Manufacturing Engineer - 1st Shift
About The Position
The Manufacturing Engineer focuses on manufacturing processes in generator manufacturing, specifically core stacking. The role is responsible for departmental operations within the Generator Stack Pit, including planning and execution of generator components. It operates with some autonomy, guided by established policies or review of end results. The engineer acts as a manufacturing expert for Core Stacking Operations at GE Vernova's generator manufacturing operation in Schenectady, New York. The role defines and controls production processes, including tooling and equipment, validates design specifications and shop-floor application of new products, tools, or equipment, and troubleshoots equipment and process issues. The engineer works with shop personnel to develop manufacturing methods, schedules, and documentation for improvements; leads manufacturing engineering, operations, and lean projects; and provides shop-floor documentation and training to support new products and processes.

It also serves as a resource for less experienced colleagues, helps build team consensus, conveys performance expectations, and applies lean methods to equipment and material-handling designs to reduce waste.
