Engineering - Manufacturing Engineer

Shape your future at IEWC! As an employee-owner, you will be a valued team member, contributing to something bigger and gaining skills that will set your career up for hypergrowth!

Do you enjoy owning the transformation of customer requirements and product designs

into robust, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing systems? Bevco Engineering is

seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to lead manufacturing readiness for new and existing

products, drive continuous improvement across the shop floor, and serve as the technical

bridge between design engineering, operations, and customers.

This role goes beyond support—you will own manufacturing processes, influence design

for manufacturability, and be accountable for cost, quality, and delivery performance in an electrical control panel manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing Engineering Ownership

• Own the translation of customer drawings, specifications, and requirements into
  
  

standardized, build-ready manufacturing processes.

• Identify critical-to-quality (CTQ) features and ensure they are properly controlled
  
  

through process design, tooling, and documentation.

• Lead design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews and proactively drive
  
  

improvements to reduce risk, labor, and rework.

• Develop and validate labor estimates, routings, and manufacturing assumptions for
  
  

quoting and capacity planning.

New Product Introduction (NPI) Leadership

• Lead manufacturing activities for NPI programs, ensuring BOM accuracy, routing
  
  

integrity, and production readiness.

• Define pilot build strategy, lead pilot builds, and transition products smoothly into
  
  

full production.

• Partner with Design Engineering to resolve gaps, ambiguities, and manufacturability
  
  

concerns early.

• Establish process controls and acceptance criteria before release to production.
  
  

Process Development & Continuous Improvement

• Design, document, and optimize assembly processes for electrical control panels
  
  

and related systems.

• Develop and maintain detailed work instructions, standard work, and visual aids to
  
  

support safety, quality, and efficiency.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean manufacturing principles
  
  

(waste reduction, flow, standardization).

• Analyze production data to identify bottlenecks, quality trends, and opportunities
  
  

for cost and cycle-time reduction.

Project & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Plan and manage manufacturing engineering deliverables across multiple projects
  
  

simultaneously.

• Coordinate tooling, fixtures, equipment, materials, and labor requirements to
  
  

support production schedules.

• Identify risks early, escalate appropriately, and implement corrective actions.
• Serve as a manufacturing engineering point of contact for Operations, Quality,
  
  

Supply Chain, and Customers.

Shop Floor & Customer Interface

• Provide hands-on engineering support during pilot builds, early production, and
  
  

complex builds.

• Troubleshoot production issues related to process, tooling, documentation, or
  
  

equipment.

• Collaborate directly with customers to clarify requirements, resolve documentation
  
  

issues, and support change implementation.

• Support production equipment and machinery from a process and reliability
  
  

standpoint.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical
  
  

Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience).

• Experience in electrical control panel manufacturing, machine building, or custom
  
  

industrial equipment strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated experience owning manufacturing processes from design handoff
  
  

through production.

• Strong ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and
  
  

customer specifications.

• Experience developing routings, labor standards, and work instructions.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and project
  
  

management tools.

• Working knowledge of manufacturing standards, quality systems, and
  
  

documentation control.

• Comfortable operating independently with clear accountability for results.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with a bias toward root cause and prevention.
• Able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, custom manufacturing
  
  

environment.

• Clear communicator who can influence across engineering, operations, and
  
  

customers.

Why Join IEWC Engineering?

• Own manufacturing outcomes—not just tasks.
• Play a central role in launching customer programs and scaling production.
• Work in a collaborative environment where manufacturing engineering has real
  
  

influence.

• Competitive compensation, strong benefits, and room to grow into senior or
  
  

leadership roles.

• The above represents the essential job functions that you are assigned to perform in your job. If you are unable to perform these essential duties, please see Human Resources as IEWC may be able to provide reasonable accommodations against the ADA requirements.
