Manufacturing Engineer

Provide engineering design support focused on manufacturing tooling in a heavy manufacturing environment. This role is responsible for the design, development, modification, and validation of production tooling and fixtures that enable safe, repeatable, and efficient fabrication, machining, assembly, and test operations.

* Design and develop tooling such as weld fixtures, machining fixtures, assembly aids, hydraulic test fixtures, lift/handling devices (as applicable), gauges, and error-proofing solutions to support production needs
* Create and maintain tooling CAD models and drawings, including tolerances, GDandT as required, materials, finishes, and specifications
* Support fabrication and build of tooling through vendor coordination and/or internal shop support, including weldment and machined tooling components
* Troubleshoot manufacturing and tooling issues; perform root cause analysis and implement tooling improvements to reduce variation, rework, and cycle time
* Evaluate tooling concepts and recommend design approaches that meet production, quality, ergonomics, and safety requirements
* Compile and evaluate tooling design and test data; document results and incorporate lessons learned into new designs
* Develop or support tooling validation plans, including fit checks, first-article evaluations, tryouts, and acceptance testing
* Prepare and maintain tooling-related manufacturing documentation as needed

* Bachelor's degree in a related engineering or technology field, or equivalent combination of education and experience
* 2+ years of relevant engineering experience (tooling, manufacturing engineering, mechanical design, or related) preferred
* Proficiency with PTC Creo (e.g., parametric modeling, assemblies, detailing/drawings); experience managing models/drawings in a controlled environment preferred
* Familiarity with welding processes (MIG, TIG, etc.), heavy machining, precision hydraulic assembly, and mechanical/electromechanical assembly and test
* Experience designing tooling for manufacturing repeatability and production readiness preferred
* Only general guidance is needed on routine work; instructions on new assignments as needed
* Support, communicate, reinforce and defend the mission, values and culture of the organization
