Area of Accountability:

A manufacturing engineering position is open for an individual to be responsible for designing and developing tools, fixtures, and processes to support existing products and new product development initiatives. These will include but are not limited to: weld fixtures, assembly fixtures, robotic weld cells, and robotic material handling cells. This engineer must champion the design, build, installation, and long-term technical assistance of these manufacturing cells. This employee will need to streamline current manufacturing processes while working alongside new product development in order to manufacture next generation products. The engineer will be asked to utilize 2D and 3D CAD technologies to maintain and adjust manufacturing cell designs and plant layouts to maximize production efficiency. 

This manufacturing engineer must be able to develop and implement capital or expense projects. This will include researching new and established manufacturing technologies, planning the capital and time needed to implement the technology, and writing proposals to be reviewed. Upon project approval, this engineer will be responsible for procuring the necessary equipment and installing it in the manufacturing plant while meeting cost and time targets.

This engineer will also be asked to participate in product and process design reviews.  The position is responsible for helping to improve the quality of the product while lowering the cost to produce it. Communication and interpersonal skills are important. This engineer must develop working relationships with plant level employees as well as divisional employees in cross functional teams. These teams will need to solve chronic design or manufacturing problems.

Major Responsibilities:

1. Develop and implement capital or expense projects to achieve stated objectives while meeting cost and time targets. 
2. Implement methods, process or layout changes to reduce overall costs, improve quality and expand manufacturing capabilities.
3. Participate in product design reviews in an effort to reduce the time frame from concept to job one. 
4. Concept and/or design weld fixtures, assembly fixtures, and other tooling concurrent with product design.
5. Provide technical assistance to the manufacturing and maintenance functions to solve chronic or complex problems.
