Job Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Design Engineering, Assembly Technicians and other Manufacturing Engineers to provide a clear line of communication between design and manufacturing.
• Perform make/buy analyses for new designs by reviewing drawings, sketches, and schematics.
• Determine necessary capital equipment, facility requirements, manufacturing technologies, and other manufacturing requirements for emerging programs.
• Develop manufacturing processes, procedures, tool designs, production layouts, cost estimates, and configuration control methods for efficient manufacturing of new products.
• Identify emerging manufacturing technologies and perform cost/benefit analysis for implementation.
• Develop factory floorplans and equipment arrangements with facilities to ensure efficient and productive flow.
• Develop detailed manufacturing process documents by providing technical know‑how and drive best practices.
• Develop detailed production plans to support new products.
• Provide technical support to both internal and external suppliers via in‑person and/or phone support.
