About The Position

The Senior Manufacturing Engineer serves as a technical leader within the manufacturing engineering function, responsible for advancing manufacturing capability, improving process robustness, and developing less-experienced engineers. This role balances hands-on problem solving with systems thinking, process standardization, and cross-functional influence to deliver safe, cost-effective, and scalable manufacturing solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, or equivalent combination of education and experience
• A minimum of 10 years' experience in manufacturing engineering is required, with strong background in process improvement and tooling design
• Demonstrated experience leading complex manufacturing improvements or problem-solving initiatives
• Strong ability to solve manufacturing problems by defining inputs/outputs, analyzing data, and implementing sustainable solutions
• Deep understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, metal forming, welding, and/or assembly)
• Ability to read, interpret, and create technical drawings, routings, and process documentation
• Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks or similar)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence across multiple functions
• Ability to balance hands-on shop-floor engagement with higher-level process and system improvement work

Nice To Haves

• Experience mentoring or informally leading engineers or technical team members
• Background in tool and die, metal forming, welding, or machining-intensive environments
• Experience with CAM software
• Experience with simulation tools, tool and die design, or FEA analysis
• Familiarity with Six Sigma or structured problem-solving methodologies
• Exposure to capital equipment projects and CAPEX justification
• Experience in working low-volume, high-mix manufacturing environments

• Foster a work environment that promotes mutual respect of all colleagues and creates an environment focused on a dual-bottom line.
• Promote the Sealing Technologies and Enpro culture around creating value and driving excellence in our organization by:
• Leading complex manufacturing problem-solving efforts using structured, data-driven approaches rather than short-term fixes.
• Developing, documenting, and standardizing manufacturing processes, tooling, and best practices.
• Designing and implementing fixtures, jigs, and tooling solutions to support machining, forming, welding, and assembly operations.
• Supporting new product introductions through robust process design, routings, tooling and documentation.
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
• Providing technical leadership for capital equipment projects, including justification, specification, and implementation.
• Serving as a technical mentor to manufacturing engineers.
• Acting as a key interface between engineering, operations, quality, maintenance, and supply chain teams.
