Sr. Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Engineer

We need manufacturing engineers that have designed and built assembly lines. Line design, equipment design, line launch, deploy to operations. Project management skills are helpful but the most important skill is being able to be a solid manufacturing engineer. Able to work with a product, develop a Process Flow Diagram, line concepts, write their scope of work, order their equipment, install and launch it.

• Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering, or related field.

• 7+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, production launch, process development, industrialization, or manufacturing operations support.

• Experience in large-scale manufacturing environments such as automotive, battery, energy, heavy equipment, aerospace, industrial equipment, or high-volume discrete manufacturing.

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, production systems, tooling, fixtures, workstations, process documentation, and shop-floor execution.

• Experience working with cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, quality, supply chain, equipment, controls, facilities, and EHS.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting greenfield manufacturing facility development, large-scale plant launch, or major capacity expansion programs.

• Hands-on experience with production line launch, equipment installation, commissioning, run-at-rate, ramp-up stabilization, and operational handover.

• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, fabrication, welding, sheet metal, assembly, testing, surface treatment, painting/coating, and finishing.

• Good understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerance stack-up, BOM structure, material specifications, and manufacturing feasibility assessment.

• Experience with PFMEA, control plans, APQP, PPAP, SPC, MSA, CAPA, 8D, process validation, production trials, process audits, and readiness reviews.

• Strong knowledge of OEE, cycle time, takt time, line balancing, bottleneck analysis, yield improvement, scrap reduction, cost reduction, and throughput improvement.

• Experience with PFEP, material flow, line-side delivery, packaging, sequencing, warehouse interfaces, and internal logistics.

• Familiarity with MES, SCADA, Andon, OEE dashboards, traceability, ERP, PLM, SAP, Teamcenter, and manufacturing documentation control.

• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, root-cause analysis, 5 Why, Fishbone, Pareto, 5S, standardized work, visual management, and structured problem-solving.
