The Manufacturing Engineer will be responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing manufacturing processes across plasma cutting, press braking, robotic welding, and CNC machining — working at the intersection of engineering, automation, and lean production in a state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing or fabrication engineering role (required).
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Inventor, or equivalent); ability to read and interpret GD&T drawings.
• Familiarity with CNC programming.
• Working knowledge of AWS D1.1 structural welding code and WPS/PQR fundamentals.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a practical, hands-on orientation.
• Ability to communicate effectively across engineering, production, and quality teams.
• Self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, growing environment.
• Comfortable working in an industrial shop environment on an active production floor.

Nice To Haves

• Coursework or specialization in manufacturing processes, materials science, welding engineering, or industrial automation is a plus.
• Direct experience with any two or more of the following: plasma cutting, press braking, robotic welding, or CNC machining in a structural steel or heavy equipment environment strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with robotic programming environments (Yaskawa MotoSim, OTC DTPS, or equivalent) is a plus.
• Basic understanding of lean manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Experience in the heavy fabrication industries.
• Experience with welding cell commissioning or integration projects.
• Knowledge of plate processing, material handling, and vertical storage systems for heavy steel.

Responsibilities

• Design manufacturing jigs for fabrication, welding, and machining.
• Develop, document, and maintain manufacturing process plans, work instructions, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all fabrication operations.
• Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives across cutting, forming, welding, and machining processes to reduce cycle time, scrap, and rework.
• Support production engineers and operators in resolving day-to-day technical issues and non-conformances.
• Establish admonitory process parameters, tolerances, and quality checkpoints.
• Collaborate with CZM USA engineering and quality teams to support design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and new product introductions.
• Participate in FMEA, root cause analysis (RCA), and corrective action processes.
• Support capital equipment installation and start up activities.
• Maintain engineering change order (ECO) documentation and revision control in the ERP/PLM system.
• Train production personnel on new processes, tooling, and quality requirements.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off and observed holidays.
• Professional development support, including technical certifications and training.
