Manufacturing Engineer

JOB SUMMARY:

As a Manufacturing Engineer you will be designing an industrialized solution from the Design Engineering definition and developing a production solution which maximizes production efficiency. In this role you will create manufacturing work instructions; assist with design improvements and problem solving for manufacturing issues (production methods and procedures). You will also apply this logic in a variety of areas such as layout, production flow, tooling and production equipment, material fabrication, assembly methods and planning.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES (ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS):

• Interpret manufacturing/assembly drawings and process specifications to create accurate technician level work instructions.
• Optimize order of operations and assembly sequence to maximize build efficiency and to reduce the probability of technician error.
• Develop and maintain routings and Manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM) to ensure all parts defined by Engineering are installed during the assembly/installation process.
• Author detail industrialization packages that optimize manufacturing process and opportunity for zero defects.
• Develop and provide time standards to the production floor and standard work for operations and processes.
• Create rework instructions to support effective corrective actions.
• Collaborate with engineering to improve manufacturability of product design, during the appropriate design phase, resulting from established methods and performance analysis.
• Incorporate Lean Manufacturing Methodology into existing and future processes.
• Utilizes analytical skills for capacity analysis, tool and equipment utilization as well as line balancing.
• Perform trend analysis of shop performance measures to identify opportunities for improvements.
• Review production schedules, engineering specifications, process flows, and other information to understand methods and activities in manufacturing and services.
• Optimize the process for both detail and assembly level manufactured parts and products, or deliver supporting services, with maximum efficiency.
• Perform technical studies and conduct analysis of operations (existing and proposed).

MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor degree in Mechanical, Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering or related discipline or 8 years of relevant work experience that can be substituted for the degree requirement.
• 3 years experience in a manufacturing environment as a Process Planner, Industrial Engineer, Production Engineer, or Design Engineer.
• Work 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.
