If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

The Manufacturing Engineer in the Powertrain Department will take an active role in designing, optimizing, and implementing manufacturing processes and equipment for electric powertrain systems. This position requires collaboration with Manufacturing Operations, Logistics, Product Engineering, Quality, and New Product Introduction (NPI) to ensure smooth and efficient production processes, supporting critical production metrics such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and other key performance indicators (KPIs).

With 2+ years of experience, the Manufacturing Engineer will have the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects, contribute to process improvements, and support the implementation of automation systems. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to solve complex problems and implement solutions with increasing independence while still working under the guidance of senior engineers.

You Will: 

  • Lead or support the design, development, and validation of manufacturing equipment for Powertrain assembly, focusing on process optimization and equipment performance.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and refine manufacturing processes, with a focus on improving material flow, tooling, automation integration, and ergonomics.
  • Work with Product Engineering to ensure manufacturability of designs while addressing cost, quality, and throughput requirements.
  • Play an active role in Powertrain line launches, ensuring equipment readiness, process stability, and production alignment to OEE and KPI targets.
  • Participate in and lead problem-solving initiatives using methodologies such as 8D, Six Sigma, or root cause analysis, with a focus on reducing process variation and improving line performance.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts aimed at increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing product quality.
  • Implement and optimize control systems, including torque tools and dispensing systems, to ensure process reliability and consistency.
  • Maintain and update documentation such as work instructions, control plans, and PFMEA, ensuring alignment with manufacturing standards and compliance requirements.
  • Stay current on industry trends and technological advancements to enhance manufacturing processes and provide input for innovative solutions.

You Bring: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 2 to 4 years of experience in Manufacturing or Process Engineering, preferably within Powertrain or electric vehicle (EV) systems.
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing technologies, including torque tools, dispensing systems, automation, and MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) concepts.
  • Experience with wire bonders and related equipment is a plus.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting process improvements, driving OEE enhancements, and meeting key manufacturing KPIs in a high-volume production environment.
  • Proficiency with 3D modeling software (AutoCAD, Catia, Delmia), with the ability to apply these tools to simulate and optimize manufacturing layouts and processes.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with experience applying Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or root cause analysis methodologies.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across departments and contribute to cross-functional teams.
  • Organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with torque tools, fluid dispensing processes, and related manufacturing equipment.
  • Familiarity with automation technologies, including robotics, PLCs, sensors, and conveyors, with a demonstrated ability to apply these technologies in manufacturing environments.
  • Strong ability to analyze and improve production processes to meet OEE and FPY targets, contributing to both efficiency and cost-saving initiatives.
  • Solid project management and leadership skills, capable of taking ownership of smaller projects or playing a key role in larger initiatives.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
