Manufacturing Engineer Technician
About The Position
The Manufacturing Engineer Technician assists with designing, developing, and testing manufacturing processes and supports production teams in meeting manufacturing goals and timelines. The role monitors and optimizes processes for efficiency and quality, maintains and troubleshoots manufacturing equipment, and works with engineers to implement manufacturing technologies and methods. It also involves collecting and analyzing data for process improvements, maintaining technical documentation and standard operating procedures, and training operators on equipment and processes. The position requires effective communication and collaboration with coworkers, engineers, supervisors, production teams, and other departments. The technician is expected to follow company policies and safety protocols, uphold quality standards, manage time and resources, and work dependably and independently. There are no direct supervisory responsibilities, though the employee may lead a specific project and may train operators on new assembly or test procedures. The work environment regularly includes exposure to moving mechanical parts, occasional exposure to fumes or airborne particles, and usually moderate noise. Physical demands may include occasionally lifting 50 pounds or more, standing, kneeling, or leaning over equipment for extended periods, and working with small parts where good vision, color vision, and depth perception are essential. Personal protective equipment is required as applicable.
