Manufacturing Engineer

Position Summary

As a Motivair Manufacturing Engineer you will play a crucial role in managing the development and improvement of manufacturing processes. Evaluates manufacturing processes by designing and conducting experiments, applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly, tooling, materials, and lean manufacturing principles. This includes conferring with equipment vendors, soliciting observations from operators, quality engineering, and customer feedback.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Collaborate with design team to ensure products are optimized for manufacturability, quality, and balancing functionality, cost, and production efficiency
• Continuously identify areas of improvement through analysis of manufacturing operations, including, but not limited to, workflow planning, space requirements, personnel requirements, equipment layout, time studies, first time through performance, and scrap percentage to reduce cost, improve, and optimize productivity and quality
• Assure product and process quality by establishing work instructions, process capabilities, designing finished- product testing methods, and validating manufacturing processes through pilot builds
• Provide manufacturing decision-making information by calculating production, labor, and material costs, reviewing production schedules, and estimating future requirements
• Prepare product and process reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information and trends
• Provide data-driven manufacturing engineering information when responding to internal and external inquiries and maintain resolution documentation
• Implement manufacturing tests such as Hi-Pot and maintain compliance to agency (cULus, IEC, CE, and others as required) and applicable government regulations
• Keep equipment operational by coordinating maintenance and repair services; following manufacturer's instructions, established procedures, and requesting outside services
• Maintain product and process database by ensuring the documentation is up to date and stored in a central repository
• Train production personnel as needed on flow manufacturing concepts, new equipment and processes, and data collection and usage

Position Qualifications

• B.S. in Industrial or Mechanical Engineering required
• 5-10 years of experience in related field

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Strong understanding of electro-mechanical components, assemblies, and manufacturing processes. Familiarity with relevant industry standards and quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001:2015)
• Proficiency in using various testing and measurement equipment for electro-mechanical products
• Experience in conducting performance or reliability testing
• Experience in lean operations including problem solving techniques; Root Cause – 5 Why, PFMEA, 6 Sigma
• Proven history of analyzing data and statistics to improve industrial processes.
• Experience in automated systems a plus
• Ability to read and write detailed work instructions, technical drawings, reports, business correspondence, and effectively present information and respond to questions from internal and/or external sources
• Strong organizational, communication, leadership, continuous improvement, and critical thinking skills
• Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks effectively
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite
• Strong teamwork and interpersonal skills, with a positive attitude and willingness to collaborate with colleagues at all levels
