Manufacturing Engineer - Plant 10
About The Position
The Manufacturing Engineer will be located in Plant 10, Whitehall Casting Operation, and support manufacturing through focused projects that improve throughput, reduce inventory, and lower operating expense. The role drives labor-cost reductions through cellular manufacturing and new or improved methods and equipment. It applies standard practices and techniques, adjusts and correlates data, identifies discrepancies, and takes corrective action. The engineer documents work, prepares technical notes and reports, and establishes internal and external customer contacts as required. The position develops manufacturing methods that consistently meet or exceed customer requirements and continually improves processes through better or new manufacturing methods, increased yields, and reduced labor content. It provides technical support for manufacturing processes, tooling, equipment, cell and standard-work development, scrap reduction, yield improvement, and daily floor operations. The role also emphasizes systems thinking, optimization, anticipation, continuous improvement, organization, influence, data-informed decisions, prioritization, and relationships across shifts and teams.
