Manufacturing Engineer

1. Create and maintain detailed machining process routings, including operations, cycle times, and work instructions.

1. Collaborate with design and process engineers to ensure routings align with product specifications and manufacturing capabilities.

1. Continuously review and update routings to reflect process improvements, equipment upgrades, and changes in production requirements.

1. Work closely with other Manufacturing Engineers to ensure machining processes integrate seamlessly with upstream and downstream operations (e.g., welding, assembly, finishing).

1. Coordinate with design engineering teams to address manufacturability concerns and recommend design changes to improve machining efficiency.

1. Partner with quality engineers to ensure machining processes meet quality standards and resolve any non-conformance issues.

1. Analyze machining workflows and identify opportunities to streamline operations and reduce bottlenecks.

1. Collaborate with other engineers to implement Lean Manufacturing principles across multiple processes.

1. Share best practices and lessons learned with the broader engineering team to drive continuous improvement.

1. Work with CNC Programmer and Manufacturing Engineers to validate tooling and gauging are available.

1. Coordinate with maintenance teams to schedule preventive maintenance and minimize downtime for machining equipment.

1. Provide input on equipment upgrades or new technology investments to improve machining capabilities.

1. Participate in cross-functional project teams for new product introductions, process changes, and capacity expansions.

1. Coordinate with MRP and Scheduling to ensure machining processes align with production schedules and material availability.

1. Support project timelines by ensuring machining routings and processes are delivered on time and meet project requirements.

1. Develop and maintain accurate documentation for machining processes, including routings, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.

1. Communicate process changes and updates effectively to production teams and other stakeholders.

1. Provide regular updates to management and project teams on machining process performance and improvement initiatives.

1. Train operators and technicians on machining processes, routing procedures, and equipment operation.

1. Share knowledge and collaborate with other Manufacturing Engineers to foster a culture of teamwork and innovation.

• Strong knowledge of machining processes, including turning, milling, drilling, grinding, and threading.

• Proficiency in creating and managing process routings in SAP.
