Here's an overview of the key responsibilities, skills, and qualifications associated with a typical Manufacturing Engineer role:

Key Responsibilities:

• Process Design and Improvement:

o Develop, design, and optimize manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality.

o Identify and implement process improvements, including automation or other technologies that reduce waste and increase productivity.

o Analyze manufacturing processes (e.g., machine, operator, component, and setup) to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies and propose solutions.

• Product Lifecycle Management:

o Manage the product lifecycle, ensuring that products are manufactured according to design specifications, quality standards, and cost constraints.

o Ensure design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) principles are applied early in product development to facilitate easier and cost-effective production.

• Collaboration with Cross-functional Teams:

o Work closely with R&D, production, quality assurance, supply chain, and other departments to ensure manufacturing processes meet product requirements and specifications.

o Act as a liaison between engineering and production to facilitate communication and resolve any production-related issues.

• Documentation and Revision Control:

o Support the implementation of lean manufacturing principles, continuous improvement including Kaizen workshops and events, and other quality initiatives aimed at reducing defects and improving productivity.

• Training and Support:

o Train production personnel on new processes, tooling, and equipment to ensure they are capable of operating efficiently.

o Develop training materials and visual aids to help reduce the learning curve for operators.

• Manufacturing Planning and Costing:

o Develop and maintain manufacturing schedules and ensure production runs according to plan.

o Analyze production costs and identify opportunities to reduce waste, optimize labor and materials, and increase overall efficiency.

• Troubleshooting and Issue Resolution:

o Troubleshoot and resolve issues that arise during production, such as instrument failures, quality issues, and process inefficiencies.

o Investigate root causes of production problems and implement corrective actions.

• Supply Chain and Vendor Coordination:

o Support Supply Chain team as needed when engineering intervention or technical resource is required

Requirements

• Technical Skills:

o Proficiency in engineering principles, manufacturing processes, and mechanical design.

o Familiarity with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), engineering drawings, and BOM creation.

o Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Access, Project), with an emphasis on data analysis and process documentation.

o Experience with ERP systems (e.g., Infor10 Syteline, SAP, or Oracle) for documentation and inventory management.

o Proficient with CAD Design programs such as SolidWorks

• Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills:

o Ability to analyze and resolve complex production issues, using methods such as root cause analysis, failure analysis, and statistical tools.

o Strong troubleshooting skills to identify process inefficiencies or equipment malfunctions.

• Quality Management:
