Manufacturing Engineer

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to support and grow our expanding custom wire harness operation. This is a high-impact role focused on driving production performance, maintaining equipment reliability, and improving manufacturing processes across the facility.

This is not a desk-only position — the ideal candidate enjoys being on the production floor, working directly with equipment and operators, and solving real-time manufacturing challenges.

What You’ll Do

• Provide daily engineering support for wire harness manufacturing operations
• Analyze and improve production methods to increase efficiency, throughput, and consistency
• Develop and maintain process documentation, work instructions, and standards
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues impacting quality, flow, and productivity
• Perform and support preventative maintenance to ensure equipment uptime
• Diagnose and repair machinery used in wire cutting, crimping, terminating, and testing
• Partner with operations and quality teams to implement corrective actions and process improvements
• Support new product introductions, validation efforts, and PPAP requirements
• Assist with machine setup, changeovers, and equipment adjustments
• Maintain and verify testing systems and related equipment
• Train and support operators on process changes and equipment usage
• Drive initiatives focused on waste reduction, uptime improvement, and product quality

What You Bring

• Experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably within wire harness or cable assembly
• Strong understanding of wire harness components, processes, and industry standards
• Proven mechanical troubleshooting skills with hands-on equipment experience
• Background in machine maintenance and preventative maintenance programs
• Ability to diagnose equipment failures and implement effective solutions quickly
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-driven environment
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills
• Proficiency with standard computer applications

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a growing operation where your impact is immediate and visible
• Work in a collaborative, team-driven environment
• Opportunity to take ownership of process improvements and equipment reliability
• Strong exposure to both engineering and operations leadership
