For more than a century, we’ve enabled engineering breakthroughs that make energy cleaner, transportation safer, medical treatments more effective, and manufacturing more efficient.The Manufacturing Engineer helps drive productivity, reduce waste, improve cycle time, and maintain compliance with safety and quality standards.Essential FunctionsDetermines processes for sequences of manufacturing operations on new & existing products in accordance with manufacturing requirementsEnsure that current equipment, tooling, and processes meet customer quality requirements and are ergonomically sound for manufacturingResponsible for designing tooling and implementing assignments affecting manufacturing equipment and processes to achieve desired production goals and quality standardsDevelops innovative solutions to complex engineering and manufacturing production problems through identification and implementation of advanced manufacturing processes including conducting process analysis, applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly, tooling, and materials, conferring with suppliers, and soliciting observations from the operators/production techniciansRefines and enhances processes by applying continuous improvement and key Lean manufacturing / production principles and techniques to areas of production.Recommend product changes / improvements to Product EngineersImproves manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning workflow, space requirements, and equipment layout. Coordinates input that may cross multiple teams or areas; makes recommendations and implements changes.Assures product and process quality by designing testing methods, testing finished product and process capabilities, and establishing standards to confirm and validate manufacturing process requirements. Determines root cause of failure using statistical methods (e.g., design of experiment, SPC) that may result in changes in design, tolerances, or processing methodsEvaluates capital equipment investments and prepare cost justifications. Designs and prepares concept drawings of new equipment or modifications to existing equipment. Manages the overall implementations of capital equipment projectsDevelops tooling and fixtures for new products and processes and works with tooling vendors to supply such designsIdentifies and implements solutions for issues relating to safety, quality, productivity, and cost reductionsPrepares documentation for new manufacturing processes and engineering procedures. Shares specialized knowledge with others. Represents Company on specific projects, leads and participates in project teams.EducationBachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Industrial Engineering2-3 years of experience in a manufacturing environment supporting production, quality, or continuous improvementBackground in troubleshooting production issues, reducing scrap, improving cycle time, and supporting new product introduction.Manufacturing processes such as machining, assembly, fabrication, molding, or automationRubber and plastic injection molding experience is a plusProcess improvement methods like Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5SAbility to develop and optimize work instructions, routings, process flows, and standard workFamiliarity with GD&T, tolerancing, prints, tooling, fixtures, and quality systemsUnderstanding of safety, ergonomics, and regulatory complianceBackground in troubleshooting production issues, reducing scrap, improving cycle time, and supporting new product introduction is often preferredMust be proficient in CNC programming and have a hands-on approach in the troubleshooting of CNC equipment CAD tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD or InventorERP/MRP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or similarData analysis using Excel, Minitab, or other statistical tools cycle time, and supporting new product introduction is often preferredStrong problem-solving and root cause analysisGood communication with operators, supervisors, quality, and design teamsProject management and cross-functional collaborationAbility to work on the shop floor and drive changeTechnical KnowledgeManufacturing processes such as machining, assembly, fabrication, molding, or automationRubber and plastic injection molding experience is a plusProcess improvement methods like Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5SAbility to develop and optimize work instructions, routings, process flows, and standard workFamiliarity with GD&T, tolerancing, prints, tooling, fixtures, and quality systemsUnderstanding of safety, ergonomics, and regulatory complianceBackground in troubleshooting production issues, reducing scrap, improving cycle time, and supporting new product introduction is often preferredMust be proficient in CNC programming and have a hands-on approach in the troubleshooting of CNC equipment Software and SystemsCAD tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD or InventorERP/MRP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or similarData analysis using Excel, Minitab, or other statistical tools cycle time, and supporting new product introduction is often preferredSoft SkillsStrong problem-solving and root cause analysisGood communication with operators, supervisors, quality, and design teamsProject management and cross-functional collaborationAbility to work on the shop floor and drive changeEqual Employment OpportunityParker is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer.
