MANUFACTURING ENGINEER

PRAB, Inc. - 3.8 Garland, TX Job Details Full-time 5 hours ago Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance 401(k) Paid time off Vision insurance Life insurance Qualifications Mechanical blueprint interpretation Mechanical fabrication ERP systems Mechanical drawings Bachelor's degree Welding Full Job Description Job description: This is not a desk engineering role. This is where engineering meets reality. At Triple/S Dynamics, this role owns the gap between design and production, ensuring that what gets engineered can actually be built efficiently, correctly, and repeatedly. You will be on the floor, working with fabricators, assemblers, and vendors to eliminate problems, improve processes, and drive manufacturability into every job. This role replaces a long-tenured problem solver who knew how to make things work. This role will build that capability into a repeatable, high-performance system. If you are the type of engineer who sees a bad process and fixes it immediately, you will thrive here. What You'll Own Ensuring engineering designs are fully manufacturable before release Acting as the technical bridge between engineering and the shop floor Working with vendors to solve fabrication and assembly issues in real time, not documenting them later Driving reduction in rework, delays, and production inefficiencies Creating and maintaining clear, usable shop documentation Improving workflows across assembly, paint, and test Developing tooling, fixtures, and methods that make production easier and faster Leading root cause analysis and ensuring issues do not repeat Supporting production teams with practical, hands-on problem solving Driving continuous improvement across manufacturing operations What Success Looks Like Drawings released to the floor are buildable without confusion or rework Production issues are resolved same-day whenever possible Measurable reduction in rework, delays, and fabrication errors Shop teams trust engineering because solutions are practical and usable Processes improve over time, not reset with each job Tooling and workflows increase throughput and reduce frustration Problems are permanently solved, not repeatedly revisited Must-Haves Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering 3+ years in manufacturing or production engineering Strong understanding of fabrication processes (welding, machining, forming, assembly) Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and weld symbols Hands-on problem-solving mindset in a production environment Strong Differentiators Experience in heavy equipment or capital equipment manufacturing Experience working directly with shop floor teams Conveyor or bulk material handling equipment familiarity Experience improving manufacturability, not just supporting it ERP/MRP and production documentation experience Culture & Environment Low bureaucracy, high ownership You will not be micromanaged, but you will be expected to deliver Problems are yours to solve, not escalate indefinitely Clarity is not always given, you must create it This is not a fit for someone who prefers theoretical engineering over practical execution, avoids direct interaction with production teams, or needs perfect information before acting
