Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineer (Entry Level)

Industry: Precision Metal Fabrication, Metal Stamping & Manufacturing

About the Opportunity

We're partnering with a well-established, family-owned precision manufacturing company with over 70 years of success serving customers across industries including aerospace, defense, medical, industrial, automotive, and consumer products.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate or early-career engineer looking to build a well-rounded career in manufacturing. Rather than being limited to design work alone, you'll work directly with engineering, production, quality, machining, fabrication, and work to improve manufacturing processes.

What You'll Do:
  • Collaborate with senior engineers on new product introductions and existing product improvements.
  • Create and update 3D models, engineering drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation using Solid Works.
  • Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives to improve manufacturability, quality, and production efficiency.
  • Work closely with production, machining, fabrication, welding, and quality teams to troubleshoot manufacturing issues.
  • Assist with tooling, fixtures, gauges, and work holding concepts that improve production processes.
  • Participate in continuous improvement and process optimization projects focused on safety, quality, and efficiency.
  • Help identify root causes of production issues and implement corrective actions.
  • Support prototype builds and transition new products into production.
  • Develop and maintain engineering documentation, work instructions, and manufacturing standards.
  • Spend time on the production floor learning manufacturing processes and supporting day-to-day operations.
  • Collaborate across departments to ensure products meet customer specifications and quality requirements.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering.
  • Internship, co-op, or project experience in manufacturing is a plus.
  • Experience with Solid Works or similar 3D CAD software.
  • Strong understanding of engineering drawings and basic GD&T principles.
  • Interest in manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, or metal stamping.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative team environment.
  • Eagerness to learn, take initiative, and grow within a manufacturing organization.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
  • Join a financially stable manufacturer with more than 70 years of success.
  • Family-oriented culture with exceptional employee retention.
  • Exposure to both Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering—not just sitting behind a CAD screen.
  • Work directly with production and experienced engineers while gaining hands-on manufacturing experience.
  • Diverse projects spanning design, manufacturing support, tooling, process improvement, and production optimization.
  • Opportunity to make a visible impact on products and manufacturing operations.
  • Leadership team committed to mentorship, professional development, and promoting from within.
  • Build a strong foundation in metal fabrication, machining, welding, stamping, and manufacturing engineering that will accelerate your long-term career growth.
