Job description

Job Title: Manufacturing Support Engineer

Position Summary

The Manufacturing Support Engineer plays a critical role in optimizing production processes, improving product quality, and ensuring operational efficiency across the manufacturing floor. This position partners cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Quality, and R&D to design scalable processes, implement continuous improvement initiatives, and support new product introductions. The role is highly data-driven, leveraging ERP systems and performance metrics to drive measurable business outcomes, while also supporting day-to-day manufacturing needs such as documentation, troubleshooting, and product configuration management.


Key Responsibilities

1. Process Architecture & Workflow Design

  • Design and optimize assembly line layouts, workstation ergonomics, and material flow.
  • Evaluate production processes to improve throughput and reduce cycle times.
  • Develop and maintain detailed work instructions to standardize operations and ensure consistency across production.
  • Support subassembly development to streamline production and improve efficiency.


2. Continuous Improvement & Tooling Engineering

  • Develop and implement custom tooling, jigs, and fixtures to improve assembly efficiency and reduce human error.
  • Lead and support initiatives such as torque specification standardization projects to ensure product quality and consistency.
  • Apply error-proofing (Poka-Yoke) techniques to minimize defects and variability.
  • Drive initiatives to reduce setup times and improve repeatability.


3. Data Analytics, BOM Management & Labor Standards

  • Analyze ERP (NetSuite) labor data to establish and maintain accurate standard times for all work orders.
  • Create, review, and implement Bill of Materials (BOM) changes to ensure product accuracy and manufacturability.
  • Monitor labor performance and identify opportunities for productivity improvements.
  • Support cost analysis and efficiency reporting.


4. Problem Solving, Troubleshooting & CAPA Implementation

  • Troubleshoot assembly issues in real-time in collaboration with the production team to minimize downtime.
  • Partner with Assembly Managers and the Quality team to identify root causes of defects.
  • Provide hands-on support to the Quality team as needed, including investigations and corrective actions.
  • Engineer mechanical and process-based corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
  • Ensure sustainable solutions to eliminate recurring issues.


5. Cross-Functional Collaboration (Design for Manufacturing - DFM)

  • Act as a liaison between R&D and Manufacturing to ensure product designs are manufacturable, scalable, and cost-effective.
  • Provide input on product design to improve assembly efficiency and reduce complexity.
  • Support design iterations that enhance product integrity and production readiness.


6. Operations Support & New Product Introduction (NPI)

  • Lead the transition of new products from prototype to full-scale production.
  • Develop and document manufacturing processes, work instructions, and production standards.
  • Ensure readiness of production teams, tooling, and systems for new product launches.
  • Support pilot builds and continuous improvement during early production phases.


7. Data Integrity & ERP Management

  • Audit and maintain ERP (NetSuite) routings, BOMs, and work centers to ensure alignment with actual production processes.
  • Ensure accuracy of the digital manufacturing environment (“digital twin”).
  • Support financial accuracy through reliable production and labor data.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in a manufacturing or production engineering environment.
  • Hands-on experience with BOM management, work instruction development, and assembly troubleshooting.
  • Experience with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies.
  • Proven analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.


Core Competencies

  • Process Optimization & Lean Manufacturing
  • Data Analysis & KPI Management
  • BOM & Documentation Control
  • Root Cause Analysis & Troubleshooting
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Manufacturing Readiness & NPI Execution
