Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

The Manufacturing Engineer designs, develops, and optimizes manufacturing processes to ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality production of complex capital equipment and mechanical systems. This role serves as the technical bridge between Design Engineering and shop floor operations, ensuring products are manufacturable, scalable, and delivered on schedule.

Through process innovation, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous improvement, this role drives operational efficiency, product reliability, and successful deployment of manufacturing technologies supporting high-complexity, low-volume equipment manufacturing environments.

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or related field
• 2-5 years of manufacturing engineering experience within drilling equipment, heavy equipment manufacturing, construction equipment, earth-moving equipment, industrial machinery, or other capital equipment manufacturing environments.
• Proven experience developing and optimizing manufacturing processes for mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical products
• Experience supporting design-to-production transitions and manufacturability assessments
• Working knowledge of ERP systems, including BOM structures, routings, and production data management
• Proficiency with CAD/CAM tools and Microsoft Office Suite
• Lean Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher preferred) or equivalent experience
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering, operations, and leadership
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated knowledge of fabrication, machining, welding, coating, assembly, and inspection processes associated with complex engineered equipment.

• Experience supporting the manufacture of drilling equipment, heavy equipment, construction equipment, earth-moving machinery, industrial equipment, or other complex capital equipment products
• Master's degree in engineering or related discipline
• APICS or equivalent operations/supply chain certification
• Deep understanding of fabrication, machining, welding, coating, assembly, and testing processes used in high-complexity, low-volume manufacturing environments.
• Experience with failure analysis, root cause investigations, and reliability improvement
• Experience supporting global manufacturing deployment, training, or technology transfer
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally and support extended assignments
• Experience supporting or leading manufacturing technology implementation projects
