About Our Client

Our client is an innovative and fast-growing industrial equipment manufacturer, recognized for their leadership in sustainability and clean energy. Their achievements have garnered numerous awards and industry recognition. With strong growth projected, they are looking for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to support the expansion of their product offerings and customer reach.

Job Description

  • Own, develop, and maintain documented manufacturing processes, including process sheets, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.
  • Lead the transition from build‑to‑print or shop‑based manufacturing to a production‑focused operation through flow lines, standardized work, appropriate tooling, and repeatable methods.
  • Serve as the manufacturing authority in the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process, reviewing proposed changes for manufacturability, tooling impact, floor readiness, and execution risk.
  • Analyze and improve workflows, equipment layout, space utilization, and material flow to increase throughput, quality, safety, and efficiency.
  • Partner cross‑functionally with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Production to identify constraints, resolve manufacturing issues, and ensure controlled implementation of changes.
  • Drive continuous improvement using data, root cause analysis, and direct observation of manufacturing operations.
  • Support production training and onboarding by ensuring processes are well‑documented, understood, and consistently followed.
  • Ensure manufacturing processes comply with applicable safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
  • Perform risk assessments related to manufacturing processes, tooling, equipment, and process changes prior to implementation.

MPI does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, or based on an individual's status in any group or class protected by applicable federal, state or local law. MPI encourages applications from minorities, women, the disabled, protected veterans and all other qualified applicants.

The Successful Applicant

  • 5-8 years of hands‑on manufacturing engineering experience with ownership of process development, production readiness, and scaling products from early builds through sustained production.
  • Proven experience implementing production methodologies such as:
    • Lean Manufacturing
    • Flow lines and standardized work
    • Theory of Constraints
    • Continuous improvement practices
  • Experience supporting electro‑mechanical products in a production environment.
  • Strong ability to read, interpret, and challenge engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T with a focus on manufacturability and risk.
  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline (equivalent experience considered).
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
  • Excellent documentation, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively across cross‑functional teams and influence without direct authority.
  • Strong organizational and presentation skills.

What's on Offer

  • Base salary $85,000 - $110,000 depending on experience
  • 3 Weeks PTO + company holidays
  • 4% 401k match
  • Comprehensive health coverage through BCBS
