Manufacturing Engineer

Job descriptions may display in multiple languages based on your language selection.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The manufacturing engineer supports manufacturing in the resolution of production issues and provides tools and engineering support to implement new products into production and in the resolution of issues.  Leads process design functions to determine product flow through the manufacturing cell by use of current engineering and continuous improvement techniques.  Establishes resource requirements and material flow using industrial engineering techniques and internal Company standards.  Analyzes various product structures and processes in order to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce manufacturing costs.  Performs Design of Experiment (DOE) analysis to determine optimum operating parameters to achieve the most efficient cell.  Monitors and controls objectives and costs of assigned project and establishes program time lines. Performs other duties as necessary in support of business objectives.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related field. 
• Three (3) years’ experience in engineering or related field.
• Demonstrated basic understanding of Lean Manufacturing and other current techniques related to manufacturing engineering.

• Selects, designs, installs, and modifies equipment and fixtures for new product launches and existing products.
• Supports manufacturing in the resolution of issues by providing ongoing manufacturing engineering support.
• Leads process design functions to determine product flow through the manufacturing cell by use of current engineering and continuous improvement techniques. 
• Establishes resource requirements and material flow using industrial engineering techniques and internal Company standards to establish optimum cell configuration (creation of most efficient manufacturing cell from material inflow, through production, to outflow).
• Analyzes various product structures and processes to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce manufacturing costs. 
• Performs DOE analysis to determine optimum operating parameters by manipulating variables and analyzing how they interact to achieve the most efficient cell measured in terms of processing time, quality and cost.
• Monitors and controls objectives and costs of assigned project and establishes program timelines.
