SPX is a diverse team of unique individuals who all make an impact. We are opening a new campus facility that will have two of our businesses (Marley and Ingenia Technologies) evolving and growing together at SPX's very first campus.

This is a hands-on manufacturing engineering role for someone who enjoys being on the production floor, working directly with operators and technicians, solving problems in real time, and implementing practical process improvements. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will work closely with production, quality, maintenance, and leadership teams to improve manufacturing performance, support production needs, and develop scalable processes. Success in this role requires a strong presence on the manufacturing floor, collaboration with hourly teams, and a willingness to understand processes firsthand.

  • Conduct time studies, line balancing activities, and Lean assessments to improve flow and establish production standards
  • Lead problem-solving efforts with production teams to eliminate waste, improve ergonomics, reduce cycle time, and optimize processes
  • Support cost analysis activities and identify opportunities for productivity and efficiency improvements

2. Manufacturing Engineering & Technical Problem Solving
  • Support development and implementation of manufacturing processes, equipment, assembly methods, and production systems
  • Partner with operators and technicians to understand process constraints and develop practical solutions that improve safety, quality, and efficiency
  • Investigate process issues and provide hands-on technical support to production teams
  • Evaluate existing manufacturing processes and recommend improvements to increase efficiency and reduce cost
  • Assist with workstation design, assembly cell development, manufacturing layouts, and material flow improvements
  • Support implementation of engineering changes and assess impacts to manufacturing operations
  • Promote and maintain safe work practices throughout manufacturing operations

3. Project Support & Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Support manufacturing improvement projects from concept through implementation
  • Work closely with production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, operators, and technicians to execute process improvements
  • Participate in Kaizen activities and Lean initiatives focused on throughput, quality, safety, and operational performance
  • Support startup activities including equipment installation, line launches, process validation, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Monitor implemented changes and verify effectiveness through floor observations and performance data
  • Stay current on manufacturing technologies and proactively recommend improvements
