The Manufacturing and Test Engineer communicates effectively with management and cross-functional stakeholders (daily/weekly) with status updates, resource needs, risks, and challenges to ensure progress across projects, production support, and continuous improvement activities.

 

Job Responsibilities:

• Build, test, and evaluate mechanical and electro-mechanical subassemblies, fixtures, and systems to meet performance, cost, quality, and schedule requirements as defined by management and company goals.


• Monitor and improve the efficiency and productivity of production lines and work cells using OpEx/LEAN methods. Maintain accurate technical documentation (work instructions, process sheets, inspection/test records) needed to support safe and repeatable production.


• Troubleshoot and maintain production fixtures and test stations, including mechanical interfaces, sensors, actuators, pneumatics, and basic electrical I/O as needed. Configure and maintain computers and networked equipment used to run automated test/verification software and collect results.


• Support production and assembly lines by troubleshooting process and equipment issues, including scrap/nonconformance analysis. Analyze data and statistics related to product performance, yield, scrap, and process capability; define and perform verification tests on products/subassemblies/fixtures; and implement countermeasures to resolve issues while maintaining EHS compliance and safe work practices.


• Develop qualification/validation procedures and perform testing on fixtures, tooling, mechanical assemblies, and measurement systems for precision manufacturing applications. Review new designs for manufacturability and serviceability; define the manufacturing operational sequence; and determine routings for each step in the process.


• Resolve product nonconformance issues; implement product, fixture, and process improvement/cost reduction initiatives through CAPA and Engineering Change processes, leveraging OpEx/LEAN problem-solving tools.


• Main contact for quality and production topics. Lead local quality metrics and nonconforming material processes; analyze and correct issues related to mechanical fit/function, assembly, inspection, and end-of-line verification; and support implementation and maintenance of the QMS while promoting safe, compliant practices.


• New product launch management and liaison with engineering/ manufacturing/ purchasing and sales.


• Design/ Build prototypes for NPD to ensure manufacturable design.


• Document work instructions, process sheets, tooling/fixture set-up instructions, and (as applicable) station programs/settings for all product lines supported.


• Simplify work cells with mechanical fixturing, ergonomic assembly aids, and end-of-line verification fixtures (electro-mechanical), ensuring repeatability, safety, and ease of use across product lines.


• Perform preventive maintenance and calibration of fixtures, gages, and test equipment; maintain calibration status, records, and traceability as required.


• Design/redesign operator-station fixtures and verification methods (e.g., mechanical checks, gaging, torque/force verification, leak testing, sensor checks) that confirm parts are acceptable before moving to the next operation, enabling rework/repair and reducing escapes. Incorporate error-proofing (poka-yoke) and appropriate safety features (guards/interlocks) where applicable.


• Document updates – Travelers, Work Instructions, Process Sheets, etc. Validation of the documents to confirm all operators are following them correctly for the products.


• Other duties may be assigned.

 

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 3-5 years of related experience in manufacturing engineering and/or mechanical/electro-mechanical assembly, fixturing, and validation/testing environments.


• Proficiency with Microsoft Office software (Word, Excel) and manufacturing database software.


• Required to have excellent English language skills, both written and verbal
