Senior Manufacturing Engineer

About the Role

GEOTEK manufactures engineered composite products for global infrastructure. We're looking for a senior engineer to own our filament winding manufacturing technology—designing next-generation equipment and production cells, leading multimillion-dollar capital projects, and solving the complex problems that come with scaling a proprietary process. This isn't a maintain-the-line role. You'll set technical direction, work directly with operations and executive leadership, and build manufacturing systems that outlast you.

What You'll Do

• Own the technical direction of GEOTEK's filament winding processes
• Design and develop new manufacturing equipment, tooling, and automation
• Lead capital projects end to end—scope, budget, schedule, commissioning, startup
• Lead root cause investigations and implement permanent corrective actions
• Drive process improvements that move safety, quality, productivity, and capacity
• Partner with suppliers on solutions that don't exist off the shelf
• Develop standards, work instructions, and documentation that support training and knowledge transfer
• Mentor engineers and production teams

Requirements

• 5-10 years in continuous processing manufacturing (composites/filament winding/pultrusion is a plus, not required)
• Strong CAD skills—SolidWorks parts, assemblies, and drawings with GD&T per ANSI Y14.5
• Proven lean/process improvement mindset—you identify inefficiencies and own solutions
• Demonstrated ownership of projects from concept through implementation
• Hands-on problem solver who runs multiple projects independently and sets their own priorities
• Clear communicator with everyone from line workers to executives
• Bachelor's degree in engineering

Preferred Qualifications

• Formal GD&T training
• Experience designing manufacturing tooling and equipment
• Familiarity with thermoset resin systems (polyester, vinyl-ester, urethane)

Physical Work Conditions

Time should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs. While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals. Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.

Compensation

The compensation range for this position is $98,174 - $155,239. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications.
