Manufacturing Process Engineer — Metal Fabrication & Coatings
About The Position
Step into a key engineering role with a market-leading metal processing and fabrication manufacturer. From powder coating lines to assembly and welded components, you’ll elevate productivity, quality, and safety while partnering with cross-functional teams to keep operations running smoothly. A day in the role Morning walkthroughs take you from the powder booth to the assembly cells. You review yesterday’s KPIs, jump into a root-cause discussion on a weld distortion issue, and adjust a fixture concept in CAD. Before lunch, you update routings and BOMs tied to an MRP change; by afternoon you’re facilitating a quick FMEA on a new sheet-metal assembly and lining up a continuous improvement event to reduce changeover time on the coating line.
Requirements
- BS in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Hands-on experience in a manufacturing engineering capacity.
- Fluency in drawings, tolerances, and GD&T.
- Working knowledge of MRP/MRPII systems.
- Background in powder coating, sheet metal, or metal fabrication environments.
- Exposure to FMEA and continuous improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Kaizen).
- CAD proficiency for tooling and fixture design.
- Clear communication and strong analytical problem-solving skills.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with SPC, welding processes, or cost analysis.
Responsibilities
- Engineer and refine manufacturing processes, tooling, and production workflows across coating, fabrication, and assembly.
- Interpret engineering drawings and GD&T to ensure build-to-print accuracy.
- Create/maintain routings, bills of materials, and shop-floor documentation.
- Leverage MRP/MRPII for planning, scheduling, and materials alignment.
- Lead/participate in FMEA and broader risk assessments for new and existing products.
