Manufacturing & Design Engineer
Build complex systems from concept to production and actually see them come to life.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll take ownership of real manufacturing challenges, drive design decisions, and help bring highly engineered products into production. If you enjoy bridging design, fabrication, and operations, this is the kind of role where you’ll make a visible impact.
Job Summary
The Manufacturing & Design Engineer leads the design and execution of complex engineering projects within a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This role works cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and commercial teams to deliver high-quality products on time and within budget. You’ll be involved from concept through production, owning design, improving manufacturability, and helping streamline processes through automation and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to define products and create detailed drawings to support machining, fabrication, and assembly
- 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
