Manufacturing Engineer

Title: Manufacturing Engineer
Location: Gilbert, Arizona 85233
Duration: 6 months
A shift: 6am to 3:30pm


JOB DESCRIPTION
Contractor will be on a 9/80 schedule.


GENERAL FUNCTION:

• Performs routine manufacturing engineering work requiring the application of standard engineering techniques and procedures.
• Working as part of a Manufacturing Engineering Group, the primary area of responsibility is supporting developing and mature production programs in the fabrication shop.

• This position reports to a manufacturing engineering group leader along with Manufacturing Engineering Technicians, Senior Manufacturing Engineering Technicians, Manufacturing Engineer/Programmers, Associate Manufacturing Engineers and Senior Manufacturing Engineers.
• Applying learned engineering techniques, the incumbent independently evaluates, selects and applies standard manufacturing engineering techniques, procedures, and criteria.
• He/She uses judgment in developing, adapting and modifying manufacturing engineering procedures.
• In pre-production and production phases of a program, the Mfg. Engineer will determine manufacturing procedures, establish operation sequencing, prepare tooling and gauging lists, prepare and proveout N/C programs and write detailed operation sheets to produce complex machined parts and sub-assemblies to meet engineering drawings.
• He/She will also prepare engineered or estimated time standards for setup and run hours for each operation.
• The incumbent provides technical support to the production shops solving problems and improving processes associated with the parts he/she is responsible for.
• These problems may arise for any number of reasons such as tooling, machine tool, gauging, heat treating, and plating.
• The solution of these problems may require the Manufacturing Engineer's decision alone, or could result in contacting and working with other members of the Manufacturing Engineering Department, Product or Design Engineers, Quality Assurance personnel, M & P Engineers, Inspectors, Production supervision, Purchasing, Production Scheduling, or vendors.
• As a result, the Manufacturing Engineer must not only possess the human relations skills necessary to work effectively with a variety of people, but must also have the initiative to contact and coordinate with other groups when a problem solution so requires.
• The incumbent will be required to use computer systems in preparing operation sheets, N/C programs and standards.
• Additionally, the incumbent will work with various engineering groups in an ongoing effort to apply concurrent engineering principles.
• For training and development purposes, assignments may include some work that is typical of a higher level.
