Production Engineer: Design-to-Manufacturing Link

SilencerCo; Riverton (UT); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Zev Technologies is seeking a Production Engineer to serve as the technical bridge between Design Engineering and Production Operations. You will translate designs into manufacturable, repeatable processes and feed manufacturability input back to design.

The role supports in-house manufacturing capability, equipment, and process development with hands-on floor time. The ideal candidate has CAD experience (SolidWorks), ERP/MRP/MES exposure (Odoo preferred), and a proven track record of improving

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Technology or related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, automation/robotics, CNC machining, or mechanical engineering in a production environment.
• Working CAD experience, preferably SolidWorks, for fixture, tooling, and equipment design.
• Experience using an ERP, MRP, MES, or similar system to support and track production data; Odoo experience is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience improving assembly and production operations, including initiatives that increased throughput or delivered measurable cost savings.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Quality, Manufacturing, and Operations.
• Comfortable splitting time between design/CAD work and hands-on time on the production floor.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary technical link between Design Engineering and Manufacturing, translating designs into producible, repeatable production and assembly processes.
• Support process development and continuous improvement as the company brings additional manufacturing capability, equipment, and processes in-house.
• Develop, document, and maintain work instructions, process routings, and production documentation to standardize and stabilize processes.
• Troubleshoot production and assembly issues on the floor, partnering with Manufacturing and Quality to identify root cause and implement corrective actions.
• Drive initiatives that improve assembly and production operations, increase throughput, and deliver measurable cost savings.
• Design and support development of fixtures, tooling, jigs, and other production aids, primarily using SolidWorks.
• Support selection, integration, and improvement of production equipment, automation, and material handling systems as in-house capability expands.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Operations on equipment layout, workflow, and capacity planning for new or improved processes.
• Use Odoo, our ERP system, to support and track production data, routings, bills of material, and work orders.
• Help improve production data integrity and how the organization uses Odoo and related systems to plan and track work.
• Support data-driven decisions around throughput, yield, downtime, and other production metrics.
• Work closely with Quality to support inspection planning, resolve nonconformances, and improve process capability.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Operations on production planning, staffing, and workflow to meet delivery commitments.
• Provide manufacturability and production feedback to Design Engineering early in the design process.
