Manufacturing Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a motivated Manufacturing Engineer to drive continuous improvement, optimize manufacturing processes, and support new product introduction (NPI). This role focuses on lean manufacturing, plant layout design, process improvement, and manufacturing equipment development. The ideal candidate has a strong engineering foundation, analytical problem-solving skills, and an interest in improving manufacturing efficiency, product quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Recent engineering graduates are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement by evaluating manufacturing processes, performing root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions.
• Develop and present plant layout designs using CAD tools to improve workflow, material handling, and production efficiency.
• Design concepts, prototypes, tooling, fixtures, lifting equipment, and other manufacturing support equipment.
• Participate in APQP meetings and collaborate with Project Engineering and cross-functional teams to support new product introduction.
• Provide hands-on engineering support during the implementation of new projects on the production floor.
• Partner with design and engineering teams to identify and implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) opportunities.
• Lead continuous improvement meetings and apply lean manufacturing tools to eliminate waste.
• Analyze data and prepare ROI justifications for capital expenditure projects.
• Manage large-scale capital projects and support manufacturing process improvements.
• Develop and document standard work instructions for manufacturing processes.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field.
• Strong understanding of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Working knowledge of Six Sigma DMAIC and process optimization techniques.
• Knowledge of manufacturing engineering and industrial engineering principles.
• Familiarity with 2D and 3D CAD software for plant layouts and equipment design.
• Ability to read manufacturing blueprints and understand GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Strong analytical, creative problem-solving, communication, and project management skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Commitment to manufacturing safety, quality, and cost efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with AutoCAD, PTC Creo, or Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Exposure to APQP, NPI, DFM, and capital project management.
• Internship, co-op, academic project, or hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment.
