Manufacturing Engineer II

Responsibilities

• Independently develop, implement, and improve manufacturing methods, operation sequences, tooling, and process documentation for components, subassemblies, and final assemblies.
• Own manufacturing readiness for assigned products, ensuring routings, BOM structures, labor standards, and work instructions are accurate and optimized.
• Influence product design to improve manufacturability and assembly efficiency.
• Identify and implement manufacturing process improvements that increase safety, ergonomics, throughput, and product quality while reducing cycle time and cost of goods sold.
• Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions related to manufacturing failures, NCRs, and CARs in collaboration with Quality.
• Estimate manufacturing costs and establish time standards used for production planning and quoting.
• Support implementation of engineering changes by ensuring manufacturing documentation, routings, and shop processes reflect the latest design intent.
• Cook with quality, production, and engineering teams to resolve manufacturing and production issues.
• Provide technical support to production teams by troubleshooting equipment issues, process problems, and manufacturing bottlenecks, including assisting with rework planning when necessary.
• Evaluate equipment and tooling requirements and support capital equipment implementation.
• Coordinate with quality, production, and engineering teams to resolve manufacturing and production issues.
• Evaluate equipment and tooling requirements and support capital equipment implementation.
• Support or lead continuous improvement initiatives such as Lean events or Kaizen activities.
• Analyze production data and performance metrics to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement within the value stream.
• Lead moderately complex manufacturing improvement projects within assigned production areas.
• Serve as a technical resource to production personnel and junior engineers, including providing training on new manufacturing processes, tooling, and methods.
