What You’ll Do

This entry-level Manufacturing Engineer role is ideal for a recent engineering graduate who wants hands-on experience across manufacturing operations. You will work closely with engineering and production teams to improve processes, support new product launches, and troubleshoot production issues.

  • Support the installation, sequencing, and optimization of machines, workstations, tools, and production equipment
  • Analyze process data (cycle times, measurements, test results, trends) to identify improvements
  • Help resolve manufacturing and production problems in collaboration with production teams
  • Conduct process inspections and support continuous improvement across assembly, welding, machining, and other operations
  • Participate in new product introduction activities and cross-functional engineering support

What We’re Looking For

We encourage applications from early-career candidates with strong mechanical aptitude and a willingness to work on the plant floor.

  • Bachelor’s degree (ABET-accredited preferred) in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Electrical, Civil, Aeronautical Engineering, or Engineering Technology
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with production teams
  • Practical, hands-on problem-solving mindset and mechanical aptitude
  • Familiarity with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CNC equipment, welding processes, or Lean Manufacturing principles is a plus
  • Eagerness to learn and grow across multiple manufacturing disciplines

What You’ll Gain

This position offers broad exposure to manufacturing processes and on-the-job development rather than a purely desk-based role. You will gain practical experience across assembly, welding, machining, and production engineering, with opportunities to rotate into different functions as your career progresses.
