Job description

Manufacturing Engineer

A Snapshot of Your Day

You, as an integral part of a larger manufacturing team, will engage with the hourly workforce, manufacturing operations, design engineering, and project management, to develop and refine the process needed to satisfy the technical requirements of incoming customer service orders for steam turbines. These turbines range in size starting at a few thousand pounds up to over 200 tons. Over the course of every year our production traverses two outage seasons that are exciting and challenging: this is when electrical energy providers pause their power generation operations during times of low consumer demand having their equipment serviced in our factory. Some turbines come into our facility with very challenging needs, which takes your expertise to generate tooling and procedures for repair. You will shift between forward-looking process improvement innovations to urgent problems that require your immediate attention and applied expertise to maintain customer schedule. This job opportunity was developed to technically support the weekend operations working a 3x12 shift, Friday through Sunday.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• You will apply your educational background, intellect, and hands-on experience to unique problems encountered on the manufacturing floor.
• Develop new tooling and process innovations through both experimentation, and manufacturing design and process forethought.
• Creation and issuance of detailed work instructions to factory floor operations in SAP
• Standardize processes for future training, reference, and execution of customer orders.
• Hands-on interaction with shop floor personnel and equipment.
• Training others in learned and developed processes.
• Estimate manufacturing process durations for labor quoting purposes.
• Challenge the status quo with well researched/vetted ideas that withstand the test of technical debate.
• Prepare geometric layout of designs using proper CAD software for tooling/fixturing.
• Professionally interface with Design Engineering and internal/external customers
• Communicate well with weekday team members both verbally and through thoroughly documented summaries.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering. Other degrees will be evaluated for equivalency.
• Practical application of mechanical engineering principles learned in earning degree: physics fundamentals as applied to a manufacturing environment.
• Three or more years of hands‑on experience working with manufacturing methods: metal working, hand tool usage, running knee mills [Bridport style], benchtop lathes, and ability to clearly articulate your experience using such tooling.
• Proven experience in technical writing to clearly communicate mechanical concepts.
• Established record of working well with others in a collaborative environment
• Proven ability to interface with hourly workforce to troubleshoot current methods, as well as write and implement new processes.
• Fluency in CAD package usage (preferably NX or AutoCAD)
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
