Job Description About The Role The Sr. Manufacturing Engineer for Chassis Fabrication is the technical authority on structural steel fabrication processes — cutting, drilling, coping, fit-up, welding, and surface treatment. You own the process from raw steel to completed structural frame: setting the standards, solving the hard problems, and ensuring the fabrication line sustains the throughput we need. This role leads the fabrication-focused manufacturing engineering staff and reports to the Director of Manufacturing. Responsibilities Process Ownership

• Own all fabrication process standards: cutting, drilling, coping, fit-up, tack welding, weld sequencing, distortion control, and post-weld treatment.
• Design and document fabrication work instructions to

AWS D1.1

Structural Welding Code requirements.

• Establish and maintain the welding procedure specification library; ensure all production welders are qualified per

AWS D1.1.

• Define and control fit-up tolerances for corner casting placement — dimensional accuracy here is non-negotiable.
• Own the fabrication quality plan: in-process inspection points, dimensional verification, and weld inspection criteria. Line Performance
• Own fabrication takt time analysis: measure actual cycle times, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement.
• Lead root-cause analysis on fabrication defects, dimensional nonconformances, and weld rejections.
• Evaluate new fabrication equipment and processes; develop capital justification for investments that improve throughput or reduce defects.
• Support robotic weld cell integration: weld path programming strategy, fixturing requirements, and quality verification. Standards
• Maintain the

AWS D1.1

structural welding program: WPS/PQR library, welder qualification records, and inspection records.

• Own the material traceability program: mill cert verification, heat/lot tracking, and floor identification.
