Manufacturing Engineer

The ideal candidate for the Manufacturing Engineer Role possesses both a high level of technical expertise and an innate passion to build. You will play a critical role in creating and refining processes in order to improve manufacturing safety, quality, and productivity.

• Support the design, development, and optimization of manufacturing processes
• Ensure all manufactured and assembled components meet critical tolerances per print requirements
• Collaborate with product and design engineers to ensure components are manufacturable and meet performance requirements
• Design and procure tooling, fixtures, gauges, and automation systems required for efficient and repeatable production
• Provide day‑to‑day support for production lines, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions to reduce downtime and defects
• Apply Lean principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and other continuous improvement tools to optimize production flow and reduce waste
• Work closely with Quality Engineering to ensure processes meet all ISO/IATF 16949 and customer‑specific requirements
• Analyze process data, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions for continuous improvement
• Support new product launches, process validation, and PPAP submissions
• Create and maintain standard work instructions, process flow diagrams, PFMEAs, and control plans
• Lead cost‑saving initiatives related to labor, materials, equipment utilization, and process improvements
• Train production personnel on processes and best practices

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering field
• 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing or test engineering environment (automotive preferred)
• Competent in understanding of machining processes (turning, milling, hobbing, shaping, etc.) and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T)
• Familiarity with robotic automation, PLC programming, or vision systems
• Ability to read technical drawings and interpret 3D CAD models
• Proficient in data analysis, root cause investigation, and process troubleshooting
• Knowledge of quality systems and tools (e.g., SPC, PFMEA, APQP, PPAP)
  Strong problem-solving and project management skills
• Focus on supporting the manufacturing of powertrain components and assemblies. This role will be critical in developing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes that ensure safety, quality, efficiency, and cost effectiveness.
