Manufacturing Engineer – Hands-On Operations Focus
Position Overview
We are looking for a mechanically inclined Manufacturing Engineer who thrives on the production floor and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. This is not a desk-only engineering role. The right person will be equally comfortable analyzing data and physically working alongside maintenance and production teams to solve equipment, tooling, and process challenges in real time.
This role plays a key part in driving capital projects, strengthening plastics processing performance, improving automation reliability, and enhancing overall plant efficiency. Success in this position requires practical mechanical ability, strong troubleshooting skills, and a proactive, get-it-done mindset.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Lead capital equipment and infrastructure projects from concept through implementation.
- Spend significant time on the production floor supporting molding and automation systems.
- Diagnose and resolve mechanical, tooling, and automation issues hands-on.
- Work directly with maintenance and operations teams to improve equipment uptime and reliability.
- Identify root causes of process failures and implement permanent corrective actions.
- Drive safety, productivity, and cost-improvement initiatives.
- Coordinate timelines, milestones, and cross-functional communication for engineering projects.
- Support tooling improvements, machine modifications, and equipment upgrades as needed.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, Packaging, or a related technical field.
- Minimum 4 years of engineering experience within a manufacturing environment, preferably plastics processing.
- Demonstrated experience managing capital or process improvement projects.
- Strong mechanical background — capable of physically troubleshooting equipment and working directly on machinery when needed.
- Ability to read prints, understand mechanical systems, and collaborate closely with maintenance.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced production setting rather than a purely office-based environment.
Additional Experience That's a Plus
- Experience in injection molding operations.
- Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt), or PMP certification.
- Familiarity with CAD tools such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD.
- Background in automation systems troubleshooting.
Why Join Us
We are a stable, growth-oriented manufacturer with decades of industry experience and a strong commitment to operational excellence. Our culture values collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement — and we support the people who drive our success.
We offer a competitive benefits package including:
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid time off and holidays
- Employee wellness programs
Job Title : Nuclear Engineer (Naval Reactors Engineer) Category / Component : Officer • Active Overview Design, regulate, and oversee the Navy's nuclear propulsion program, including reactor design, fleet operations, and eventual defueling and decommissioning of nuclear powered ships and submarines from Naval Reactors Headquarters and associated Department of Energy laboratories and shipyards.
Key Responsibilities Provide technical direction in areas such as reactor and fluid systems design, reactor physics, materials development, component design for steam generators, pumps, and valves, instrumentation and control for reactor and propulsion plants, testing and quality control, radiation shielding, and chemistry and radiological controls; review designs and analyses from laboratories, shipyards, and industry partners; coordinate with fleet units to ensure safe and reliable nuclear plant operation.
What to Expect Assume significant technical responsibility early in your career as part of a lean headquarters staff; work primarily in an analytical and oversight role rather than operating plants at sea; balance long term engineering projects with time sensitive fleet and shipyard issues; frequent coordination with senior civilian engineers, naval officers, and technical teams; high expectations for attention to detail, judgment, and written and oral communication.
Work Environment Work mainly at Naval Reactors Headquarters in the Washington, District of Columbia area with regular engagement with Department of Energy laboratories, nuclear training sites, shipyards, and nuclear powered ships and submarines; office based work that includes document reviews, technical meetings, inspections, and site visits rather than day to day shipboard watchstanding.
Pathways, Training & Advancement Officer commissioning through programs such as Officer Candidate School or the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate program followed by a structured technical qualification program at Naval Reactors; rotational exposure to laboratories, prototypes, shipyards, and fleet support issues; progressive responsibility leading projects and becoming a subject matter expert, with opportunities for professional military education and advanced graduate study in technical fields.
Entry through the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate program for qualified college students and recent graduates, or selection via Officer Candidate School for those who already hold qualifying degrees; all applicants must meet Nuclear Propulsion Program academic and technical screening standards in addition to general officer commissioning requirements.
Qualifications All Navy jobs require meeting general enlistment or commissioning standards, which typically include: Eligibility to serve in the United States Navy, which may involve United States citizenship or other legal residency and work status, depending on the program and current law and policy A high school diploma or equivalent for enlisted positions, and a bachelor's or qualifying professional degree for officer positions Meeting age limits that vary by program and are set in law and Navy policy.
