Manufacturing Engineer

Primary Responsibilities

• Process Optimization:
  Design and implement manufacturing processes for tube bending, laser cutting, and CNC machining to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
• Technical Support:
  Provide hands-on troubleshooting for production floor issues, assisting machinists and operators with machine failures or quality deviations.
• Tooling & Fixturing:
  Use CAD/CAM software (such as Solid Works) to design and fabricate production tooling, jigs, and fixtures that ensure part consistency.
• Project Management:
  Lead capital projects from inception to installation, including selecting new machinery and defining layouts for workflow improvement.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Champion Lean manufacturing principles, such as 5S and Kaizen, to reduce lead times and production costs.
• Documentation:
  Develop and maintain detailed work instructions, routing sequences, and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) documents.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Education: A Bachelor's or Associate’s degree in Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering.
• Technical Proficiency:
• Strong knowledge of G-code and CNC machine programming.
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering blueprints and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Experience with metal fabrication processes (e.g., tube bending, robotic welding, and laser cutting).
• Physical Requirements:
  Ability to stand for up to 8 hours on the manufacturing floor and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
