Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

This person will help design an assembly line by calculating demand at capacity, building Excel files to compute the number of stations needed, reviewing OMS/work content to potentially combine work stations, manipulating and creating new AutoCAD details to build the line, ensuring proper ergonomics and work cell spacing, considering new utilities/tooling/equipment needed to support production, and creating capex plans.

• BS in Engineering.
• Experience with assembly line design, using Demand Flow Technology (DFT) preferred (basically using data to balance lines and determine number of stations and sequence of events, etc.)
• Other assembly line design methodology will be considered in lieu of DFT -- ultimately, the person needs to have experience with line balancing and takt time, etc.; this is critical and will be asked about in the interview.
• Mobile equipment background. Automotive or heavy equipment industry background preferred; not interested in pure aerospace folks.
• Strong knowledge of Lean principles.
• Familiarity with PLC, automation, machining, welding, assembly techniques, time studies, and torque tooling.
• AutoCAD and Excel skills.
• Some budgetary experience for capex creation, and project planning experience for the line design implementation.
• Core Tree experience for determining Build IDs.
