  • Set up routers, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and item data within ERP systems for new projects
  • Interface cross-functionally to define requirements, align priorities, and manage project scope
  • Partner with sales to develop cost estimates and routing times for new projects
  • Support manufacturing through tooling, fixturing, and automation including robotic and orbital welding
  • Drive process improvements across fabrication, welding, and polishing operations
  • Develop and manage project plans, Gantt charts, dashboards, and tracking tools
  • Identify risks and implement solutions to keep projects on track


What They’re Looking For

  • Strong background in mechanical and/or manufacturing engineering within an industrial environment
  • Experience designing for manufacturability in fabrication, welding, or machining environments
  • Hands-on mindset with the ability to work closely with production teams
  • Proficiency with 2D and 3D CAD (Autodesk or similar)
  • Experience working with ERP systems, BOMs, and routing structures
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting


Qualifications

  • BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
  • 5–10 years of relevant engineering experience
  • Exposure to Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies is a plus


Why This Role Stands Out

  • High visibility role with direct impact on production and product delivery
  • Strong mix of design and hands-on manufacturing engineering
  • Opportunity to drive automation and process improvements
  • Collaborative environment where engineering plays a key role
