While both roles require welding certifications and work in similar environments, the shop manages the process, and the welder executes the work.

Job description

An 85-year-old, family-owned Chicago manufacturer is hiring a Manufacturing Engineer. The timing is the interesting part.

They are launching a new product roadmap with several new products a year, and they go live on a new ERP — Infor CloudSuite Industrial — in January. You would lead the APQP work on those launches and build the routers and BOM structure in a fresh system, rather than inheriting someone else's.

The shop is fully vertically integrated: CNC and manual machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding and hand assembly, all under one roof. When something goes wrong, you walk out to the floor and fix it. You are not filing a ticket with a supplier.

What you would do

Design fixtures and production equipment in Autodesk Inventor — strong SolidWorks users are welcome to apply

Own production routers and BOM documents through the ERP transition

Lead APQP on new product launches

Analyze process data, production KPIs and manufacturing cost data

Write production work instructions and test procedures

Provide technical support and training to the shop floor

What you need

5+ years in a machine shop, sheet metal fabrication, welding or hand assembly environment

Fixture design experience for machining and for manual assembly

Production router and BOM experience in an ERP system

Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering, or the experience to match

Lean and Six Sigma — Green or Black Belt preferred; significant documented project work will be considered in its place

Bilingual Spanish and Power BI are a plus

Details

$100,000–$115,000 depending on experience

Standard hours are 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday, fully onsite in Northwest Chicago. There is some flexibility on start time — as early as 7:00 a.m.

401(k), medical, dental and vision, PTO and 10 paid holidays

Relocation: No relocation expenses covered. Candidates should be within 1-1.5 hour drive of NW Chicago.
