Who We Are Looking For

We're looking for an experienced manufacturing engineer who bridges product design and production—whether that means shaping capacity and design requirements early on, or taking a finished design and determining the best way to bring it to production. You bring strong analytical instincts, a hands‑on approach, and the ability to solve complex problems without a clear precedent to follow. You communicate clearly, whether documenting a process, leading root cause investigations, or collaborating with multi-functional teams.

This role offers ownership over how products get built—from cell layout and tooling to the documentation that keeps production running at target rates.

What You Get To Do

• Bridge product design and production, ensuring designs can be manufactured efficiently and to spec
• Develop and document manufacturing processes, process flows, and work instructions from prototype through production
• Design cell layouts, fixtures, and tooling using lean principles
• Conduct timing studies to identify bottlenecks and optimize line performance
• Specify and source manufacturing equipment
• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis to resolve and prevent issues
• Contribute to Lean 2P/3P events and Value Stream Analyses to reduce waste
• Build preventative maintenance plans and champion a safe manufacturing environment
• Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) efforts for clients as needed

What You Bring To The Team

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in manufacturing, mechanical, or related engineering field, plus 5+ years of manufacturing experience
• Strong analytical skills (statistics, advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry)
• Proficiency in CAD/CAE tools (preferably Solid Works) and strong Excel skills
• Advanced written/verbal communication skills for technical and business documents
• Ability to solve complex, novel problems with creativity and sound judgment
• Willingness to travel domestically 10–20%
• Nice to have: machine design/solving experience; ERP familiarity (e.g., Syteline)
