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.

Openings

Role A: Assembly & Process Engineering

• 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.

Qualifications

Required:

• 3+ years of manufacturing engineering or process engineering experience (2 years with strong technical aptitude will be considered).

• Hands-on experience in assembly or machining environments.

• CAD proficiency (Autodesk Inventor ; SolidWorks or Creo acceptable).

• For Role B: Minimum 2 years of Swiss CNC programming experience.

• CAM software experience (Mastercam, Edgecam, Esprit).

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

:

• Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering.

• Experience with FMEA, lean manufacturing, and process validation.

• Exposure to both machining and assembly operations.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Hands-on, solutions-focused mindset.

• Comfortable interacting with operators and resolving shop floor issues directly.

• Curious, process-oriented, and eager to improve workflows.

• Able to balance daily problem-solving with long-term project work.

You should be proficient in:

• CNC Tooling
• Troubleshooting Skills
• G-Code
• CAD/CAM Software
