Manufacturing Engineer

Job Title:

Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

The Manufacturing Engineer will play a key role in a large-scale ERP transformation to Oracle while improving manufacturing execution in a highly custom, low-volume environment that produces creative solutions such as pump skid packages, chiller systems, and custom commercial equipment. This role serves as a critical bridge between engineering and manufacturing, ensuring accurate product data flows from Windchill (PLM) into Apriso (MES/MOM) and aligns seamlessly with Oracle ERP.

The successful candidate will apply strong manufacturing fundamentals and system integration experience to drive efficiency, quality, and process standardization across the factory.

Responsibilities

+ Maintain and structure bills of materials (BOMs) in Windchill to ensure accurate release into Apriso.

+ Ensure alignment of product and process data across Windchill (PLM), Apriso (MES), and Oracle ERP systems.

+ Support the ERP transformation by mapping data, validating system integration, and identifying and resolving data and process gaps.

+ Develop method sheets, work instructions, and standardized work based on BOMs to support consistent shop floor execution.

+ Create and update manufacturing routings, cycle times, and process flows to optimize throughput and resource utilization.

+ Design workstations, flow lines, and layouts that improve efficiency, ergonomics, and product quality.

+ Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities related to throughput, weld cells, downtime reduction, and quality enhancement.

+ Lead and support root cause analysis, statistical studies, and corrective actions to address manufacturing issues.

+ Improve productivity, equipment performance, and overall manufacturing efficiency through data-driven initiatives.

+ Provide technical guidance on manufacturing processes and product design issues to support engineering and production teams.

+ Maintain manufacturing standards, including process maps, tooling requirements, quality controls, and cycle times.

+ Partner with environmental health and safety (EHS) teams to ensure equipment and processes comply with OSHA requirements.

+ Support factory implementation activities related to the Oracle ERP transition, bridging engineering data and shop floor execution.

+ Collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers to ensure smooth adoption of new systems and processes.

Essential Skills

+ 5+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment, including BOM management, routing, and manufacturing process design.

+ Hands-on manufacturing engineering experience in a low-volume, highly customized production environment.

+ ERP system experience, including participation in implementation, integration, or optimization projects.

+ PLM system experience, with direct experience in Windchill strongly preferred.

+

Experience with Apriso or similar MES/MOM systems for managing shop floor execution.

+ Proficiency in Creo or similar CAD tools for supporting product and process design.

+ Strong aptitude for mechanical and electrical applications as they relate to equipment and manufacturing processes.

+ Experience managing or supporting an ERP conversion, ideally involving Oracle ERP.

+ Demonstrated ability to bridge engineering data with shop floor execution and manufacturing operations.

+ Experience in project management, including planning, coordination, and execution of manufacturing or system integration projects.

+ Experience in process automation within manufacturing environments.

+ HVAC industry experience or exposure to HVAC-related products and systems.

+ Ability to conduct root cause analysis and statistical studies to support corrective actions and continuous improvement.

+ Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with engineering, operations, and EHS teams.
