The Manufacturing Engineer at Quality Steel Corporation supports engineering and automation work across the company’s four sites. This role is part of the machine‑build group responsible for designing and building manufacturing equipment for internal use. The engineer supports the full build cycle of manufacturing equipment, including design, fabrication support, assembly, construction, testing, commissioning, and ongoing support, working cross‑discipline and spending time in the machine build shop and on plant floors during evaluation, planning, and commissioning.

• Support mechanical design and improvement projects for manufacturing equipment, tooling, fixtures, and plant systems.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation (drawings, work instructions, build notes, BOMs, spare parts lists).
• Assist with equipment build, testing, and commissioning activities; participate in runoffs and troubleshooting.
• Collect and analyze data related to downtime, scrap, throughput, and process capability; help implement corrective actions.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives (layout improvements, error‑proofing, standard work, cycle time reduction).
• Assist controls engineers with basic tasks such as panel assembly, I/O checks, sensor selection, device documentation, panel labeling, and simple HMI/PLC changes.
• Coordinate with maintenance, operations, and quality teams to prioritize issues and close the loop on fixes.
• Work with vendors on components, quotes, and technical details for engineering projects.
• Participate directly in fabrication support, assembly, and build activities in the machine build shop as needed.

• 2-5 years of experience in manufacturing preferred; other relevant experience considered.
• Willingness to work in a hands‑on environment and spend regular time in the machine build shop and on plant floors during commissioning.
• Comfort learning new tools quickly; able to follow structured troubleshooting and documentation practices.
• Basic CAD familiarity (Solid Works/Inventor/Fusion 360 or similar).
• Basic electrical/controls familiarity (sensors, wiring concepts, ladder logic exposure) preferred.
• Experience with welding, powder coating, steel quality, or similar processes preferred.

• Practical problem‑solving with attention to detail and safety.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work with operators, maintenance, and engineers.
• Organized documentation practices to ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency.
• Asks questions early rather than making assumptions.

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering or engineering‑adjacent field (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Industrial, Controls, etc.) required.

• Periodic travel to QSC sites, vendors, or training events may be required.
