Manufacturing Engineer
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionAbout the Company
A well-established manufacturer of precision hydraulic and pneumatic components is expanding its manufacturing engineering team. Due to increasing customer demand and growing operational needs, the company is seeking two hands-on Manufacturing Engineers — one with a focus on Assembly & Process Engineering and the other on Swiss CNC Programming & Machining. Both roles will split time between the shop floor and engineering functions, directly supporting production and driving continuous improvement.
Position Summary
These roles are ideal for engineers who thrive in a hands-on manufacturing environment and are skilled at troubleshooting in real time. The company is looking for practical problem-solvers who can work closely with operators, improve processes, and contribute directly to production efficiency and quality.

Design and develop tooling, jigs, and fixtures to improve assembly operations.
-
Troubleshoot and improve shop floor manufacturing processes.
-
Validate processes and lead pilot runs for new products or improvements.
-
Support capital equipment projects and implement lean manufacturing practices.
-
Use CAD tools (Autodesk Inventor ) to design and modify components.
Role B: Swiss CNC Programming & Machining
-
Program and modify Swiss CNC machines using G-code.
-
Convert existing parts/programs to run on newer machines.
-
Utilize CAM software (Mastercam, Edgecam, Esprit) to optimize machining operations.
-
Support process improvement initiatives in machining areas.
-
Collaborate with CNC supervisors and machinists to resolve production issues.
Key Responsibilities (Both Roles)
-
Spend approximately 50% of time on the shop floor, 50% in technical/engineering work.
-
Troubleshoot manufacturing issues quickly and effectively.
-
Implement process improvements to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve quality.
-
Collaborate with production, quality, and maintenance teams.
-
Support continuous improvement initiatives, including FMEA and lean manufacturing projects.
-
Maintain accurate documentation for tooling, processes, and equipment.
