HOW YOU MAKE AN IMPACTThe Manufacturing Engineer II is a hands-on, intermediate-level engineer responsible for developing, sustaining, troubleshooting, and improving manufacturing processes for precision mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical products. The engineer supports daily production, new product introduction (NPI), product transfers, tooling and fixture readiness, process documentation, engineering changes, and continuous improvement. The role emphasizes manufacturing process ownership and uses hardware test troubleshooting as a supporting capability, not its primary function.
The engineer independently resolves routine to moderately complex manufacturing issues, uses data and sound engineering judgment to identify root causes, implements and verifies corrective actions, and escalates high-risk or design-authority decisions as appropriate.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE Manufacturing Engineering and Production Support (approximately 70%)- Provide daily engineering support to production teams; resolve assembly, workmanship, process, tooling, fixture, material, and documentation issues to minimize downtime and rework.
- Develop, maintain, and improve manufacturing processes, routing, work instructions, process flow diagrams, assembly methods, and standardized work in accordance with approved engineering requirements.
- Review engineering drawings, specifications, BOMs, tolerances, and change notices; translate product requirements into repeatable and practical manufacturing methods.
- Support NPI, pilot builds, product transfers, process qualifications, and manufacturing readiness, including identification and closure of build risks and action items.
- Evaluate and implement engineering changes (ECO/ECN) with consideration for WIP, inventory, tooling, fixtures, documentation, training, and production cutover.
- Specify, evaluate, and improve manufacturing tooling, fixtures, and equipment, coordinate maintenance, calibration, and validation as applicable.
- Partner with Quality and Operations to investigate nonconformances, assess technical dispositions within delegated authority, and implement effective containment and corrective actions.
- Analyze scrap, rework, first-pass yield (FPY), cycle time, throughput, defects, and process capability to prioritize improvements and confirm results.
- Apply structured problem-solving tools such as 5-Why, fishbone, 8D, and CAPA, document evidence, corrective actions, verification, and closure.
- Lead or contribute to practical Lean and continuous improvement projects, including waste reduction, error-proofing, standardization, and process stability.
- Support risk assessment and process controls using PFMEA, Process flow diagrams, GR & R control plans, or equivalent tools where applicable; coordinate with Quality on inspection and acceptance requirements.
- Support production test and inspection processes, including basic hardware troubleshooting, test fixture issues, test…
