensor-based products, wearable technology, or regulated manufacturing environments is highly desirable.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process development.
• Experience transitioning products from prototype to production.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and quality systems.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with medical devices or healthcare technologies.
• Experience in startup or high-growth environments.
• Familiarity with FDA Quality System Regulation (21 CFR Part 820) or its successor, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), and/or ISO 13485.
• Experience establishing pilot production lines.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers and suppliers.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you will help:

• Design and establish MYDENTALWIG’s pilot manufacturing workflow.
• Develop production documentation and quality procedures.
• Support successful assembly of the first AI²™ prototypes.
• Implement manufacturing processes that enable repeatable production.
• Help establish the Company’s integrated research, engineering, and pilot manufacturing facility.
• Build the manufacturing foundation for future commercial scaling.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Equity participation through the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (subject to Board approval and standard vesting provisions).
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Paid holidays and paid time off.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Opportunity to work alongside experts in artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing.

Why Join MYDENTALWIG?

Most manufacturing engineers improve existing production systems.

At MYDENTALWIG, you will help create one.

You will play a central role in transforming a pioneering healthcare technology into a manufacturable product while helping establish the Company’s first integrated pilot manufacturing capability.

If you’re excited by building systems from the ground up, solving complex engineering challenges, and contributing to technology with the potential to reshape preventive healthcare, we invite you to join us.
