Manufacturing Engineer Technician

About the Role

The technician supports both production and engineering teams, emphasizing fabrication, machining, equipment builds, and hands‑on mechanical work, and reports directly to the Manufacturing Engineering Department. Key duties include collaborating with engineers on new equipment builds and retrofits, performing reverse‑engineering, assembling mechanical, pneumatic and structural systems, and conducting MIG/TIG welding on fixtures and custom components. The role also involves operating laser‑cutting and press‑brake equipment, manual and CNC machining, and supporting lean improvement initiatives to boost equipment uptime and production throughput. Additional responsibilities include assisting maintenance with troubleshooting, part fabrication, equipment rigging, and shop improvements. • Build and assemble mechanical, pneumatic, and structural equipment from concept through production handoff. • Perform MIG and TIG welding on fixtures, frames, and custom components. • Conduct reverse‑engineering and upgrades of existing equipment. • Operate laser‑cutting systems, including setup, basic programming, and verification. • Use press brake for bending and forming as needed. • Measure dimensions with calipers, micrometers, and other precision tools. • Participate in lean events and continuous‑improvement projects to increase uptime and efficiency. • Develop or improve fixtures, tooling, and workstations to reduce waste. • Assist maintenance with mechanical troubleshooting, part fabrication, and equipment modifications. • Rig, move, and position equipment throughout the facility, including staging and shipping preparation. • Read and interpret engineering drawings, prints, and sketches. • Apply basic electrical wiring for sensors and switches. • Utilize Microsoft Office and SolidWorks (or basic CAD) for documentation and design support.
