Manufacturing Engineer

What to Expect

• In addition to developing manufacturing equipment and processes, Manufacturing Engineers work with cross-functional teams throughout the entire product lifecycle. This role requires a hands-on Engineer to work closely with Design Engineering, Quality, Production, Maintenance and External Vendors to take vehicle design changes and new vehicle designs from initial concept through prototype development and into full production.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate closely with Design Engineering to drive Design for Manufacturability in future programs early in the design phase.
• Develop process designs that form the basis of high-volume production lines to support industry-leading dimensional quality of the vehicles produced.
• Take direct responsibility for achieving dimensional quality targets and lead all activities towards this objective including the development of GD&T strategies, quality control plans and dimensional improvement plans.
• Drive tooling design and development in accordance with the process plan and GD&T strategy, working closely with partner vendors to buy-off and deliver the final product.
• Participate in the development and review of early project planning documents such as project timelines, Requests for Quotations, FMEA’s and Safety Risk Assessments.
• Lead the development and introduction of processes and equipment associated with early prototype builds and highlighting key process and equipment improvement opportunities throughout the prototype builds themselves.
• Arrange and participate in line design reviews of robot and tooling simulations, cycle time plans, and general line layout, driving optimization towards fundamental engineering limits.

What You’ll Bring

• B.S. in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering; or equivalent experience and evidence of exceptional ability.
• minimum 3 years’ experience designing and building high-volume welding lines
• Able to function independently, be a strong collaborator, detail oriented, organized, hands-on and able to make strong decisions.
• Work well under pressure while managing competing demands and tight deadlines.
• Remain engaged, initiative-taking and positive in tough circumstances, owning assignments and taking full accountability for their success.
• Maintain flexibility and adaptability to changing priorities and assignments, coping with rapidly changing information.
• Be results and data driven, and able to effect change based on data.
• Have working knowledge of Design for Manufacturability.
• Strong familiarity with structured problems solving methodologies (DMAIC, 8D, etc.).
• 3D CAD experience in reviewing and modifying 3D models of tooling and product.
• Experience creating various reports and database tools for presentation to Executive Leaders within the organization.
• Experience with PLC programming, troubleshooting, and configuration is preferable.
• Experience with robot programming, backup and restoration is preferable.
• Hands-on experience with modifying jigs, fixtures, and coordinating equipment installations.
• Good understanding of BOMs, manufacturability, process design, process validation, assembly methods, design reviews and cost reduction methodologies.
• Experienced with AUTOCAD, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and other similar software/tools.
• Experience with PLC programming, troubleshooting, and configuration is preferable.
• Experience with robot programming, backup and restoration is preferable.
