Manufacturing Engineer II

As a Manufacturing Engineer II, you will be responsible for developing, implementing, and optimizing manufacturing processes to ensure the efficient and cost-effective production of high-quality products. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to resolve production issues, improve yield, and introduce new products.

• →Design, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes, including assembly, testing, and inspection, to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality.
• →Demonstrate a strong understanding of threaded fasteners, bolted joints, clamp load theory, torque-angle relationships, and prevailing torque concepts.
• →Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for torque-controlled fastening processes and assembly operations.
• →Understand product design, manufacturing processes, and operational challenges to develop effective fixture and tooling solutions.
• →Support the installation, programming, validation, and troubleshooting of manual, pneumatic, electric, and DC torque tools.
• →Conduct process capability studies and root cause analyses, and implement corrective and preventive actions for production issues.
• →Develop and maintain process documentation, including work instructions, process flow diagrams, and control plans.
• →Evaluate and select manufacturing equipment, tools, and fixtures, and oversee their implementation and qualification.
• →Collaborate with design engineers to ensure the manufacturability of new products and provide input on design for manufacturing (DFM).
• →Participate in new product introduction (NPI) activities, including process validation and production ramp-up.
• →Monitor production metrics, analyze data, and identify areas for continuous improvement.
• →Ensure compliance with safety regulations, quality standards, and environmental policies.
• →Lead or participate in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma initiatives.

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 3-5 years of experience in a manufacturing engineering role, preferably in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, including assembly, testing, and inspection.
• Experience troubleshooting fastening failures, stripped threads, cross-threading, loose fasteners, and torque-related defects.
• Proficiency in process improvement methodologies, such as Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma.
• Experience with CAD software, such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD.
• Familiarity with statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis tools.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
• Experience with new product introduction (NPI) and process validation is a plus.
• Ability to travel occasionally as required.
