ABOUT US:

A.R.M. (USA) Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of Amusement Rides, Amusement related products and Industrial Fabrication. We're located in Wintersville Ohio and provide Design and Fabrication of Steel, Aluminum and Stainless-Steel structures, Mechanical Systems, Hydraulic Systems, Electrical Control & Distribution Systems, and Paint / Coatings. We specialize in designing mobilization and portability of large structural & mechanical devices. We have a strong commitment to Safety, Quality Control and Customer Support & Satisfaction.

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to support and grow our manufacturing processes. An ideal candidate has experience with SolidWorks CAD Modeling, heavy fabrication processes, manufacturing documentation and quality control to support both new and legacy projects.

JOB SUMMARY:

The Manufacturing Engineer will develop, optimize, and oversee manufacturing processes for amusement rides, amusement related components, and specialty projects. This role involves establishing and improving processes related to welding, forming, machining, coatings, and assembly, ensuring quality control for all production. Additional responsibilities include 3D CAD modeling, creation of manufacturing and assembly drawing packages, sourcing acceptable and qualifying replacement parts due to vendor obsolescence. The position also requires research and use of archived drawings and historical data to maintain continuity of product support throughout the lifecycle of A.R.M. (USA) Inc. projects.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Develop, document, and optimize manufacturing processes for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components. This will require working with the production teams to determine best paths forward using the skills and tools available in the company. This may require recommending new equipment/tools or new techniques that might require new certifications for our personnel.
• Create and update 3D CAD models in SolidWorks of ride structures and components to support manufacturing and assembly.
• Generate complete manufacturing and assembly drawing packages, including fabrication details, BOMs, and installation instructions. These assembly packages must incorporate processes capable of being performed by our staff with minimum outsourced production.
• Review engineering designs for manufacturability, quality, and cost -effectiveness.
• Provide technical expertise to production teams on welding, forming, machining, coatings, and assembly practices. A focus on efficient processes and quality will be essential.
• Implement and maintain quality control standards, inspection methods, and process verification to ensure consistent product quality.
• Qualify replacement parts when issues arise.
• Contribute to customer support activities, providing technical input on rides and projects.
• Research and interpret archived drawings and historical ride data to support maintenance, repair, and retrofit projects.
• Collaborate with design engineering, supply chain, and quality teams to ensure smooth project execution.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for production or field issues.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives for safety, efficiency, and product reliability.
• Willingness to work within a steel fabricating and welding environment.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS :

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).
• 3–5 years of engineering experience in a manufacturing or fabrication environment.
• Strong knowledge of fabrication processes (welding, forming, machining, coatings).
• Proficiency in SolidWorks (part modeling, assemblies, and detailed manufacturing drawings required).
• Experience creating manufacturing and assembly drawing packages.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, weld symbols, and fabrication standards.
• Experience with multiple levels of quality measurement tools to ensure production accuracy and to perform incoming and final inspections (CMM, Laser, Materials Testing, etc.)
• Familiarity with quality control systems, inspection methods, and lean manufacturing practices.
• Strong problem -solving skills with the ability to handle production and field challenges.
• Effective communicator with cross -functional teams (engineering, production, supply chain, and customer support).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience in heavy fabrication, structural steel, or amusement ride manufacturing.
• Knowledge of coatings and corrosion protection methods (paint, powder coat, galvanizing).
• Familiarity with systems for manufacturing, inventory, and procurement.
• Experience in parts sourcing, vendor qualification, or supply chain support.
• Field or customer support experience for mechanical systems.

PHYSICAL & WORK ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS:

• Ability to work in a fabrication facility with exposure to welding, cutting, and heavy equipment.
• Ability to stand, walk, and occasionally lift up to 25–50 lbs.
• Comfortable wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) as required.
