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.
