Manufacturing Engineer – Process, Production, and Technology

The Manufacturing Engineer role may be focused on one of three areas: Process, Production, or Technology. Each specialization plays a critical role in driving manufacturing excellence through innovation, efficiency, and quality.

Process

Responsible for designing and developing innovative, cost-effective manufacturing techniques and procedures. This includes:

+ Developing, maintaining, and continuously improving processes using LEAN methodologies.

+ Establishing standards and implementation plans, including training for shop floor personnel and production metrics.

+ Collaborating with Engineering and Manufacturing Technology to ensure effective process development for new products and capturing lessons learned from existing processes.

Production

Leads the implementation of manufacturing processes and LEAN/Six Sigma tools. Key responsibilities include:

+ Ownership of manufacturing processes and standards.

+ Training shop floor personnel and monitoring performance metrics.

+ Troubleshooting complex manufacturing issues related to quality and production yield.

Technology

Focuses on identifying, developing, and implementing next-generation manufacturing technologies. Responsibilities include:

+ Creating a technological roadmap for new and existing products.

+ Leading process development from concept through successful implementation.

Lean Six Sigma

Implement key Lean elements: standardized work instructions, line balancing, layout and routing optimization, training matrices, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen/5S, pull systems, TPM, cell design, and quick changeover/batch-size optimization.

+ Drive continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing processes.

Other Responsibilities

+ Improve process yield, reduce cycle time, and enhance productivity.

+ Provide feedback on product design and manufacturability to Engineering and DFMs via Engineering Change Requests (ECRs).

+ Review and approve Engineering Change Orders affecting inventory and product lifecycle.

+ Develop and monitor KPIs for process capability and product quality.

+ Reduce process costs and benchmark best-in-class techniques.

+ Plan and execute pilot testing and scale-up for new technologies.

+ Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing Métiers during process prove-out.

+ Support DFM engineers on technology constraints for NPD and RR projects.

+ Share and leverage best practices across the organization.

Quality

Investigate and resolve manufacturing quality issues through root cause analysis and corrective actions.

+ Ensure manufacturing technologies meet required quality, reliability, and consistency standards.

Minimum Requirements

+ Bachelor’s degree in industrial or mechanical engineering, or equivalent experience in a technical manufacturing role.

+ Strong understanding of mechanical systems for interpreting schematics, troubleshooting, and standardizing processes.

+ Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.

+ Effective communicator across all levels—from technicians to executives.

+ Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship.
