Descripción de la vacante

MISUMI Americas is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to define how custom parts are built and priced, review manufacturability, and provide design feedback for faster time-to-market. You will quote, develop cost calculators, and drive DFx improvements across regions while mentoring junior engineers.

The role interfaces with builders, manufacturing partners, and sales teams, and requires strong GD&T knowledge, hands-on machining experience, and the ability to work autonomously in a remote

Formación

• 4-year Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent technical training.
• 5-10 years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, costing/DFM, or related custom mechanical hardware work.
• Hands-on experience across multiple custom mechanical manufacturing processes (sheet metal, urethane casting, injection molding, etc.); CNC machining and 3D printing experience is a must.
• Strong understanding of GD&T and conventional (coordinate) tolerancing, and deep knowledge of the manufacturability and limitations of common metals and plastics.
• Experience mentoring or coaching other engineers and acting as a technical resource; collaborating with offshore/GCC teams is a plus.
• Proven ability to lead through influence and coordinate cross-functional or dotted-line teams without direct reporting authority.
• Thrives with a high degree of autonomy—owns their workload end to end, exercises sound technical judgment independently, and drives decisions to closure in a remote environment with minimal oversight.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English; comfortable working across multicultural, cross-functional teams.
• Meticulous and detail-oriented, with a documentation mindset. Experience with APQP/PPAP, IQ/OQ/PQ, EV/DV/PV, or NPI processes and/or PMP certification is a plus.
• Experience in AS9100, ISO 13485, or other highly regulated industries is highly recommended.

Responsabilidades

• Release package review - Analyze models, drawings, parts lists, and other data to determine scope of work, manufacturing feasibility, requirements, and minimum lead time.
• Quoting - Combine engineering analysis with platform recommendations to generate quotes for builders or collaborate with external suppliers to determine the parameters needed to quote.
• Cost calculator generation - Use fabrication expertise and an understanding of process cost drivers to build cost calculators that bring quoting in-house for new service offerings.
• DFx feedback - Provide design-for-manufacturability and design-for-assembly feedback to builders, recommending changes that improve manufacturability, reduce part cost, or ease assembly.
• Automation feedback - Feed insights back to the quoting software team to improve the accuracy of automated quoting across manufacturing services.
• Drawing generation - Produce high-quality 2D drawings per ANSI/ASME Y14.5 standards.
• Coaching & mentorship - Coach and mentor engineers on the US and GCC Costing and DFM teams, sharing fabrication and costing expertise to help them grow.
• Best practices & peer review - Help establish and document costing and DFM best practices, review work, and provide feedback that improves technical accuracy and consistency across regions.
• Cross-functional leadership - Lead through influence across engineering, sourcing, sales, quality, and software, aligning stakeholders on costing and DFM decisions without relying on direct authority.
• Dotted-line coordination - Guide and coordinate the technical work of engineers who do not report to this role (including GCC and cross-regional partners) and keep shared initiatives on track.
• All employees are expected to maintain and contribute to the QMS.
