• Direct and coordinate fabrication and installation activities to ensure equipment and systems conform to engineering designs and specifications.
• Collaborate with planning and design teams to develop tooling and equipment that enable efficient production methods.
• Work with vendors to define equipment specifications, procure materials or parts, and evaluate vendor‑supplied equipment against quality and performance standards.
• Apply statistical methods to assess equipment capability and support forecasting of maintenance or mold repair requirements.
• Research and analyze equipment design proposals, specifications, and manuals to determine feasibility and recommend design approaches.
• Design mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, and electromechanical systems and ensure proper interfaces between machines, hardware, and software.
• Plan and direct engineering personnel in fabrication, testing, and development of control apparatus, methods, and procedures.
• Coordinate operation, maintenance, and repair activities to optimize machine utilization and recommend modifications to eliminate malfunctions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline (required).
• Minimum 4 years of hands‑on manufacturing engineering experience, preferably within automotive or motor vehicle parts production.
• Proficiency in CAD for mechanical design and drawing release.
• Strong understanding of mechanical and electromechanical system design, including hydraulic, thermal, and machine interfaces.
• Experience with vendor relations, equipment specification, and procurement processes.
• Practical application of statistical methods (e.g., SPC) to evaluate equipment capability and inform maintenance/repair decisions.
• Proven ability to lead fabrication/installation activities and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to implement production solutions.

• Experience with PLC programming and control systems integration.
• Familiarity with instrumentation, utilities, and plant‑level systems.
• Background in robotics, automation, or controls engineering used in manufacturing.
• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies.
• Experience with GD&T, FEA, or advanced simulation tools.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or relevant certifications in manufacturing/quality engineering.
• Previous experience in supplier quality assurance, vendor auditing, or equipment qualification.
