Advanced Manufacturing Engineer
About The Position
Allegion is seeking an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer to support our Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) team in improving manufacturing processes, equipment, and capital projects across our North American facilities. In this role, you'll work independently on assigned projects — supporting process improvements, equipment and automation upgrades, and new product introductions — while building deeper expertise across the full range of AME's manufacturing disciplines. We're looking for a well-rounded manufacturing engineer looking to learn and make a difference. Supporting electro-mechanical and fabrication/machining process improvements (e.g., sheet metal, welding, machining, etc.), partnering with subject matter experts as needed, is a growth focus area for this role. Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to be employed in the United States. The company does not intend to provide sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B, TN, etc.) for this employment position. At Allegion, we are driven by a bold vision: redefining safety while empowering our employees to thrive. When you join our team, you become part of a culture that values innovation, purpose, and excellence. This role offers the benefits of our dynamic hybrid work model—combining in-person collaboration for meaningful moments with the flexibility of remote work. Since hybrid arrangements can vary based on the needs of the individual, team and business, your talent acquisition partner will provide specific hybrid details about this role. We are committed to fostering a healthy work-life balance and building meaningful connections, ensuring you have the tools, resources, and support needed to excel in any environment. Together, we'll unlock your potential and create a lasting impact. Hybrid Role Details: This role is based at our Carmel, IN facility. Time will be split between office, onsite manufacturing floor, and remote work as business and project needs require. While this is the current structure and we currently have no plans to change, we reserve the right to make changes to the hybrid schedule as needed at the Company's discretion.
