Are you a problem-solver at heart? Do you thrive on improving manufacturing systems, integrating advanced technology, and driving measurable results? McElroy Manufacturing is looking for a Manufacturing Engineer who is ready to roll up their sleeves and help advance how we manufacture our products and build our future.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work at the intersection of manufacturing engineering, operations, and advanced technology. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll analyze, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes with a focus on automated warehouse and material-flow systems, robotic welding, manual welding operations, manufacturing automation, and continuous improvement, with additional support for unmanned machining initiatives.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys balancing hands-on shop-floor support with longer-term automation and process-improvement initiatives. You’ll own projects from concept through implementation and play a key role in scaling manufacturing capability.

Your mission includes:

• Optimizing automated material flow: Improve automated warehouse, storage, retrieval, and point-of-use delivery processes to ensure materials are available when and where production needs them.
• Advancing robotic welding: Develop and improve robotic welding processes, tooling, fixtures, programming, and workflows to increase quality, consistency, throughput, and equipment utilization.
• Improving manual welding: Enhance welding processes, workstations, fixtures, tooling, ergonomics, standard work, and material flow to improve safety, quality, and productivity.
• Integrating automation: Identify opportunities to automate repetitive or non-value-added activities and help implement technologies that improve manufacturing flexibility and efficiency.
• Supporting unmanned manufacturing: Assist with machining and other manufacturing processes that can benefit from extended unattended operation, improved reliability, and reduced operator intervention.
• Driving continuous improvement: Eliminate waste, reduce downtime, improve process capability, increase throughput, and simplify workflows across manufacturing operations.
• Leading technology implementation: Evaluate and implement new equipment, automation, tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing technologies from concept through production.

Your Core Focus Areas

Automated Warehouse & Material Flow

• Develop and improve automated storage, retrieval, and material-delivery processes.
• Optimize the movement of raw materials, work-in-process, tooling, and finished components.
• Improve integration between warehouse activities and production requirements.
• Identify opportunities to reduce handling, travel, waiting, and excess inventory at the point of use.
• Develop layouts and workflows that support safe, efficient, scalable manufacturing operations.

Robotic Welding

• Improve robotic welding processes for quality, consistency, throughput, and equipment utilization.
• Develop and improve welding fixtures, tooling, part presentation, and material flow.
• Support the implementation and optimization of robotic welding equipment and supporting automation.
• Identify production constraints and develop solutions that improve reliability and repeatability.
• Support process standardization and training associated with robotic welding operations.

Manual Welding

• Improve manual welding processes, workstation layouts, fixtures, tooling, and ergonomics.
• Partner directly with welders and supervisors to identify practical shop-floor improvements.
• Reduce non-value-added activities such as material movement, handling, waiting, and excessive setup.
• Improve standard work and process consistency while maintaining flexibility for varying production requirements.
• Support quality improvements through better process control, fixturing, and manufacturing methods.

Manufacturing Automation & Machining

• Identify opportunities where automation can improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, or manufacturing capacity.
• Support implementation of automated equipment and technologies across manufacturing.
• Assist with initiatives that expand unattended or unmanned production where practical.
• Support improvements to machining processes, tooling, fixturing, material handling, and equipment utilization without making machining the primary responsibility.

What Success Looks Like

• You become a go-to technical resource for manufacturing automation, automated material flow, robotic welding, and manual welding processes.
• You drive measurable improvements in safety, quality, throughput, labor productivity, material flow, and equipment utilization.
• You strengthen the connection between automated warehouse systems and shop-floor production.
• You improve robotic and manual welding processes through better tooling, fixtures, workflows, and process control.
• You successfully move automation and manufacturing technology projects from concept into sustainable production.
• You help establish manufacturing processes that require less handling, movement, and operator intervention.
• You support unmanned machining and other unattended manufacturing initiatives as part of the broader automation strategy.

What You Bring to the Table

Education: BS in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Tools of the Trade: Strong computer and technical skills, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and CAD. Experience with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, ERP systems, automation, robotics, CNC manufacturing systems, or related manufacturing technologies is preferred.

Manufacturing Background: Experience supporting welding, automation, material handling, machining, or other production environments is highly desirable.

Continuous Improvement: Experience applying Lean Manufacturing principles such as 5S, Kaizen, waste reduction, standard work, process improvement, and root cause analysis in a manufacturing environment.

Technology Mindset: Comfortable working with both established manufacturing processes and emerging automation technologies. Able to evaluate opportunities, solve technical problems, and help move new technology from concept into reliable production use.

Personal Approach: Detail-oriented, hands-on, proactive, and accountable. Able to identify problems, collaborate with production teams, take ownership, and independently drive solutions through completion.

Additional Qualifications: Willingness to travel domestically or internationally and work flexible hours as production or project requirements dictate.

What You Can Expect from Us

• Regular time on the manufacturing floor working directly with welding, automation, material-handling, machining, and production operations.
• Opportunities to work with advanced manufacturing equipment and automation technologies.
• A hands-on environment where engineering improvements can have a direct and measurable operational impact.
• Opportunities to lead projects that expand automation, manufacturing flexibility, unattended production, and overall operational capability.
• A collaborative team focused on innovation, continuous improvement, quality, safety, and manufacturing excellence.
• Opportunities for continued professional and technical development.
• The ability to leave your mark on high-impact manufacturing technology projects.
