Manufacturing Engineer

Position Summary

The Manufacturing Engineer plays a critical role in designing, implementing, and continuously improving manufacturing processes to support efficient, high-quality, and cost-effective production. This position works cross-functionally with Engineering, Production, and Quality teams to support daily operations as well as new product launches.

This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving real-world manufacturing challenges, improving processes, and partnering closely with production teams.

• Develop, evaluate, and improve manufacturing processes for assembly, fabrication, and system integration
• Partner with design engineers to ensure products are optimized for manufacturability (DFM/DFA)
• Create, maintain, and improve work instructions, assembly documentation, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives, including LEAN, 5S, and Kaizen activities
• Troubleshoot and resolve manufacturing issues related to quality, efficiency, tooling, and workflow
• Analyze production data and perform root cause analysis to reduce waste, rework, and downtime
• Recommend and implement process improvements to enhance safety, reduce costs, and increase throughput
• Design and improve tools, fixtures, and jigs to support efficient and repeatable production
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts to ensure smooth and scalable production launches
• Provide technical support and hands-on training to assembly and production teams

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
• 2–5 years of experience in a manufacturing or production engineering role (equipment or machinery manufacturing preferred)
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, fabrication methods, and assembly techniques
• Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar CAD software
• Working knowledge of ERP systems and manufacturing documentation
• Familiarity with LEAN manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills
• Hands-on, team-first mindset with the ability to work directly on the production floor

• Experience with metal fabrication and equipment assembly
• Exposure to PLCs, pneumatics, and basic electrical systems
• Experience supporting a product line through its full lifecycle in a manufacturing environment
