Manufacturing Engineer

Description

The Manufacturing Engineer 1 position will provide production support by updating tooling and routings, assisting with NPI, reviewing current product change notices, driving continuous improvement initiatives, authoring standard work documentation in Teamcenter/SAP, and supporting 3D printing activities. This role works collaboratively with a cross‑functional team that includes Manufacturing Engineers, Project Engineers, and Facility Engineers. The Manufacturing Engineer 1 engages in Rapid Improvement Workshops (RIWs), problem‑solving sessions, and Learning Team projects.
