About The Position
This hands-on manufacturing engineering role supports the machine shop, focusing on machining processes, measurement and inspection methods, and root cause problem solving. The engineer works closely with machine shop operators and operations leadership to investigate out-of-spec parts, improve measurement and sampling strategies, document shop-floor processes, and establish standard work. Equipment in scope includes CNC machines, lathes, and 5-axis mills. The role runs individual small-to-mid-size projects or defined project tasks within the machine shop, influencing improvements at the project and work-cell level. It may or may not serve as a core team member on larger cross-functional projects. The position is on first shift, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time.
Requirements
- Engineering degree.
- Hands-on experience with machining processes, including CNC, lathes, and 5-axis mills.
- Experience with measurement and inspection methods in a machine shop or precision manufacturing environment.
- Strong root cause analysis skills and experience driving corrective actions.
- Ability to run projects independently, communicate progress, and collaborate with shop-floor and operations teams.
- Experience creating standard work, process documentation, and sampling plans.
Nice To Haves
- Experience interpreting GD&T on prints and measuring characteristics such as runout, true position, and flatness.
- Experience performing MSA, including Gage R&R, bias, and linearity studies, across varied measurement methods.
- Familiarity with 8D, LEAN, or 6-Sigma tools such as DoE, FMEA, and QFD.
- Exposure to SAP.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a process leader for machining operations, ensuring processes operate at appropriate levels for quality and output.
- Lead root cause investigations into out-of-spec parts and implement corrective actions using improved measurement methods, sampling plans, and process controls.
- Evaluate, select, and improve measurement methods, including runout measurement and interpretation of GD&T on prints, to support accurate and consistent inspection.
- Conduct Measurement System Analysis (MSA) across measurement methods to determine which are most capable and appropriate for each application.
- Create and implement sampling plans to monitor and control critical characteristics.
- Support and lead 8D investigations and other structured problem-solving efforts.
- Document shop-floor processes and implement standard work at stations that currently rely only on drawings.
- Run small-to-mid-size projects independently, communicate progress, and coordinate priorities and needs with machine shop and operations teams.
- Act as an interface among engineering, quality, and manufacturing/production to support execution and continuous improvement.
