Manufacturing Engineer

Pay Range - $60 - $65/hr

Day-to-Day Responsibilities: 

• Provide hands-on engineering support during the launch and production ramp of a highly automated battery cell assembly line transitioning from commissioning into manufacturing.  

• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues across automated assembly equipment including robotic pick-and-place systems, servo motion systems, automated joining processes, resistance/laser/IR welding, leak testing, and inspection equipment.  

• Independently perform root cause analysis on production and equipment issues, implement corrective actions, and validate improvements to line performance, quality, and first-pass yield.  

• Support production readiness activities by closing out commissioning documentation, validating manufacturing processes, and ensuring the line is prepared for full-rate production.  

• Partner closely with manufacturing technicians, operations, equipment engineers, and process engineers to quickly diagnose issues and minimize production downtime.  

• Analyze manufacturing performance data to identify trends, monitor equipment performance, and recommend improvements to throughput, availability, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). 

• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation including work instructions, engineering procedures, troubleshooting documentation, and production support materials.  

• Read and interpret product drawings, equipment drawings, control schematics, and manufacturing documentation to support issue resolution and continuous improvement initiatives.  

Must-Haves: 

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related engineering discipline.  

• 2+ years of manufacturing engineering experience supporting automated assembly production environments (strong internships/co-op experience may be considered if launch experience is demonstrated).  

• Experience supporting manufacturing line launches, production ramps, equipment commissioning, or new manufacturing introductions.  

• Hands-on troubleshooting experience with automated manufacturing equipment.  

• Experience supporting robotic automation, servo motion systems, or automated assembly equipment. 

• Experience with assembly manufacturing processes such as welding, joining, fastening, leak testing, automated inspection, or similar electromechanical assembly operations.  

• Strong root cause analysis and structured problem-solving skills with the ability to independently drive issue resolution. 

• Experience analyzing manufacturing performance using Excel and engineering data. 

• CAD experience supporting manufacturing equipment or line layouts.  

• Ability to read engineering drawings, equipment drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
