Job summary

MISUMI Americas, a division of MISUMI Group, seeks a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to define how custom parts are built and priced, review manufacturability, and provide design feedback to accelerate product launch timelines. This senior role serves as a technical authority on costing and DFM quality across regions.

The role requires deep experience in manufacturing processes, GD&T, and mentoring engineers.

Qualifications

• 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 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
