About The Position

Clopay Corporation & CornellCookson is hiring a Manufacturing Engineer for its manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona. The position plans, directs, and coordinates manufacturing processes in an industrial environment, applying knowledge of product design, materials and parts, assembly processes, tooling, production equipment capabilities, and quality control standards to evaluate and improve manufacturing methods. The engineer analyzes space requirements and workflow, works with Industrial Engineering and Design Engineering on product design and tooling, and applies statistical methods to manufacturing requirements, work and assembly instructions, workmanship standards, and process procedures. The role focuses on reducing costs and increasing productivity, supporting Design for Excellence (including cost, test, manufacturability, and assembly), and integrating Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing and ISO methodology. It also develops manufacturing processes, procedures, work instructions, and routings, and incorporates specifications into designs, processes, or techniques while providing feedback to capture lessons learned. The position calls for practical, hands-on mechanical experience and collaboration with technicians to develop and test prototype equipment and validate mechanical concepts.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in an engineering field.
At least three years of experience in a Six Sigma/Lean manufacturing environment.
