Manufacturing Engineer Summary The Manufacturing Engineer develops, deploys, and scales production processes and the equipment that runs them. This role owns assigned processes end to end — requirements, equipment specification, validation, commissioning, and ramp — and ensures they run safely, reliably, and at rate. The ideal candidate has personally brought a production process from development to stable output and is comfortable solving electromechanical and process problems on the floor. We are hiring multiple engineers across levels; scope and independence scale with level. Key Responsibilities • Own development, installation, and ramp of manufacturing processes and automated equipment. • Develop process flows, cycle-time models, line balancing, and station-level specifications; define performance metrics. • Lead PFMEA, control plans, and process validation; establish SPC and capability (Cp/Cpk) on critical characteristics. • Write equipment specifications; work with suppliers and internal design teams through design reviews and acceptance. • Lead FAT/SAT, commissioning, and equipment acceptance. • Conduct root-cause analysis across mechanical, electrical, controls, and process domains; close to permanent corrective action. • Develop work instructions, operating procedures, maintenance plans, and critical spares lists. • Improve throughput, yield, and reliability through data-driven experimentation and continuous improvement. • Ensure processes and equipment meet ergonomic, safety, and regulatory requirements. Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Chemical, or related engineering field. • Engineer: 2+ years · Senior: 5+ years · Staff: 7+ years in manufacturing or process engineering in high-volume or high-precision production. • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex electromechanical equipment. • Experience with equipment commissioning, validation, and acceptance. • Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, and automation debugging. • Ability to travel to supplier and production sites as required. Level Expectations Staff additionally owns the process architecture for a program, leads supplier and design reviews, and mentors engineers. Preferred Skills • DOE, SPC, Gage R&R, OEE tracking, and yield analysis. • Structured RCA: 8D, A3, DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Whys. • Forging, CNC machining, heat treatment, welding, filling and pressing, or mechanical assembly processes. • Hazardous-materials or energetics process experience. • Supplier qualification and vendor management.
