What are the responsibilities and job description for the Manufacturing Engineer position at Harvey Performance Company?
WHO WE ARE:
At Harvey Performance Company, we're more than a team; we're a community. Our thriving, dynamic, and rapidly expanding organization values community, celebrates success, and fosters personal and professional growth opportunities.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
We’re adding our first Manufacturing Engineer at our Cuyahoga Falls site to support a growing pipeline of engineering work and bring more dedicated focus to it.
There are a number of active and planned projects in place, ranging from process improvements to shop layout and equipment changes. This role will step into that work, help move it forward, and make sure it gets completed the right way.
You’ll spend time on the floor early on, working alongside the team, then transition into driving projects as you get up to speed
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:
- Lead process improvement initiatives focused on cycle time, setup reduction, and machine utilization
- Own AutoCAD works across the site, including drawings, tool documentation, and shop floor layout projects
- Work together with maintenance, CNC, Braze, post-production, and QA on cross-functional projects
- Drive projects from kickoff to completion, with full ownership of the timeline and outcomes
- Build and update SOPs, work instructions, and other process documentation as needed
- Investigate quality issues, run root cause analysis, and put corrective actions in place
- Collaborate with engineering peers across the broader Harvey network on shared initiatives
- Educate and train operators and supervisors on new processes and workflow changes
- Support continuous improvement work including SMED, cycle time reduction, and uptime initiatives
YOU'LL BRING:
- 2 years of manufacturing engineering experience in a production environment
- Working AutoCAD proficiency
- A background in CNC machining or similar manufacturing processes, with a practical understanding of how things run on the floor
- A self-starter mindset, with examples of taking on work and pushing it through to completion
- Comfort working both on the floor and at a desk, and knowing when to be in each
- Clear, direct communication that works for operators, supervisors, and non-technical leaders
NICE TO HAVE:
- Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering
- Experience in cutting tools, grinding, or precision manufacturing
- Six Sigma, Lean, or DMAIC project experience
- Plant layout or facilities planning experience
- SolidWorks proficiency in addition to AutoCAD
- ERP system experience
WHERE YOU'LL WORK:
You'll be based at our Cuyahoga Falls, OH site, a precision cutting tool manufacturing operation in Northeast Ohio. The environment is clean, the team is experienced, and the work spans CNC grinding, brazing, and post-production. Expect to split your time between the shop floor and your desk, with heavier floor presence early on as you learn the operation.
