The Engineer 2, Manufacturing provides a range of expertise in supporting and improving the manufacturing capabilities to produce products. The Engineer will contribute to improving a range of fabrication processes that can directly impact the sustaining and growth efforts of operations. This position will be focused on design and deployment of digital motion systems-this includes, but is not limited to: robot programming, working with outside vendors for turnkey systems, and deployment/maintenance of data collection and monitoring equipment.

The Engineer will participate in both the introduction of new products and technology as well as amelioration of existing processes.

• Evaluates manufacturing processes by designing and conducting research programs; applying knowledge of product design, programming, assembly, tooling, and materials.
• Develops manufacturing processes and designs by studying product requirements; researching, designing, modifying, and implementing manufacturing methods and equipment.
• Optimization of process and consulting with process engineers on a “design for manufacturability” approach.
• Understands and minimizes both technical process variability and human process variability.
• Participates in Design and NC Programming and maintaining revision control for processes and designs.
• Improves manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning work flow, space requirements, and equipment layout.
• Provides manufacturing decision‑making information by calculating production, labor, and material costs; reviewing production schedules; estimating future requirements.
• Coordinates with outside vendors on development and design of turn‑key automated systems.
• Regular, consistent and punctual attendance is required. May need to work nights and weekends, variable schedule(s), and additional hours as necessary.
