Manufacturing Engineer

A growing production organization is adding a Manufacturing Engineer to help strengthen shop floor performance, improve repeatability, and support a culture of practical continuous improvement. This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys working close to operations, solving real production issues, and helping turn good processes into scalable, well-documented systems. The role is especially well suited for an engineer with solid mechanical instincts, a hands on mindset, and experience improving manufacturing workflows in a fast moving environment.

• Direct visibility into manufacturing performance and the chance to influence efficiency, quality, and day to day execution.
• A hands on engineering environment where practical ideas are valued and quickly put into action.
• Close partnership with production and quality teams on meaningful process improvement work.
• Exposure to mechanical manufacturing operations, tooling, documentation, and standardization efforts.
• Longer term growth potential within a stable and evolving operation.

• Build and update work instructions, standard operating procedures, and other manufacturing documentation that support safe, consistent production.
• Evaluate current workflows, identify process gaps, and recommend improvements that increase throughput, reduce waste, and strengthen quality performance.
• Partner with production personnel to troubleshoot recurring issues and convert short term fixes into lasting process improvements.
• Support the design or refinement of fixtures and tooling used to improve manufacturability and shop floor efficiency.
• Review production data and operating trends to identify bottlenecks, variation, and opportunities for better performance.
• Work cross functionally with operations and quality stakeholders to support continuous improvement efforts and stronger process control.
• Help create practical, repeatable methods that improve output while supporting cost, quality, and delivery objectives.

• Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Process Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Experience in manufacturing engineering with a track record of process optimization or process improvement.
• Experience creating SOPs, work instructions, or other manufacturing documentation.
• Strong Excel skills and solid mechanical aptitude.
• Exposure to fixture or tooling design is preferred.
• Ability to work effectively with production teams and communicate technical ideas clearly.
