Job Details

A growing custom manufacturing company in the Minneapolis area is seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to support new product introduction, process development, tooling implementation, and continuous manufacturing improvement within a low-volume, high-mix production environment.

This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys owning the manufacturing process from concept through production launch — including material selection, tooling coordination, fixture integration, machine modifications, operator quality setup, and process optimization.

The company manufactures highly engineered converted materials and custom components used across a variety of industrial applications. This is a visible role within a collaborative team where engineering has a direct impact on operations, quality, and production success.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead manufacturing engineering activities from initial concept through production release
  • Develop and maintain BOMs and Bills of Operation (BOO)
  • Coordinate tooling and die ordering for new products and processes
  • Analyze materials, tolerances, machine capabilities, and manufacturability requirements
  • Design and incorporate fixtures and process improvements into production
  • Support machine modifications and process optimization initiatives
  • Establish operator quality standards and production documentation
  • Collaborate with production, quality, and leadership teams to improve throughput, safety, and consistency
  • Manage approximately 25-35 new part introductions per month in a low-volume manufacturing environment
  • Ensure manufacturing processes prioritize both safety and quality, not just cost reduction

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering required
  • 5+ years of hands-on Manufacturing Engineering experience
  • Experience owning manufacturing processes from start to finish
  • Strong understanding of materials, tooling, tolerances, and production machinery
  • Experience with BOMs, BOOs, fixtures, and process implementation
  • Background working with rotary machines, die cutting equipment, or similar manufacturing systems
  • Proficiency with CAD software; SolidWorks or Creo preferred

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience within adhesives, tapes, foams, rubber, insulation, converting, or related materials industries
  • Familiarity with printing press or web machine environments
  • Knowledge of Epicor ERP
  • Strong safety and statistical quality control (SQC) mindset
