โข You are the fourth engineer joining a three-person team, so you get real ownership from week one instead of waiting your turn.
โข Half your week is continuous improvement work. This is not a pure firefighting seat.
โข When a process needs a new tool, you design it, source it with the vendor, install it, and follow it through on the line. Start to finish, yours.
โข The site is the fastest growing business of its kind in the region, with new equipment and new processes landing continuously.
โข You report directly to the engineering manager who runs the floor. No layers between you and the decision.
๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ
โข You have carried projects from scope through implementation and can point to exactly what you built.
โข You are comfortable getting pulled onto a throughput problem in the morning and back onto your improvement project in the afternoon.
โข You open SolidWorks or AutoCAD without thinking about it.
โข You would rather fix the root cause than log the symptom.
โข If you want a mature plant where every process is already dialed in, or a seat where someone else owns the tooling, this is not your role.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐๐ป
โข Daily production, process, and throughput support on a high volume line
โข Root cause analysis and corrective action when something breaks
โข Lean and continuous improvement projects that move cost, quality, and efficiency
โข Tool and fixture design, vendor sourcing, build, install, and follow through
โข Process changes, validation, and equipment qualification
โข Work instructions and hands-on training for the operators who run your process
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ
โข A bachelor's degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
โข Three or more years of manufacturing engineering in a real production environment
โข A track record of owning projects from scope through implementation
โข Working knowledge of SolidWorks or AutoCAD
โข Hands-on Lean and continuous improvement experience
โข Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship, now or in the future
โข You already live within commuting distance. This role is fully onsite and there is no relocation package.

โข $88,000 to $100,000 base, depending on experience
โข Performance bonus plan
โข Medical, dental, and vision insurance
โข 401(k) with a company match
โข PTO and holidays, plus paid parental leave
โข Tuition reimbursement and professional development support
โข Monday through Friday onsite, with occasional weekend support when production calls for it
