The Manufacturing Process Engineer II owns the assembly methods and manufacturing documentation used to build pumps and provides technical oversight on the shop floor. The role translates engineering drawings and practical pump knowledge into clear work instructions, controlled build records, and defined hold points. Working closely with Project, Quality, Design Engineering, and the Test Engineer, this person supports assigned builds from preparation through assembly and test readiness.

• Review drawings, bills of materials, tooling, assembly instructions, and inspection requirements before build to identify missing or unclear information and coordinate resolution before the affected work begins.
• Develop, maintain, and implement assembly procedures, work instructions, build travelers, checklists, and inspection records within the controlled document system.
• Define critical assembly steps and propose hold points, acceptance criteria, required measurements, and signoffs with Design Engineering and Quality. Ensure required approvals are obtained before work proceeds.
• Provide direct shop floor support during critical operations.
• Capture practical knowledge from experienced assemblers, service personnel, engineers, and suppliers and incorporate it into approved procedures and training.
• Coordinate investigation and disposition of assembly Pause affected work when requirements are unclear or unmet and obtain the authorized resolution before resuming.
• Train and coach assemblers on approved methods, drawing requirements, and build. Verify that records are completed as work occurs and remain traceable to the pump.
• Work with the Test Engineer to establish assembly readiness for testing, investigate build related findings, and implement approved manufacturing improvements.
• Improve tooling, assembly sequence, and work methods to reduce recurring errors. Follow applicable cleanliness and handling procedures for cryogenic and oxygen service builds.
• Communicate with vendors and clients.
• Have a strong understanding of test instrumentation and control.
• Have a strong knowledge of design and CAD drafting practice.
• Interact confidently with engineering teams, sales, and application groups to provide accurate technical information on manufacturing capabilities and shortfalls.
• Possible travel to customer sites if requested by engineering.

• Engineering degree, technical qualification, or equivalent relevant experience in pump assembly, service, manufacturing support, or comparable rotating equipment.
• Demonstrated understanding of pumps, mechanical seals, bearings, fits, clearances, and assembly practices; ability to interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, and bills of materials.
• Practical experience using dimensional inspection tools and documenting measurements and assembly
• Ability to write clear technical instructions, maintain controlled records, train personnel, and take ownership of issues through resolution.
• Ability to work effectively across Engineering, Production, Quality, and Testing.
