Are you a hands-on engineer who thrives on the production floor? As a Manufacturing Engineer at Rehlko, you'll be at the center of our operations - owning continuous improvement, solving real production challenges, and helping our teams build world-class home energy products. You'll apply Lean Manufacturing principles, collaborate across functions, and make a visible impact from day one. This is not a desk job - it's a career launch pad for engineers who want to learn fast, lead early, and grow with a global brand.

• Solve production problems, fast. Working alongside Production Supervisors, Materials Engineers, and Design Engineers, you'll analyze operations to maximize equipment utilization, improve quality, and keep the line moving.

• Help bring new products to life. You'll collaborate with Design Engineering, Marketing, and the production floor to coordinate new product introductions - establishing shop routes, evaluating capacity, and ensuring a smooth launch from engineering to production.

• Be the technical resource your team relies on. You'll provide hands-on technical support, monitor critical processes, partner with Maintenance to sustain equipment, and coordinate with Quality Engineering to maintain ISO9001 compliance.
