Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing EngineerPosition Overview We are seeking a results-driven Manufacturing Engineer to optimize production processes, improve product quality, and reduce manufacturing costs. The ideal candidate will design, develop, and implement efficient manufacturing systems for precision-machined components, with a strong focus on turning processes, CNC programming, and turn-mill operations. This role partners with production, quality, design engineering, and supply chain to scale robust, repeatable processes that meet safety, schedule, and cost targets.

Key ResponsibilitiesDevelop, document, and optimize manufacturing processes for turning, CNC milling, and turn-mill operations to ensure repeatable quality and throughputCreate and validate CNC programs, tooling strategies, and setup sheets to support production runs and new part introductionsPerform process capability studies, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, Kaizen, 5S) to reduce scrap, rework, and cycle timeWork with design engineering to ensure manufacturability, provide DFM feedback, and implement design changes to improve producibilitySpecify and qualify tooling, fixtures, gauges, and measurement methods; collaborate with suppliers to source critical tooling and equipmentDevelop and maintain work instructions, standard operating procedures, and training materials for machine operators and production techniciansLead troubleshooting on the shop floor to resolve process issues, machine performance problems, and quality nonconformancesSupport new product introductions by planning pilot runs, capacity analysis, and process validation to meet schedule and quality targetsCollect and analyze production data to drive decisions, create reports, and present findings to stakeholdersEnsure compliance with safety, environmental, and quality system requirements (ISO/AS9100 or equivalent)QualificationsBachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience3+ years of hands-on manufacturing engineering experience in precision machining environments, preferably with turning and turn-mill processesProficiency in CNC programming, CAM software (e.g., Mastercam, Fusion 360, GibbsCAM, or similar), and G-code fundamentalsStrong practical experience with lathe operations, turning process optimization, live tooling, and multi-axis turn-mill machinesSolid understanding of GD&T, inspection methods, metrology tools (CMM, micrometers, calipers), and process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk)Proven experience with continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen); Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent is a plusExcellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills; ability to lead cross-functional teams and train production staffFamiliarity with ERP/MRP systems and experience generating routings, work orders, and BOMsAbility to work in a fast-paced production environment, manage multiple priorities, and travel to supplier or plant sites as neededBenefitsFull benefits package!
