The Manufacturing Engineering Technician (MET) acts as the bridge between the Manufacturing engineers who design a process and the production floor where the product is actually made. While the engineers focus on high-level concept and capital, technicians are the hands‑on specialists who ensure the processes work, and the final products meet quality standards.

• Troubleshooting & Repair:
  When a machine on the assembly line fails or starts producing defective parts, the technician is the first responder. They diagnose mechanical, electrical, or software issues (such as PLC programming errors).
• Process Optimization:
  Look for "bottlenecks" in production. If a certain step is taking too long or creating too much waste, collect and analyze data alongside the engineers to enable a redesign of the workstation layout or suggest a different tool to speed things up.
• Quality Control:
  Conduct tests and measurements on finished goods to ensure they match the original engineering blueprints.
• Utilize LEAN tools to compile data such as time studies, work instructions, etc.
• Project Management:
  Manage small capital spend projects under the direction of manufacturing engineers to enable facility and process improvements.
• Safety:
  Champion a safety first mindset and lead by example.

• High school diploma or GED.
• 3+ years of experience working within a manufacturing environment.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, with a strong emphasis on Excel and PowerPoint.
• Understanding of process improvement techniques and lean manufacturing principles.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills.
