About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer will improve the efficiency and scalability of manufacturing processes by applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly processes (including training), tools, and materials.

The position aims to build a strong sense of pride, culture, and teamwork through involvement, listening, and celebrating victories. It also involves establishing regularly occurring events that reinforce lean practices and 5S organizational tools, providing manufacturing decision-making information by establishing standards for production, labor, and material costs, and estimating future requirements. The role requires preparing product and process reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information and trends, maintaining product and company safety records by complying with OSHA standards and government regulations, and establishing and documenting maintenance requirements for tools and equipment. Creating assembly videos to aid in onboarding and training technicians, assuring product and process quality by designing appropriate testing or qualification methods and standards, and confirming manufacturing processes are key responsibilities. Maintaining professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, maintaining personal networks, and participating in professional societies is also expected. The role involves creating and/or documenting changes and improvements to standard processes and procedures, and assisting with other manufacturing needs, including supervision of Assembly Technicians, 5S/Lean practices, and other manufacturing processes from engineering to the finished product.
