Manufacturing Engineer

• Be seen as the main floor contact for mechanical & electrical engineering clarifications and changes.
• For changes that do not affect form/fit/function or the specification, correct via ECN.  Otherwise, engage with applicable Engineer to address.
• Provide daily support to manufacturing operations by resolving technical issues and process bottlenecks.
• Work with engineering on special design considerations.
• Review designs with Engineering before they are released to the floor to ensure ease of manufacture and identify problems and offer suggestions for design improvements (product review kick-off meetings).
• Document and deliver feedback to Engineering and other departments for corrections and/or areas of improvement.
• Develop and improve manufacturing processes and procedures to optimize quality, efficiency, and safety
• Be a change-agent with functional leaders to lower total overall costs.
• Makes recommendations & suggestions regarding materials, materials sourcing, specifications, techniques, practices, issues, or anything quality related.
• Collaborate with Design and Test Engineering teams to ensure seamless transition of products from design to production
• Create and maintain detailed work instructions, process documentation, and manufacturing routings
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective action efforts related to product or process non-conformances
• Design and specify fixtures, tools, and equipment to support manufacturing and assembly operations
• Coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors on component quality and manufacturability issues
• Support Continuous Product Improvement (CPI) initiatives across production and engineering functions
• Analyze manufacturing metrics and data to drive process improvement and cost reduction initiatives
• Ensure compliance with safety standards, ISO procedures, and environmental regulations
• Participate in new product introduction and transfer-to-manufacturing efforts
• Provide training and guidance to production staff and technicians as needed
• Other duties as assigned

• Strong understanding of manufacturing principles, lean practices, and process optimization
• Experience working with electro-mechanical assemblies and power-electronic systems preferred
• Familiarity with manufacturing test environments including high-voltage and high-current systems
• Proficient in troubleshooting manufacturing equipment and process issues
• Hands-on experience with design for manufacturability (DFM), process validation, and documentation control
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and communicate technical concepts clearly
• Proficient with Microsoft Office tools and CAD tools; familiarity with MRP/ERP systems a plus
• Ability to lead continuous improvement and cost reduction efforts
• Awareness of electrical and mechanical safety protocols and manufacturing standards
• Able to work independently, multitask, and make sound technical decisions under pressure
• Able to lift 50 pounds or exert equivalent force as needed in a manufacturing setting
• Tasks may involve prolonged standing or working in an industrial environment
