Manufacturing Engineer; 2nd Shift

Manufacturing Engineer

The incumbent provides technical support to the production shops solving problems and improving processes associated with the parts he/she is responsible for. These problems may arise for any number of reasons such as tooling, machine tool, gauging, heat treating, and plating.

The solution of these problems may require the Manufacturing Engineer's decision alone, or could result in contacting and working with other members of the Manufacturing Engineering Department, Client Product or Design Engineers, Quality Assurance personnel, M & P Engineers, Inspectors, Production supervision, Purchasing, Production Scheduling, or Client vendors.

As a result, the Manufacturing Engineer must not only possess the human relations skills necessary to work effectively with a variety of people, but must also have the initiative to contact and coordinate with other groups when a problem solution so requires.

The incumbent will be required to use computer systems in preparing operation sheets, N/C programs and standards.

Additionally the incumbent will work with various Client engineering groups in an ongoing effort to apply concurrent engineering principles. For training and development purposes, assignments may include some work that is typical of a higher level.

Performs routine manufacturing engineering work requiring the application of standard engineering techniques and procedures.

Working as part of a Manufacturing Engineering Group, the primary area of responsibility is supporting developing and mature production programs in the fabrication shop.

He/She uses judgment in developing, adapting and modifying manufacturing engineering procedures.

In pre-production and production phases of a program, the Mfg. Engineer will determine manufacturing procedures, establish operation sequencing, prepare tooling and gauging lists, prepare and proveout N/C programs and write detailed operation sheets to produce complex machined parts and sub-assemblies to meet engineering drawings.

He/She will also prepare engineered or estimated time standards for setup and run hours for each operation.
