Manufacturing Engineer

Fast Growing Manufacturer of Precision Machining based consumer products seeks 2-3 Manufacturing Engineers to work out of a brand new, state of the art facility. The company is investing multi-million dollars in capital equipment each year, primarily state of the art 5 axis machining equipment along with some automation moving parts from work cell to work cell. Ideal candidates will have a 4 year degree (not required though) along with 2 years of experience working within a precision CNC Machining facility. Must have the soft skills to work with machinists on the shop floor and be able to balance multiple projects at one time. Awesome benefits, fantastic culture, and good variable compensation opportunities (15% target bonus).

These are newly created roles due to sustained growth and will be involved in complex fixture design work, design for manufacturing review, Router & BOM development, creating toolpaths, and other process improvement projects. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.

The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for supporting and improving CNC machining processes through a combination of fixture/tooling design, process development, and production support. This role works cross-functionally with programming, quality, and production teams to drive efficiency, consistency, and manufacturability in precision machining operations.

Primary Duties and Responsibilities

Process Optimization: Develop and refine CNC machining processes to improve throughput, reduce variation, and ensure reliable, high-quality production.

Fixture & Tooling Design: Support the design and improvement of fixtures and workholding solutions to enable repeatable setups and efficient machining.

Manufacturing Documentation: Create and maintain detailed 2D/3D CAD drawings, setup instructions, and documentation to support production and quality.

Production Support: Provide hands-on troubleshooting and support during machining, including first-article runs and new part introductions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with programmers, machinists, engineers, and quality personnel to ensure seamless process integration.

DFM Involvement: Participate in DFM reviews as needed to provide feedback on part geometry, tolerances, and manufacturing considerations.

Continuous Improvement: Contribute to lean initiatives focused on process stability, scrap reduction, and productivity gains.

Standards & Revision Control: Maintain organized design files, standards, and revision histories using PDM or ERP tools.

Required Skills, Experience, and Education

Proficient in SolidWorks (or similar) for mechanical design and drawing creation.

At least 6 months of experience in Fixture Design or working in a machine shop setting.

Solid understanding of CNC machining, tooling, and workholding fundamentals.

Familiarity with GD&T and interpreting engineering drawings.

Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to support shop floor operations.

Organized and capable of managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
