What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manufacturing Engineer position at Blue Alpine LLC?
About Us
We are a lean, fast-paced manufacturer of small appliances. We design, prototype, and manufacture high-quality consumer products with a global supply chain. We are looking for a multi-talented Manufacturing Engineer who genuinely thrives on the challenge of designing - and relentlessly redesigning - components to build the highest quality machines possible. The ideal candidate will be capable of wearing multiple hats, including:
- Design Engineer
- Production Manager
- Global Supply Chain Manager
- Procurement Engineer
- Jigs and Fixtures Designer
- General Business Operator/Manager
- Trade Compliance Officer
The Role
This is not a "desk-only" CAD job. You will be a hybrid engineer and operator. You will lead our physical product design while simultaneously managing our international supplier network, production lines, and trade compliance. If you love product development but also enjoy the chess match of global logistics and manufacturing, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
Product Design & CAD: Own the mechanical design of our small appliances using SolidWorks. Develop 3D models, technical drawings, and prototypes.
Production Line Management: Design and optimize assembly line workflows, create standard operating procedures (SOPs), and troubleshoot manufacturing bugs.
Global Supply Chain Management: Interface directly with international suppliers to source materials and coordinate production schedules.
Trade Compliance: Oversee import/export logistics, manage tariff classifications (HTS codes), and ensure compliance with international trade regulations.
Qualifications
The Technical Core: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks.
Manufacturing Experience: Hands-on knowledge of injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, and small appliance assembly processes.
Global Logistics Savvy: Proven experience working with international suppliers (specifically in Southeast Asia) and managing freight/logistics.
Compliance Literacy: Working knowledge of import regulations, trade compliance, and tariff structures.
The "Maker" Mindset: A proactive problem-solver who is equally comfortable tweaking a CAD file or troubleshooting a physical machine on the shop floor.
What We Offer
Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
A high-autonomy environment with direct influence over product direction.
The opportunity to wear multiple hats and lead a global operation.
How to Apply
Please submit your resume along with a portfolio (or examples) of products you have designed and successfully brought to production.
