About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer supports manufacturing operations by developing and improving processes, tooling, equipment, layouts, and assembly methods. This role serves as the primary engineering resource for assigned production areas while supporting broader facility needs as required. The successful candidate will take a hands-on approach, working regularly on the production floor to understand problems firsthand, engage with team members, and drive solutions through implementation. This role requires strong ownership, communication, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with limited day-to-day direction.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Operations, Engineering or related field.
One (1) – two (2) or more years of experience.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet established deadlines with limited day-to-day direction.
Ability and willingness to work regularly in a manufacturing environment and spend significant time on the production floor.
Experience with Creo Parametric.
Experience in a manufacturing, heavy equipment, automotive, fabrication, or assembly environment.
Experience designing manufacturing tooling, fixtures, workstations, or material-handling solutions.
Experience with standard work, time studies, capacity analysis, line balancing, value stream mapping, process mapping, or manufacturing layout development.
Experience with Lean manufacturing, Kaizen/continuous improvement, root-cause analysis, and/or Six Sigma methodologies.
Experience leading projects from concept through implementation, including cost justification, ROI analysis, or capital requests.
Strong mechanical aptitude and familiarity with common hand/power tools, fabrication methods, and assembly processes.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary manufacturing engineering resource for assigned production areas while supporting other facility needs as required.
Work directly with production, Safety, Quality, Materials, Maintenance, and other functions to identify problems, determine root causes, and implement practical solutions.
Design, prototype, and implement manufacturing tooling, fixtures, workstations, and material-handling solutions using 2D and 3D CAD.
Lead manufacturing engineering projects and engineering changes through assessment, implementation, and validation, coordinating impacts across tooling, processes, materials, quality, safety, and affected stakeholders.
Develop and maintain standard work instructions and manufacturing process documentation.
Perform time studies, capacity analysis, line balancing, value stream/process mapping, layout analysis, and other industrial engineering activities to improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, ergonomics, and productivity.
Lead and support continuous improvement activities and events within assigned manufacturing areas.
Develop project estimates, cost justifications, ROI analyses, and capital improvement proposals.
Manage multiple projects and production-support priorities while communicating status, meeting deadlines, and independently driving work toward completion.
