Manufacturing Engineer

American Crane & Equipm•Amity Township, PA

40d•$85,000 - $115,000•Onsite

About The Position

This role bridges Engineering and Manufacturing by developing smarter processes, improving production flow, reducing waste, supporting continuous improvement, and helping our teams manufacture highly customized crane systems safely, efficiently, and with exceptional quality. This is a highly collaborative manufacturing engineering role focused on improving how custom-engineered products move from design to production. You'll spend time in both the office and on the manufacturing floor, partnering with Engineering, Fabrication, Welding, Machining, Assembly, Quality, Shipping, and Operations to improve manufacturing methods, optimize production processes, and solve complex manufacturing challenges. This is not a repetitive production engineering role. Every project presents unique engineering challenges requiring creativity, collaboration, and practical problem-solving.
