Manufacturing Engineer

New Yesterday

About the Company A well-established manufacturer of precision hydraulic and pneumatic components is expanding its manufacturing engineering team. Due to increasing customer demand and growing operational needs, the company is seeking two hands-on Manufacturing Engineers — one with a focus on Assembly & Process Engineering and the other on Swiss CNC Programming & Machining . Both roles will split time between the shop floor and engineering functions, directly supporting production and driving continuous improvement. Position Summary These roles are ideal for engineers who thrive in a hands-on manufacturing environment and are skilled at troubleshooting in real time. The company is looking for practical problem-solvers who can work closely with operators, improve processes, and contribute directly to production efficiency and quality. Openings Role A: Assembly & Process Engineering Design and develop tooling, jigs, and fixtures to improve assembly operations.
Troubleshoot and improve shop floor manufacturing processes.
Validate processes and lead pilot runs for new products or improvements.
Support capital equipment projects and implement lean manufacturing practices.
Use CAD tools (Autodesk Inventor preferred) to design and modify components.
Role B: Swiss CNC Programming & Machining Program and modify Swiss CNC machines using G-code.
Convert existing parts/programs to run on newer machines.
Utilize CAM software (Mastercam, Edgecam, Esprit) to optimize machining operations.
Support process improvement initiatives in machining areas.
Collaborate with CNC supervisors and machinists to resolve production issues.
Key Responsibilities (Both Roles) Spend approximately 50% of time on the shop floor, 50% in technical/engineering work.
Troubleshoot manufacturing issues quickly and effectively.
Implement process improvements to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve quality.
Collaborate with production, quality, and maintenance teams.
Support continuous improvement initiatives, including FMEA and lean manufacturing projects.
Maintain accurate documentation for tooling, processes, and equipment.
Qualifications Required: 3+ years of manufacturing engineering or process engineering experience (2 years with strong technical aptitude will be considered).
Hands-on experience in assembly or machining environments.
CAD proficiency (Autodesk Inventor preferred; SolidWorks or Creo acceptable).
For Role B: Minimum 2 years of Swiss CNC programming experience.
CAM software experience (Mastercam, Edgecam, Esprit).
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
Preferred: Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering.
Experience with FMEA, lean manufacturing, and process validation.
Exposure to both machining and assembly operations.
Ideal Candidate Profile Hands-on, solutions-focused mindset.
Comfortable interacting with operators and resolving shop floor issues directly.
Curious, process-oriented, and eager to improve workflows.
Able to balance daily problem-solving with long-term project work.
You should be proficient in: CNC Tooling Troubleshooting Skills G-Code CAD/CAM Software Machines & technologies you'll use: CNC Swiss Lathe
