Job Description
About the RoleWe are seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to join a high-mix, low-volume machine shop supporting a wide variety of complex and custom projects. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys mechanical problem-solving, working with their hands, creating and interpreting technical drawings, interacting with customers, and taking ownership of projects from concept through production.
This is the only engineering position within the organization, so the successful candidate must be comfortable working independently, taking initiative, and balancing engineering and hands-on shop-floor responsibilities.
Key ResponsibilitiesReverse engineer worn, damaged, or broken machine parts by evaluating their condition, determining original dimensions, and understanding the intended design and function.
Engineer novel and custom mechanical parts and solutions based on customer requirements.
Interface directly with customers to understand equipment, applications, problems, and desired solutions.
Create accurate GD&T technical drawings for machinists to manufacture parts.
Interpret existing technical drawings and translate engineering requirements into practical manufacturing solutions.
Prepare job cost estimates for management review, including material, labor, machining, and outside-process considerations.
Assist with purchasing materials and coordinating outside services required to complete projects.
Advise on efficient, practical, and cost-effective manufacturing processes.
Troubleshoot machinery, production issues, mechanical problems, and other manufacturing challenges.
Learn, document, and improve internal manufacturing methods and processes.
Assist in developing training materials and programs for manufacturing personnel.
Work closely with machinists and production personnel to ensure designs can be manufactured accurately and efficiently.
Take ownership of projects and follow them through from initial customer need to completed part or solution.
QualificationsMinimum 5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment.
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
Experience creating and interpreting GD&T technical drawings.
Basic understanding of machining processes and manufacturing methods.
Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to diagnose and understand mechanical equipment and components.
Ability to evaluate a damaged or broken component and determine its likely original dimensions, geometry, and design intent.
Comfortable working directly with machinery, tools, machinists, and production personnel.
Preferred TraitsStrong hands-on mechanical ability and problem-solving skills.
Comfortable moving between hands-on shop-floor work and desk-based engineering, design, drafting, and documentation.
Strong sense of ownership and accountability.
Self-motivated and able to work independently without close supervision.
Curious and willing to learn how customer equipment works and understand the underlying problem before developing a solution.
Practical mindset with the ability to balance engineering requirements, manufacturability, cost, and customer needs.
Welcoming and approachable personality with strong customer-service skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Humble, collaborative, and willing to work closely with others in a small-team environment.
