As a Manufacturing Engineer, you are responsible for developing and maintaining methods, operating sequences, and processes in the fabrication of parts, components, subassemblies, and final assemblies. You'll work closely with other engineering functions to coordinate the release of product improvements and new products, and you'll use engineering principles to estimate and reduce manufacturing costs, improve product quality, determine time standards, and make recommendations for tooling and process requirements.

Your expertise in lean principles, automation, and continuous improvement will be instrumental in driving operational excellence and achieving higher levels of productivity and cost-effectiveness. You'll develop and use test procedures, evaluate test results, and assess work methods, procedures, and policies to identify root cause issues and solutions that ensure operational success.

• Provides manufacturing engineering support for Final Assembly, Shipping, and Sub-Assembly operations. Supports a wide variety of products and assemblies ranging from simple mechanical builds to highly complex systems requiring assembly, test, packaging, and shipment readiness activities.
• Help develop and improve operation sequences, manufacturing processes, assembly methods, packaging standards, and shipment preparation procedures. May include designing build, lift, handling, shipping, and packaging fixtures, as well as implementing engineering design changes to improve safety, quality, manufacturability, and throughput.
• Evaluates and optimizes manufacturing layouts/build cells, material flow, packaging processes, and shipping operations to streamline production, reduce cycle time, and improve operational efficiency.
• Maintains and optimizes Bills of Material (BOMs), product structures, and configuration data. Collaborates with Design Engineering and Operations to write, release, approve, and implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and product structure updates that support manufacturing, packaging, shipping, installation, and operational efficiency improvements.
• Determines root causes and implements corrective actions for issues arising during assembly, test, packaging, shipment, transportation, or customer installation activities. Uses structured problem-solving methodologies and data-driven analysis to eliminate recurring issues and improve overall product quality and delivery performance.
• Applies Lean Manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies to identify and…
