Manufacturing Engineering Full Time Professional Springfield, MO, US

The Electrical Engineer applies electrical engineering principles to improve the safety, quality, repeatability, and efficiency of Genie Reconditioning's heavy-equipment reconditioning operations. This is a production-facing manufacturing engineering role, not a product-design or product-documentation position. The engineer develops electrical assembly and verification methods and provides advanced technical problem solving for wiring, controls, sensors, and electrical production processes.

• Provide daily production-floor engineering support across disassembly, preparation/paint, and assembly operations for Genie mobile elevating work platforms.
• Apply engineering analysis and independent technical judgment to diagnose recurring production problems, determine root causes, and implement verified corrective actions.
• Develop, validate, document, and improve production processes, standard work, workstation layouts, and assembly methods.
• Analyze cycle times, constraints, ergonomics, first-pass quality, safety, downtime, and rework; implement measurable improvements in throughput and cost.
• Collaborate with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, EHS, and Product Engineering to resolve manufacturing constraints and ensure process readiness.
• Specify, evaluate, and support procurement, installation, commissioning, and validation of production tooling and equipment within approved authority.
• Lead assigned manufacturing engineering technicians and project teams by setting daily priorities, delegating technical assignments, providing hands-on coaching and training, monitoring execution, and addressing performance or quality concerns through the Engineering Manager.
• Support lean manufacturing, 5S, structured problem solving, and waste-reduction initiatives.
• Participate in open-book management by tracking relevant engineering metrics (including on-time delivery, first-pass acceptance, diagnostic hours per unit, and configuration accuracy), explaining performance drivers, and connecting improvements to operating and financial results.
• Maintain engineering process records, electrical BOMs, controller software and configuration records, validation results, technical drawings, and change documentation; escalated product-design changes to authorized product engineering personnel.
• Engineer safe, repeatable processes for electrical teardown, component recovery, harness and panel installation, routing, connector assembly, termination, and verification in reconditioned boom lifts.
• Analyze electrical schematics, power distribution, sensors, switches, controllers, control circuits, and machine electrical interfaces to identify manufacturing-related and intermittent faults and corrective actions.
• Develop or improve production test procedures, electrical diagnostic methods, test fixtures, and acceptance criteria; document test results and corrective actions.
• Support troubleshooting of electrical and electrohydraulic interfaces in collaboration with mechanical engineering, maintenance, and quality.
• Specify electrical test equipment and production tooling; evaluate wiring integrity, grounding, circuit protection, and applicable safety controls within approved engineering standards.

Exercises independent professional judgment in manufacturing methods, process engineering, technical analysis, and recommendations within approved company standards. May serve as technical team lead for assigned technicians and cross-functional improvement initiatives, including work planning, task delegation, coaching, and feedback. Formal personnel decisions, including hiring, discipline, termination, and performance ratings, remain with authorized management unless expressly delegated.

• Bachelor's degree (four-year) in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline with substantial electrical systems coursework.
• Three or more years of manufacturing, industrial equipment, or production engineering experience with demonstrated hands-on problem solving.
• Demonstrated ability to independently analyze technical problems, develop engineering solutions, and validate results.
• Ability to interpret…
