• Provide on‑floor engineering support to resolve process, electrical, and production issues
• Mentor and oversee engineering interns
• Troubleshoot manufacturing and operational challenges and implement corrective actions
• Interpret and apply technical drawings and schematics to production processes
• Support adherence to ISO standards and internal quality systems
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, quality, and leadership teams
• Promote safety, quality, and operational excellence throughout the facility

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, or related discipline)
• Experience in a manufacturing or industrial production environment
• Strong working knowledge of electrical systems (required)
• Solid mechanical aptitude with practical manufacturing exposure
• Demonstrated ability to analyze processes, identify gaps, and implement solutions
• Hands‑on experience with process improvement and production optimization
• Ability to develop, revise, and maintain technical documentation and standard work
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally with technicians, engineers, and leadership

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting HVAC manufacturing systems or components
• Familiarity with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
• Experience with leak detection or similar testing processes
• Background in electrical engineering or advanced electrical troubleshooting
• Experience mentoring interns or early‑career engineers

Who This Role Is For

• Improving how production systems operate day to day
• Leading efficiency and throughput improvement efforts
• Working closely with manufacturing and operations teams
• Taking ownership of projects that directly impact production performance
• Opportunity to lead meaningful production and efficiency initiatives
• Career growth and professional development
