This position serves as a senior technical resource within Manufacturing Engineering, leading complex engineering projects from concept through production, resolving challenging manufacturing issues, and providing technical guidance to engineers and cross-functional teams. The Senior Manufacturing Engineer evaluates manufacturing methods, equipment, tooling, materials, and process performance to develop solutions that improve quality, efficiency, manufacturability, cost, and operational performance.

The role also provides technical leadership and mentorship to engineering personnel and serves as a key engineering resource for Operations, Quality, R&D, customers, and suppliers.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Serve as a senior technical resource and subject-matter expert for manufacturing processes, machining, tooling, equipment, validation, and process improvement.
• Lead complex manufacturing engineering projects from concept through production, establishing technical requirements, priorities, project plans, and engineering solutions.
• Apply advanced engineering principles and independent technical judgment to develop, evaluate, and improve manufacturing processes, routings, methods, tooling, and equipment.
• Serve as project manager and technical engineering point of contact for assigned customer and internal projects, independently evaluating technical requirements, risks, and manufacturing solutions.
• Develop and implement PFPs, PFMEAs, Control Plans, and other engineering documentation necessary to establish and maintain robust manufacturing processes.
• Review customer orders, drawings, specifications, and technical requirements and determine appropriate manufacturing methods and processing requirements to produce cost-effective, conforming components and assemblies.
• Research, analyze, design, modify, test, and implement manufacturing methods and equipment consistent with customer quality agreements and company procedures.

• Evaluate and improve manufacturing processes by applying advanced knowledge of product design, fabrication, machining, assembly, tooling, materials, and quality requirements.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies to analyze manufacturing performance and lead continuous-improvement initiatives that reduce waste, product cost, and lead time while maintaining or improving product quality.
• Develop and review engineering drawings, BOMs, manufacturing routings, and technical documentation within the ERP system.
• Analyze engineering drawings for product functionality, manufacturability, inspection requirements, tolerances, and manufacturing risk.
• Provide technical evaluation and engineering oversight of suppliers and manufacturing vendors.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Manufacturing Engineers and other technical personnel regarding manufacturing methods, validation, equipment, tooling, and problem resolution.
• Participate in and provide senior engineering input during design reviews with R&D teams, customers, Quality, and Operations.
• Provide recommendations regarding manufacturability, manufacturing processes, validation, materials, tooling, equipment, and process capability.
• Participate in supplier audits with Quality and evaluate manufacturing processes and engineering controls to determine whether applicable technical and quality requirements are met.
• Lead the engineering development and implementation of manufacturing processes for new products and customer orders from concept through production, including manufacturing feasibility, equipment, tooling, validation, and process requirements.
