Original job description

Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer Job DescriptionThe Manufacturing Engineer serves as the primary technical resource supporting air-cooled chiller manufacturing operations on 2nd shift. This role focuses on designing and optimizing manufacturing layouts, developing and improving assembly and materials handling processes, and adapting equipment and tooling to production conditions. The engineer drives continuous improvement across mechanical assembly, electrical integration, controls systems, and product testing to ensure safe, efficient, and repeatable operations that consistently meet customer quality, delivery, and cost expectations.Responsibilities

Provide day-to-day manufacturing engineering support for air-cooled chiller production operations.
Manage high-complexity design and planning of factory layouts for assembly and materials handling to optimize flow and efficiency.
Adapt machine and equipment designs to factory and production conditions, ensuring compatibility with existing processes and infrastructure.
Plan sequences of operations and specify procedures for the fabrication of tools, equipment, and other production assets that affect product performance.
Lead resolution of complex manufacturing issues involving mechanical assemblies, electrical systems, controls, and testing processes.
Identify and eliminate manufacturing constraints that impact safety, product quality, delivery performance, or manufacturing cost.
Support production teams in achieving operational performance objectives, including throughput, first-pass yield, and on-time delivery.
Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing processes for mechanical assembly, electrical integration, and factory testing operations.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives that enhance product quality, increase throughput, and improve overall manufacturing efficiency.
Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process flows, and standard operating procedures, to ensure consistent and repeatable processes.
Partner with Industrial Engineering on factory flow optimization, capacity planning, and productivity improvement initiatives.
Troubleshoot electrical assemblies, control panels, wiring systems, sensors, actuators, and communication networks to resolve production issues.
Interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and controls documentation to support assembly, integration, and testing operations.
Support root cause investigations related to electrical, controls, and software-related production issues, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
Develop and improve manufacturing processes for electrical assembly and test operations to increase reliability and efficiency.
Troubleshoot mechanical assembly issues involving refrigeration systems, piping, structural assemblies, and electromechanical components.
Support process improvements related to assembly methods, tooling, fixtures, and material presentation to reduce cycle time and improve ergonomics.
Collaborate closely with Product Engineering to improve manufacturability, reduce complexity, and enhance assembly efficiency.
Support new product launches through process development, production readiness activities, and manufacturing validation to ensure smooth ramp-up.
Participate in design reviews and provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback to influence product designs for efficient production.
Ensure manufacturing processes are capable of meeting safety, quality, delivery, and cost requirements before product launch.

Essential Skills

Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related Technology field.
Minimum of 5 years of manufacturing engineering or automation experience in a production environment.
Strong understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems in manufacturing, including assembly processes, controls, and testing.
