Job Overview

The Manufacturing Engineer II develops and improves manufacturing methods, equipment, tooling, and processes to enhance safety, quality, delivery, cost, and operational efficiency. This role serves as a technical partner to Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations, supporting both new product introduction and ongoing production.

The ideal candidate will have a strong electromechanical manufacturing background with hands-on experience supporting production equipment, tooling, and process improvement initiatives. They should be able to read and interpret technical drawings and blueprints, troubleshoot manufacturing issues, and drive Lean/Continuous Improvement efforts. Experience with CNC programming, automated or semi-automated manufacturing equipment, and NPI, product validation, prototype development, or product requalification activities is highly desirable.

Candidates from industries such as electronic components, relays, motors, machining, machine shops, aerospace, defense, or similar electromechanical manufacturing environments are encouraged to apply. Experience with SolidWorks and/or Creo is preferred, and a Six Sigma Green Belt is a plus. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills are essential for success in this role.

• Build and test prototypes and standard products, analyze results, and prepare technical reports.
• Organize and categorize existing parts and maintain accurate engineering documentation and prints.

Electronics, Controls & Validation

• Coordinate feasibility studies and prototype assemblies, and required quality documentation such as worst-case and thermal analyses, test specifications, and integration documentation.
• Plan and execute functional, analyze failed parts, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Develop functional-safety concepts and define manufacturing requirements for process steps such as end-of-line teaching and calibration.

Quality, Compliance & Continuous Improvement

• Partner with Engineering and Quality to resolve production-processing issues and prevent recurrence.
• Initiate and implement continuous-improvement actions that improve quality, cost, cycle time, and process capability.
• Ensure tooling and processes meet applicable TE standards, customer specifications, regulatory requirements, and safety expectations.
• Review plant safety committee recommendations and initiate appropriate actions.
• Support Supply Chain in evaluating supplier compliance and manufacturing capability.

Project & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead technical peer reviews and ensure designs and processes comply with established guidelines; contribute to guideline updates when needed.
• Communicate project status, risks, performance, cost, customer requirements, and deliverable dates to relevant stakeholders.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical and execution risks on assigned projects.
• Coordinate information across Engineering, Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Purchasing, suppliers, and subject-matter experts.
• Support special projects and perform other related duties as assigned.
