About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to support the production of complex, custom-engineered electrical equipment. This role focuses on developing and improving manufacturing processes for engineered-to-order products, working closely with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure designs can be efficiently and reliably built.

The ideal candidate has experience in electrical equipment manufacturing and understands how to translate engineering designs into practical production processes. This is a hands-on engineering opportunity for someone who enjoys solving manufacturing challenges, improving workflows, and taking ownership of projects from initial planning through final assembly.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing Engineering & Process Development

• Develop manufacturing plans, production workflows, assembly methods, and process requirements for custom-engineered electrical equipment.

• Partner with Engineering to review designs and provide input on design for manufacturability (DFM), production efficiency, and cost reduction.

• Evaluate existing manufacturing processes and identify opportunities to improve productivity, quality, and production timelines.

• Establish efficient work methods, workstation layouts, tooling requirements, and equipment needs.

• Support the transition of new and modified designs into production.

Process Improvement & Quality

• Identify and implement process improvements to reduce waste, minimize production delays, and improve manufacturing efficiency.

• Develop and maintain manufacturing procedures, work instructions, standard operating procedures, and assembly documentation.

• Partner with Quality to establish inspection procedures, testing requirements, and consistent production standards.

• Investigate manufacturing issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives across fabrication, assembly, and testing operations.

Engineering & Production Support

• Work directly with production teams to resolve manufacturing challenges and improve assembly processes.

• Review engineering drawings, specifications, and bills of material to identify potential production issues.

• Collaborate with Procurement and Supply Chain on material requirements, component availability, and alternative sourcing options.

• Evaluate tooling, equipment, and manufacturing resources needed to support production requirements.

• Train and support production personnel on new processes, equipment, and updated work instructions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Coordinate with Engineering, Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Project Management to support manufacturing goals.

• Work with suppliers and vendors to address material, component, and production-related concerns.

• Support manufacturing projects from initial planning through implementation.

• Monitor process performance and recommend improvements to support delivery schedules, cost targets, and product quality.

Qualifications

Experience & Education

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

• Experience in manufacturing engineering within an electrical equipment, industrial equipment, or engineered-to-order manufacturing environment.

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes involving complex electrical equipment, assemblies, and integrated systems.

• Experience developing manufacturing workflows, assembly procedures, and production documentation.

• Ability to review and interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and bills of material.

Technical Skills

• Knowledge of electrical systems, power distribution equipment, and manufacturing requirements.

• Experience with CAD software for reviewing engineering designs and supporting manufacturing improvements.

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, production planning, tooling, and equipment requirements.

• Ability to identify process inefficiencies, troubleshoot production issues, and implement practical solutions.

• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering and production teams.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with engineered-to-order (ETO) manufacturing or custom-built industrial equipment.

• Background supporting the manufacturing of electrical distribution equipment, power systems, or complex electrical assemblies.

• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methodologies.

• Experience with production testing, quality control, and manufacturing process validation.

Work Environment

This is a primarily on-site engineering role working closely with manufacturing and production teams. Occasional time in the production environment will be necessary to evaluate processes, troubleshoot issues, and support implementation of manufacturing improvements.
