At Mayville Engineering Company (MEC), great manufacturing starts with smart processes, innovative thinking, and people who aren't afraid to challenge the way things have always been done. We're looking for an experienced Senior Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys getting out on the production floor, solving real-world challenges, and finding better ways to make things happen. In this role, you'll help develop and improve manufacturing processes, support production teams, introduce new technology, and turn engineering solutions into measurable results. If you're someone who sees a production challenge as an opportunity, enjoys working across departments, and takes pride in making manufacturing better every day, we'd like to talk.
Here's Where You'll Make a Difference
Bring New Products to Life: Lead sample jobs and first article releases, ensuring manufacturing processes are ready for a successful production startup.
Own the Process: Provide engineering support to assigned production departments, including process reviews, documentation, nonconforming material evaluations, and product and process improvements.
Connect Engineering and Production: Work closely with manufacturing, Sales, and Sales Engineers to address customer requests, communicate changes, and resolve technical challenges.
Design for Success: Participate in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design and Process Approval Review (DPAR) activities to help ensure efficient, reliable production.
Turn Plans Into Production: Review customer blueprints, specifications, and technical documents to develop production quotations, cost estimates, and process requirements, including production rates, setup times, and tooling needs.
Make Continuous Improvement Happen: Lead process-specific improvement initiatives focused on efficiency, quality, productivity, and cost reduction.
Set the Team Up for Success: Develop clear setup sheets, work instructions, checklists, and run charts to support consistent manufacturing operations.
Catch Issues Before They Grow: Conduct workstation audits, evaluate nonconforming materials, determine rework methods, and drive root cause analysis and corrective actions.
Bring New Ideas to the Table: Identify emerging manufacturing technologies, recommend equipment and tooling improvements, and develop return-on-investment (ROI) analyses to support business decisions.
Help Shape Future Investments: Support and, when appropriate, lead capital equipment justification and implementation projects.
Share What You Know: Provide technical training, mentor less-experienced engineers, and serve as a resource for production teams and project personnel.
Keep Raising the Bar: Recommend improvements to manufacturing methods, materials, equipment, and tooling that strengthen performance and reduce costs.
