Position Summary:
The Manufacturing Engineer plays a critical role in optimizing production processes, improving manufacturing efficiency, and ensuring product quality within a manufacturing facility.
This position involves analyzing production workflows, implementing process improvements, and providing technical support to production teams to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and achieve operational excellence.

Responsibilities:
Develop and optimize manufacturing processes, procedures, and workflows to improve productivity, reduce cycle times, and enhance product quality, utilizing lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Design and implement new manufacturing systems, equipment, and tools, including automation and robotics solutions, to streamline production operations, increase throughput, and reduce labor costs, while ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
Conduct time and motion studies, process simulations, and capacity analyses to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement in production lines, workstations, and assembly processes, and propose solutions to address identified issues.
Collaborate with crossfunctional teams, including production, engineering, quality assurance, and supply chain, to support new product introductions (NPI), prototype development, and manufacturing scaleups, and ensure smooth transition from design to production.
Provide technical support and troubleshooting assistance to production teams, maintenance technicians, and operators to resolve equipment malfunctions, process deviations, and quality issues, and implement corrective actions and preventive measures to prevent recurrence.
Conduct root cause analyses (RCAs) and failure mode and effects analyses (FMEAs) to investigate production failures, nonconformances, and defects, and develop and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) to improve process reliability and product quality.
Design and develop manufacturing work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and training materials for production personnel, and provide training and coaching to operators and technicians on new processes, equipment, and technologies.
Monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs), production metrics, and quality metrics to track performance trends, identify opportunities for improvement, and drive continuous improvement initiatives to achieve operational targets and objectives.

Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a related field; master's degree or professional certification in lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or project management is a plus. Experience in manufacturing engineering, process engineering, or production management, preferably in a highvolume manufacturing environment, with handson experience in process optimization, automation, and continuous improvement.
Proficiency in manufacturing software tools, computeraided design (CAD) software, and simulation tools, and familiarity with manufacturing processes, machining techniques, assembly methods, and materials science.
Strong analytical skills, problemsolving abilities, and attention to detail, with the ability to analyze complex production systems, identify improvement opportunities, and develop innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and quality.
Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in crossfunctional teams, build positive working relationships, and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
