Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Engineer – Harrison, OH

Looking for a career where your engineering mindset shows up in the real world – on the shop floor, in the build process, and in the performance of machines customers rely on every day? At Cincinnati Incorporated, you’ll be right in the center of how world‑class industrial machines are built, translating engineering intent into manufacturing reality by routing parts, improving fabrication and assembly processes, and driving Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA).

This is a hands‑on, cross‑functional manufacturing engineering role where you partner with Engineering, Production, and Operations to solve production challenges, reduce cost, improve flow, and ensure designs are built efficiently, consistently, and at the highest quality. If you’re the type who naturally asks “how can this be built better?” and wants to see those improvements implemented directly on the floor, this is your kind of environment.

Cincinnati Incorporated has been manufacturing machinery since the late 1890s. We pride ourselves on a hard day’s work and quality. Quality is not only seen in our products but also in our team members. CI employees have shaped the reputation and culture at CI with their uncompromising integrity, focus, and innovation. The icing on the cake: CI offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits package.

Supports Manufacturing and Manufacturing Engineering in the processing of CI’s products through available manufacturing processes (fabrication, machining & assembly), and by supporting CI’s manufacturing initiatives of developing and improving manufacturing processes and equipment; along with reviewing and improving products for Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA).

• Develop and maintain a working knowledge of the manufacturing technologies and available CI manufacturing resources.
• Route parts and assemblies necessary to produce product or related tooling projects.
• Gather and analyze production, labor, and material cost data to establish, improve, and maintain routing standards and relative accuracy.
• Interface with Engineering for clarification, correction, or requested changes (finish, tolerance, or design) as needed to reliably manufacture and produce parts and products.
• Liaison with Engineering and other departments providing input, assisting in processing, fabrication, manufacturing & assembly methods, with DFMA in mind.
• Provides manufacturing decision‑making information by calculating production, labor, and material costs; reviewing production schedules; estimating future requirements.
• Learn and support the programming requirements for the fab shop;
  Laser/Plasma/Oxy cutting and Press Brake Bend Simulation as delegated by supervision.
• Investigate and root cause production issues.
• Interface with others outside the department throughout the organization as needed to acquire, clarify, and/or resolve any issues related to projects.
• Improve manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning workflow, space requirements, and equipment layout applying CI’s production philosophies like OPEX.
• Contribute to team effort by accomplishing related results as needed.
• Perform any of the above autonomously or with others as deemed necessary by supervision.

• Prepares product and process reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information and trends.
• Release Manufacturing Orders necessary to produce product or related tooling.
• Assures product and process quality by designing testing methods; testing finished‑product and process capabilities; establishing standards; confirming manufacturing processes.
• Assist in plant layouts, capital purchases, installations, and disposals as needed and assigned by supervision.
• Perform duties and responsibilities of a CNC Programmer as needed and assigned by supervision.
• Perform duties and responsibilities of a Tooling Engineer as needed and assigned by supervision.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Technologies or Mechanical Engineering.
• Co‑op plus two or more years…
