Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer with approximately three years of practical experience in manufacturing environments such as those at Toyota, Whirlpool, or Honda. This role is not a desk job or a list-making position; you will be on the floor, solving real problems, and helping us build better processes every day. The ideal candidate is someone who has experience working with their hands and has further honed their math, statistics, and engineering skills in an academic setting. We are looking for someone curious, humble, and quick to adapt.

Responsibilities

+ Spend your first two weeks learning the floor, reading logs, and observing processes.

+ Work closely with a tight-knit, respectful team to support and lead process improvement projects.

+ Analyze shop conditions and standardized work.

+ Design, implement, and improve automation and mechanical systems.

+ Collaborate with operators and engineers to solve problems in real time.

+ Occasionally travel to other sites (once every two months).

+ Approximately 10 hours of overtime each week.

Essential Skills

+ Mechanical Engineer with Manufacturing experience as a plus.

+ Strong math and statistics skills.

+ Experience in environments like Toyota, Whirlpool, or Honda.

+ Familiarity with Fanuc robotics and Allen Bradley PLCs (preferred).

+ Active problem solver – not just a list checker.

+ Comfortable with standardized work and shop floor analysis.

+ Able to teach and learn automation systems.

+ Experience with TPS/Lean: continuous improvement, root cause analysis, standardized work, just-in-time processes, one-piece flow, and autonomous processes.

+ Experience with AutoCAD.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

+ Bg in trades or agriculture.

+ Experience with video observation tools.

+ Exposure to the Toyota Production System (TPS) – but not as an 'expert'.

+ Ability to open and make changes to drawings using CAD software such as AutoCAD, CATIA, or Solidworks.

Work Environment

You will report to a thoughtful, experienced leader who values humility, curiosity, and respect. The team is tight-knit and supportive, with many team members having known each other for years. You will be paired with a mentor and given a project to own early on. This is a place where you can grow quickly if you are willing to get your hands dirty. The role requires approximately 10 hours of overtime each week and occasional travel to other sites once every two months.
