Summary: The Manufacturing Engineer I (ME I) works mainly within the operations group supporting operations and production requirements. The ME I will also support Design and Project Engineering efforts translating requirements into production implementation activities. Based on design requirements defined through drawings and specifications, the ME I plans and prepares manufacturing documentation according to Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) practices, including Visual Work Instructions (VWI). The ME I identifies equipment, develops tooling plans and cellular manufacturing concepts for their assigned area of responsibility. The ME I supports and develops new manufacturing and tooling concepts, prepares reports showing areas of improvement, supports improvement projects to show results and initiate efforts in the development of new manufacturing and production techniques.
The Manufacturing Manager will define specific responsibilities for each Manufacturing Engineer in accordance with their area of expertise. Responsibilities will be reviewed at least once annually preferably near/during the performance review period or as organizational changes occur.
The ME I plans and carries out policies and procedures for manufacturing operation efforts utilized in the manufacturing areas.
