Manufacturing Engineer

We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to join our Manufacturing Engineering team and provide day-to-day technical ownership within our production operations.

This role is designed as an area-based, embedded engineering position, working directly alongside production employees, leads, and supervisors to ensure safe, efficient, and repeatable operations. While this position will initially support our Pick / Pack operations, all Embedded Manufacturing Engineers are cross-trained and expected to rotate between production areas as they become seasoned.

This is not a desk-based or project-only role — it is a hands-on position focused on daily execution, process stability, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do

Daily Production Support

• Provide real-time engineering support to production teams to ensure safety, quality, delivery, and labor targets are met
• Respond quickly to process disruptions, flow issues, material constraints, and quality concerns
• Support shift startups, staffing changes, and daily production priorities

Process Ownership & Standard Work

• Own and maintain standard work, labor standards, and visual controls for assigned areas
• Improve process flow, ergonomics, layout, and material presentation
• Identify and eliminate waste, variation, and rework

Quality & Error Prevention

• Partner with QA to reduce errors, defects, and customer escapes
• Implement mistake-proofing, visual management, and verification methods
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions

Continuous Improvement & 6S

• Lead CI efforts within assigned departments, including 6S and visual management
• Drive small, fast improvements with operators and leads
• Support larger improvement initiatives under the guidance of the Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Production Supervisors and Leads on daily execution
• Partner with Maintenance on equipment reliability and uptime improvements
• Coordinate with Supply Chain, EHSS, Facilities, and QA as needed

What Success Looks Like

• Stable, predictable production flow in assigned areas
• Improved throughput, labor efficiency, and schedule adherence
• Reduced errors, scrap, and rework
• Clear, usable standard work and visual controls
• Strong trust and partnership with production teams
