Contract manufacturer for complex, regulated products across aerospace, healthcare, and industrial markets
Plexus is a 20,000+ person contract manufacturer operating across six countries, with heavy investment in engineering (164 active roles) and manufacturing (142 roles) — a hiring ratio that reflects their core business: taking products from design through aftermarket support. Their tech stack is dominated by manufacturing-focused tooling (LabVIEW, TestStand, APQP, PPAP, SPC, Orcad) paired with enterprise data infrastructure (SQL Server, Oracle, Boomi). Active projects center on new-product introduction, supplier qualification, and inspection strategy, while pain points cluster around cost-of-quality, scrap reduction, and avoiding production disruptions — typical of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing for regulated industries.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead, Production Lead, Director of Engineering, Account Director, Quality Director
