    Description
    Big Ass Who?
    We didn't set out to start a fan company. We set out to solve a problem-workplace discomfort. (Sorry, HR, not your kind.) Facilities become furnaces during the summer, but businesses still expect peak performance and productivity. Without providing the basic human right of comfort, that's just asinine. Seeing how overhead fans cooled California dairy cows begged a massive question for our founder. "Can a fan be made to revolutionize comfort for people?" he uttered.
    That's when the HVLS Fan Company was born-with the first-ever patented high-volume, low-speed fan. But that name? BOR-ing. And customers knew it. We kept getting calls asking, "Are you the guys who make those big ass fans?" Hell yeah, we are. And Big Ass Fans was born, complete with our own cheeky donkey mascot, Fanny. Today, we don't just move air, we transform experiences. Big Ass Fans deliver comfort where it counts. We build every product like lives depend on it. Because, turns out, they do.
    Our success is a result of the Big Ass Fans team's innovation. Are you seeking an opportunity to work with extraordinary people with an entrepreneurial spirit? Do you have something that sets you apart from the rest? With a bias for action, we want you to #livelifebigass and bring the next great BAF product to market. From our customers to our employees, we are passionate about what we can accomplish together. The successful candidate will bring passion, energy, and a "get it done" mentality to BAF and the industrial business and contribute in a meaningful way to realize the company's full potential in the market.
    Opportunity
    As a Big Ass Fans Manufacturing Engineer, you'll be the go-to hero on the production floor. You'll jump in to troubleshoot issues on the fly, crush downtime, reduce scrap, and turn quick fixes into long term wins. Every day brings a new challenge, and you'll be the one driving the solution. You will also play a big role in shaping our future: supporting new product launches, rolling out process upgrades, and helping design the next generation of safer, higher-quality, cost savvy manufacturing lines. If continuous improvement runs through your veins, you'll fit right in.
    What You'll Do
    • Support daily production by troubleshooting issues and reducing downtime.
    • Drive improvements through the application of lean manufacturing processes in safety, quality, throughput, and efficiency on the production floor.
    • Lead root cause investigations using statistical methods and recommend changes in designs, tolerances, or processing methods to implement long-term corrective actions (not band-aids).
    • Implement and maintain safety and quality systems for new and current processing equipment.
    • Support NPI launches by helping with line readiness, process setup, documentation, and training.
    • Develop and improve manufacturing processes, fixtures, tools, and work instructions.
    • Design, install, or troubleshoot manufacturing equipment.
    • Provide documentation, detailed instructions, drawings, or specifications to demonstrate how devices, parts, equipment, or structures are to be fabricated, constructed, assembled, modified, maintained, or used.
    • Determine time, costs, resources, or materials needed to perform work activity.
    • Use data (downtime, scrap, cycle time) to prioritize improvements and track results
    • Partner with Operations, Quality, and Maintenance to execute projects and close actions quickly.
    • Contribute to insource vs. outsource decisions via completion of internal quoting processes.
    • Review product designs for manufacturability and completeness.
    • Other responsibilities and tasks, as needed, to support the business needs.
    What You'll Bring
    • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, or related) or equivalent experience
    • 2+ years of manufacturing / production support experience preferred (open to strong entry-level candidates)
    • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills (mechanical/process mindset)
    • Experience driving CI improvements (Lean, 5 Whys, Kaizen, Standard Work)
    • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work with urgency in a fast-paced environment
    • Strong communication skills and ability to work with outside vendors, operators, leads, supervisors, and leadership
    • Hands-on approach and willingness to spend time on the production floor
    • Experience with CAD (SolidWorks/AutoCAD)
    • Ability to work on a non-conditioned production floor environment
    • Ability to lift up to 50lbs and physically assist in moving production equipment
    Think you have what it takes, but your background doesn't perfectly align with this role? No sweat If this position gets your fan spinning, we encourage you to apply and tell us how you'll succeed with your unique skills in your application.
