Description:

The Manufacturing Engineer directs, communicates, and coordinates activities involved in the planning, testing and implementation of new and current product projects for the firearms facility. Interacts with Production, and Design to develop and implement all aspects of new firearms designs or manufacturing equipment.

Requirements:

Assist production in the resolution of manufacturing problems to maintain production schedules. 

Plan details of all new and current product projects to coincide with the scheduled dates of project implementation. 

Analyze products, equipment specifications, and performance requirements, to determine designs, which can be produced by existing manufacturing processes. Work with the designer to resolve designs to better fit available manufacturing methods. 

Determine the feasibility of designing new plant equipment or modifying existing facilities considering cost, available space, time limitations, company planning, and other technical and economic factors.

Develop process records and supporting information for new and existing products, so that the process is controllable, and the model drawing is executed as designed.

Analyze test data and reports to determine if design and process meets functional and performance specifications

Provide engineering support to manufacturing operations as needed.

Oversee and direct the design of tools, gages, and fixtures for manufacturing operations.

Assess manufacturability of component designs.

Access technical information (i.e. process records, model drawings, SOP’s, tool and fixture drawings) as needed to support manufacturing operations.

Continually work to develop process improvements and enhancements to maximize production and quality.

Direct and coordinate manufacturing in the building of prototype products.

Provide technical information concerning manufacturing or processing techniques, materials,    

properties, and process advantages and limitations which affect long-range plant and product engineering planning.

Compile and analyze operational and test data to establish performance standards for newly designed or modified equipment or products. Plans and develops experimental test programs.

Provide technical assistance to component and tooling suppliers.

Compile complete engineering estimates, and write “capital appropriations requests”

Bachelors of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent, with 4-7 years of extensive manufacturing experience preferably in a metalworking environment.
