Production/Manufacturing Engineer

A technology-focused firm specializing in high-performance suspension systems and components, primarily serving the motorsports and automotive industries. The company is known for engineering advanced shock absorbers and custom solutions designed to enhance vehicle handling, durability, and overall ride performance.

Position Summary The Production / Manufacturing Engineer provides hands-on engineering support to manufacturing operations and is responsible for developing, implementing, troubleshooting, and improving manufacturing processes, tooling, equipment, and production methods. company designs and manufactures highly engineered vibration isolation, shock attenuation, noise contr ol, and acoustic solutions for demanding applications in aerospace, defense, industrial, and other highly regulated markets.

This position works directly with the products and processes used to manufacture these systems, including rubber and elastomer molding, metal-to-rubber bonding, tooling and fixture design, mechanical and dynamic testing, material and process development, manufacturing troubleshooting, and new product introduction.

The Production / Manufacturing Engineer works closely with Production, Quality, Design Engineering, Maintenance, suppliers, and other technical personnel to resolve manufacturing problems, improve process performance, reduce scrap and rework, and transition new and existing products successfully into production. This is a hands-on engineering role. The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly on the production floor, investigating technical problems, running trials and tests, developing practical solutions, and carrying improvements through implementation.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can independently identify problems, determine appropriate next steps, and carry solutions through implementation while collaborating with the broader engineering and manufacturing team. Essential Responsibilities

• Provide daily engineering support to manufacturing and production operations.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing routings, bills of material, work instructions, process specifications, and other production documentation.
• Develop, implement, and improve manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, equipment, and production methods.
• Troubleshoot production, tooling, equipment, material, and process-related problems.
• Perform root-cause analysis and develop corrective actions for manufacturing and quality issues.
• Conduct engineering trials, testing, measurements, and data analysis to evaluate products and manufacturing processes.
• Apply test and experimental results to improve process capability, product quality, manufacturability, and production efficiency.
• Support new product introduction and the transition of products from development into production.
• Design or modify tooling, fixtures, components, and manufacturing equipment using CAD as required.

Salary Range: $85,000 - $110,000 Required Qualifications

• Bachelor"s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong hands-on mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision, manage priorities, and drive assigned projects and technical issues through completion.
• Experience working in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, and production methods.
• Experience creating or maintaining manufacturing documentation such as routings, bills of material, work instructions, and process specifications.
• Familiarity with machining and general mechanical manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with dimensional inspection and metr ology tools.
• Experience using CAD software such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a regulated quality-management environment, preferably AS9100 aerospace manufacturing.
• Experience with AS9100, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or similar contr olled manufacturing quality systems.
• Familiarity with engineering change contr ol, document contr ol, traceability, nonconformance, corrective action, and configuration-contr olled manufacturing documentation.
• Experience with rubber, elastomer, polymer, compression molding, transfer molding, injection molding, or related polymer-processing technologies.
• Experience with tooling, mold design, or fixture design.
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing, root-cause analysis, corrective action, or structured continuous-improvement methods.
• Experience with manufacturing testing and data analysis.
• Experience with FEA or engineering simulation software.
• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.
