Associate Manufacturing Engineer

As an Associate Manufacturing Engineer you will learn to design an industrialized solution from the Design Engineering definition and to develop a production solution which maximizes production efficiency. In this role, you will also learn to create manufacturing work instructions; assist with design improvements and problem solving for manufacturing issues with production methods and procedures. Youll then apply this logic in a variety of areas.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES (ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS):

• Learn to interpret manufacturing/assembly drawings and process specifications to create accurate technician level work instruction.
• Learn to optimize order of operations and assembly sequence to maximize build efficiency and to reduce the probability of technician error.
• Learn to develop and maintain routings and Manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM) to ensure all parts defined by Engineering are installed during the assembly/installation process.
• Learn to create detailed industrialization packages that optimize manufacturing process and opportunity for zero defects.
• Assist in creating time standards to the shop floor as well as standard work for operations and processes.
• Learn to create rework instructions to support effective corrective actions.Interact with engineering, subject matter experts, and shop floor personnel to ensure that work instructions are accurate and comprehensible.
• Learn to incorporate Lean Manufacturing Methodology into existing and future processes.
• Learn to utilize analytical skills for capacity analysis, tool and equipment utilization as well as line balancing.
• Learn to perform trend analysis of shop performance measures to identify opportunities for improvements.
• Learn to review production schedules, engineering specifications, process flows, and other information to understand methods and activities in manufacturing and services.
• Learn to optimize the process for both detail and assembly level manufactured parts and products, or deliver supporting services, with maximum efficiency.
• Learn to perform technical studies and conduct analysis of operations (existing and proposed).
• Ensure deliverable quality standards are met.

MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering or related field. Completed, relevant education from an accredited college or university may be substituted for years of relevant work experience. 1 year of education = 2 years of experience.
• Experience with CATIA, AutoCAD, Solidworks, or equivalent Product Design Solution.
• Basic knowledge of Lean and/or Six Sigma principles.
• Strong willingness to solve problems that have a variety of complex features such as conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional processes, and difficult coordination requirements.
• Exposure converting engineering instructions and information into content intended for a variety of audiences and ability levels.
• Proven ability to read technical drawings and schematics with strong analytical and mathematical abilities.
