    • Assist Manufacturing Engineers with first article and pilot builds.
    • Identify, document, and communicate issues encountered during builds, including fit-up issues, unclear instructions, tooling gaps, or sequencing problems.
    • Help validate assembly sequence, tooling effectiveness, and standard work before release to production.

    Hands-On Execution & Waste Elimination

    • Build, modify, and repair carts, racks, tools, jigs, fixtures, and workstations to support manufacturing processes.
    • Execute physical improvements that reduce waste related to motion, handling, waiting, rework, and transportation.
    • Assist with layout changes, material flow improvements, and workstation setup.
    • Support 5S implementation by creating shadow boards, tool holders, visual controls, and standardized work areas.

    Engineering Support & Process Development

    • Work directly with Manufacturing Engineers to support new and existing processes. Assist in developing, testing, and implementing tooling and fixtures designed by Manufacturing Engineers.
    • Provide practical, hands-on feedback on manufacturability, ergonomics, safety, and ease of use.
    • Support process trials, pilot runs, and engineering changes on the shop floor.

    Production Support & Troubleshooting

    • Support production teams by troubleshooting assembly, tooling, and process related issues.
    • Help implement corrective actions for recurring issues and assist with root cause investigations.
    • Serve as a technical bridge between engineering and production during process changes.

    Equipment, Tooling & Safety

    • Assist with setup, adjustment, and maintenance of tooling, fixtures, and light equipment.
    • Verify that tools and fixtures are safe, functional, and properly maintained.
    • Support safe work practices and contribute to risk assessments for new or modified processes.

    Qualifications:

    • Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent hands-on experience in manufacturing, fabrication, mechanical, or industrial technology.
    • 2+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing or production environment.
    • Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to build and modify mechanical assemblies, fixtures, carts, and tooling.
    • Ability to read and interpret drawings, sketches, and basic work instructions. Comfortable working on the shop floor and collaborating with engineers and operators.

    Preferred:

    • Experience building mechanical assemblies, custom jigs, fixtures, carts, or shop tools.
    • Familiarity with Lean manufacturing concepts (waste elimination, 5S, standard work) is a plus.
    • Experience in electrical or mechanical assembly environments.
    • Welding, fabrication, or basic machining experience is a plus.
    • Strong problem-solving mindset with a bias toward action.

    Physical & Work Environment Requirements

    • Ability to work on the manufacturing floor for extended periods.
    • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
    • Comfortable working around industrial equipment, tools, and electrical assemblies.
