Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.


What you will do

We are looking for a hands-on, self-driven Manufacturing Engineer with a strong sense of urgency to support and improve our body-in-white (BIW) manufacturing processes.

In this role, you will work on the shop floor, lead improvement activities, and collaborate closely with operators, technicians, and cross-functional teams. Your focus is to help us build safe, high-quality products in a cost-effective way while driving a culture of continuous improvement and built-in quality. We will teach you the technical details and systems you need; what we need from you is ownership, energy, and a willingness to learn.

Core Responsibilities

• Support and improve BIW manufacturing processes, techniques, equipment, gauging, IT systems, and tooling to reduce defects and improve quality.
• Spend time on the shop floor to confirm that tooling and fixtures perform to expected quality and safety standards; follow up quickly on any issues.
• Learn and apply new technologies and systems to improve our assembly line performance.
• Develop practical, cost-effective engineering solutions that can adapt to product and volume changes.
• Participate in and support project planning, including:
  • Pre-studies and feasibility checks.
  • Volume and capacity assessments.
  • Follow-up on actions, timing, and results with stakeholders.
• Use benchmarking and best practices from inside and outside the organization to improve our processes.
• Listen to and understand the needs of internal and external customers, especially production and quality.
• Clearly communicate ideas, problems, and solutions in both written and verbal form.
• Work collaboratively to solve problems, support root cause analysis, and help prevent and de-escalate conflicts.
• Take initiative to identify risks and potential issues early, and act quickly to minimize their impact.
• Contribute actively to our continuous improvement culture, with a focus on:
  • Waste elimination.
  • Built-in quality and error-proofing.
  • A safe, clean, and organized working environment.

Who are you?

• You are hands-on and enjoy being on the shop floor, close to the product and the people building it.
• You are self-driven , take ownership of your tasks, and follow through without needing constant direction.
• You have a strong sense of urgency and respond quickly when problems arise.
• You are a team player who builds collaborative relationships with colleagues across functions and levels.
• You can make decisions with limited information, influence others when changes are needed, and stay calm under pressure.
• You communicate clearly and respectfully, making it easy for others to work with you and trust you.

Qualifications

• BS degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or a similar field (automotive or BIW experience is a plus, but not required).
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills, including risk identification and mitigation, both individually and in teams.
• Strong time management and prioritization skills.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
