Design Precision. Master Flow.
Manufacturing Engineer
Opportunity Overview: In specialized, high-precision manufacturing, the gap between a design and an exceptional finished product is bridged by true manufacturing engineering. At Our Client, an established operation in the Greater Kalamazoo area, continuous innovation and technical excellence drive daily operations. This mandate exists to take full process ownership across a high-mix, low-volume production environment—influencing product lifecycles from initial manufacturability reviews straight through to final assembly line layout and optimization. For an experienced engineer who thrives on hands-on technical problem-solving, this role offers an ideal balance of CAD layout design, PLC automation integration, and lean process balancing. Rather than feeling like a small cog in a massive assembly engine, here your continuous improvement initiatives directly shape plant flow, product quality, and operational safety.
Is This You? The right engineer for this opportunity is an inquisitive, hands-on problem solver who loves digging into complex production puzzles. You are energized by taking full ownership of the shop floor—equally comfortable modeling in SolidWorks, interpreting complex GD&T specifications, and optimizing physical workflow layouts. Rather than managing purely from behind a screen, you prefer a dynamic setting where you can apply root-cause analysis to eliminate waste, streamline fabrication, and interface directly with cross-functional teams. You bring a versatile skill set across sheet metal fabrication, welding, and automated assembly systems, combined with a natural ability to guide teams through change. If you are motivated by process mastery, high-precision standards, and the freedom to innovate across the complete lifecycle of a product, this mandate will match your strengths.
