What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering - Manufacturing Engineer position at IEWC?
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/Bevco 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.
