  • Familiarity with raw materials, production processes, quality control, and cost optimization strategies.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities, including root cause analysis and identifying corrective actions.
  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to clearly convey ideas to team members and management.
  • Capable of analyzing information to evaluate results and implement the best solutions.
  • Commitment to continuous learning and keeping technical knowledge up to date.
  • Education & Experience :

  • 3-5 years of experience as a Manufacturing Engineer, with 2-5 years of practical application of Lean and Six Sigma manufacturing strategies.
  • Experience with SOLIDWORKS and Epicor ERP is highly desirable.
  • Six Sigma Green Belt certification or higher is preferred.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Background in machining center operations or electro-mechanical assembly.
  • Experience with SOLIDWORKS PDM and familiarity with custom vehicle upfit manufacturing processes.
