Manufacturing Engineer

Do you enjoy being on the production floor solving problems, improving processes, and working directly with the people building the product?

At Kinze Manufacturing, we're looking for a Manufacturing Engineer who thrives in a hands‑on manufacturing environment. In this role, you'll partner with production, operations, and design engineering to identify opportunities, eliminate waste, improve quality, and develop practical solutions that make manufacturing safer, more efficient, and more productive.

• Work directly with production teams to solve manufacturing challenges.
• Design tooling, fixtures, and processes that improve safety, quality, and productivity.
• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, reduce waste, and increase efficiency.
• Support new product launches and ensure products are designed for manufacturability.
• Design and implement process improvements throughout manufacturing.
• Recommend new equipment and manufacturing technologies that support continuous improvement.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to build better products and better processes.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, Operations Management, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of manufacturing engineering experience in a fabrication, welding, assembly, or similar manufacturing environment.
• Experience improving manufacturing processes through Lean principles, tooling and fixture design, CAD/3D modeling, and manufacturing systems.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Enjoys working on the production floor alongside manufacturing teams.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship from Kinze Manufacturing.

At Kinze, you'll see the impact of your work every day from the ideas you develop to the products rolling off the production line. If you're the type of engineer who would rather be improving a manufacturing process than sitting behind a desk all day, we'd love to hear from you.
