Position Summary

We're hiring an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to independently design tooling and fixtures and own process improvements across welding, powder coating, assembly and integration, and shipping prep operations. This role is responsible for designing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes to ensure safety, quality, and efficiency in the production system. This role also tracks equipment and process KPIs, drives new process design for product launches, and supports capital expenditure (CapEx) projects from scope through execution. This is a low-supervision role — you'll be trusted to run projects end-to-end, make judgment calls on the floor, and bring solutions rather than escalating problems. Candidates should have a minimum of 3 years of direct experience in industrial, manufacturing, or mechanical engineering, hands-on experience in fabrication environments, and a passion for continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build and modify tooling, fixtures, and equipment for steel operations to comply with contract specs and tolerances.
  • Analyze and improve workflow processes in but not limited to fabrication processes, powder coating, assembly, and Mechanical/Electrical System integration.
  • Design new process flow to support new product launch and production line start up.
  • Develop and maintain process documentation: SOPs, work instructions, control plans, and PFMEAs.
  • Lead root cause analysis (RCA/8D) and corrective actions for process-related issues.
  • Collaborate with design, production, and quality teams to support new product introductions.
  • Review technical drawings for conformance with design intent and fabrication standards.
  • Plan and develop Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies to reduce waste and improve throughput.
  • Monitor and report on process KPIs such as first pass yield, cycle time, and scrap rate.
  • Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001, AWS D1.1).
  • Support automation and digital transformation initiatives within the plant.
  • Manage assigned projects, both small and capital expenditures to complete on schedule, within budget and meeting all required guidelines.
  • Provide technical support to production for complex mechanical, electrical and controls issues.
  • Optimize consumables workflows and workstation layouts to hit production deliverables and goals.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing/industrial/mechanical engineering, specifically in building and optimizing production lines.
  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or manufacturing engineering.
  • Demonstrated track record designing tooling and fixtures and implementing manufacturing processes.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., Autodesk Inventor, Revit).
  • Strong analytical skills, problem solving, and experience with statistical process control (SPC).
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Strong understanding of Lean Manufacturing principles (5S, Kaizen, value stream mapping).

Preferred Skills

  • Six Sigma Green Belt or higher certification.
  • Familiarity with automation, robotics, and CNC machinery.
  • Familiarity with Industry 4.0 technologies and data analytics.
  • Experience in modular construction.
  • Experience in a steel fabrication or heavy manufacturing environment.
