Position Summary
The Manufacturing Engineer supports the Manufacturing Manager in daily production operations, line management, and cross-functional initiatives. Acting as a bridge between R&D and shop-floor execution, this role leads the introduction of new products, processes, materials, and components into production. Primary responsibilities include identifying operational bottlenecks, conducting root-cause analysis, implementing corrective actions, generating standard technical documentation, and delivering hands-on training to ensure safe, consistent, and lean manufacturing output.
Key Responsibilities
1. Daily Operational & Production Support
  • Assist the Manufacturing Manager with daily priorities, capacity planning, line balancing, floor layouts, and action-item tracking to ensure timely closure.
  • Collect and analyze manufacturing metrics including yield, throughput, downtime, scrap rates, and labor efficiency.
  • Provide continuous, hands-on support on the shop floor to quickly adapt to shifting operational priorities.
2. Issue Resolution & Continuous Improvement
  • Proactively detect workflow, equipment, tooling, quality, and material issues across active assembly lines.
  • Coordinate cross-functional troubleshooting with R&D, Quality, Maintenance, EHS, and Supply Chain teams.
  • Utilize structured problem-solving methodologies (5S, RCA, CAPA, PFMEA) to isolate root causes, execute corrective actions, and verify long-term effectiveness.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives targeting cycle times, safety standards, cost reduction, and material waste.
3. New Product & Process Introduction (NPI)
  • Serve as the primary manufacturing liaison to R&D during new product launches, process design, and material introductions.
  • Evaluate product designs, BOMs, and drawings for Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and production readiness.
  • Lead prototype trials, pilot builds, process validations, and ramp-up activities; manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) through floor execution.
  • Partner with Quality and Supply Chain on vendor/component qualification and risk mitigation prior to mass release.
4. Documentation & Employee Training
  • Author, standardize, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WIs), visual aids, and assembly checklists.
  • Translate complex engineering specifications into intuitive instructions for operators.
  • Design and deliver onboarding, cross-training, and retraining programs covering equipment operation, quality standards, and safety compliance.
  • Audit point-of-use documentation and incorporate floor feedback to continuously enhance procedural accuracy.
Qualifications
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering (or related technical field).
  • Experience: 3+ years in manufacturing, production, or process engineering supporting active shop-floor environments.
  • Technical Skills: Hands-on expertise in NPI, process validation, line balancing, and engineering change management.
  • Methodologies: Solid grounding in Lean Manufacturing, 5S, RCA, CAPA, PFMEA, and continuous improvement frameworks.
  • Documentation & Systems: Proven ability to write concise SOPs and training content; proficient in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); ERP/MES experience is a plus.
  • Work Environment: Strong communication and problem-solving skills; ability to work on-site in a high-velocity, fast-paced manufacturing facility.
