About The Position

Frazer, a builder of emergency medical vehicles and mobile healthcare units, is seeking a Manufacturing Process Engineer II to join its manufacturing engineering team. The role analyzes production processes and engineers improvements to make manufacturing safer, faster, and more consistent, helping shape the quality of vehicles used by first responders. The engineer studies production-floor workflows, identifies variation, waste, and bottlenecks, and uses production data and structured root cause analysis to resolve scrap, rework, and defects. The role develops and verifies corrective actions, documents standard work and work instructions, measures cycle times and process performance, and collaborates across functions to address manufacturing challenges. It also supports readiness for new products and process changes and trains production teams on updated processes. This is an onsite position in Houston, Texas, with no travel required. The schedule is Monday through Thursday, 7:00 AM–4:30 PM, and Friday, 7:00 AM–11:00 AM. The stated annual compensation is $84,000–$97,000, commensurate with education, certifications, and experience.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Engineering Technology.
2–4 years of experience in a manufacturing role.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and CAD software.
Working knowledge of structured problem-solving and continuous improvement principles.
Analytical, precise, and curious approach to manufacturing and process improvement.
Ability to communicate complex technical work clearly in documentation and training.

Nice To Haves

Experience in a Lean manufacturing environment.
Six Sigma or Lean certification.
Hands-on experience with ERP systems and production planning tools.
Hands-on experience with metal fabrication equipment, including fiber lasers, punches, press brakes, weld cells, and finishing lines.

Responsibilities

Walk the production floor, study workflow, and identify variation, waste, and bottlenecks affecting time and quality.
Analyze scrap, rework, and defect data and conduct structured root cause analysis using methods such as 5 Why, fishbone, and Pareto.
Design and implement corrective actions, then use data to verify that the fixes are effective and have not shifted the problem elsewhere.
Write and refine standard work, SOPs, and work instructions to ensure consistent manufacturing practices.
Conduct cycle time studies and process mapping to measure current performance and demonstrate improvement impacts.
Partner with quality, production, supply chain, and maintenance to solve cross-functional problems.
Review readiness for new products and process changes, identify risks early, and help define scalable processes.
Coach and train production teams on updated processes.
