Manufacturing Engineer

Allied Maker • Glen Cove, NY

1d • Onsite

About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer sits between Allied Maker’s Design team and the outside world of partner vendors. When a tolerance doesn’t behave, a finish won’t hold, a material fights the process, or a vendor asks a question that could change the part, this is the person who answers, and then loops back to Design with the improvement. The Manufacturing Engineer is a hands-on problem solver whose work keeps fixtures buildable, beautiful, and on schedule.

• Serve as the primary technical contact between Design Engineering and partner vendors (machining, spinning, casting, glass, alabaster, wood)
• Resolve vendor questions about tolerances, materials, finishes, and process capability while preserving design intent
• Support QC on supplier quality issues: investigate root cause, implement corrective actions, and verify effectiveness
• Review designs with Design Engineering for manufacturability, tolerance realism, assembly fit, and cost before release
• Propose actionable design improvements to improve yield, cost, and schedule while maintaining design intent
• Maintain a library of DFM lessons learned
• Own tolerance stack-up analysis on critical features
• Resolve conflicts between design intent and vendor capability
• Define inspection and acceptance criteria with QC
