The primary purpose of the MFGE Technician is to leverage technical expertise and hands‑on engineering and manufacturing experience towards
1) the development of processes and improvements for new products and
2) the sustainment and improvement of existing products. This position is divided into three classifications:
Manufacturing Engineering Technician 1,2,3. The compensation pay band includes and is based on level of skills, knowledge, and experience.

Level 1 is an introductory level of MFGE status within Trust Automation, with the path for increased experience and autonomy under the supervision of the MFGE Manager, with peer mentoring by other MFGE personnel, and in collaboration with other departments within Operations and Engineering.

Level 2 is an intermediate level of MFGE status within Trust Automation, with increasing accountability and ability to operate independently. In comparison to Level 1, there is less direct supervision under the MFGE Manager, and more time assigned towards direct collaboration within IPTs (Integrated Product Teams) and higher level stakeholders within Operations and Engineering.

Level 3 is the highest level of MFGE Technician and is defined by the ability to independently develop and implement plans for solutions and improvements to process and products, to monitor status of those plans, and to report updates and deviations to those plans to the MFGE Manager. By using the skillsets acquired within MFGE, this role becomes more of a mentoring and delegation of technical and process development skillsets to newer MFGE technicians, MFG personnel, and allows autonomy in working with all other departments as a key product stakeholder.

This role culminates the growing knowledge base of all aspects within Trust's product realization process along with significant technical expertise in the assembly, testing, and operation of a product, to result in independent assessments and comprehensive proposals for lean improvements to that product.
