Position Title: Senior Manufacturing Engineer
Wage: Based on Experience
Build, Improve, and Make an Impact in a Growing Manufacturing Environment
A rapidly growing, privately held manufacturer is looking to add a Manufacturing Engineer to their team in Waukesha County. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll drive process improvements, support automation initiatives, and play a key role in scaling operations within a fast-growing division.
If you enjoy designing solutions, improving how things are built, and working in an environment where your ideas are actually implemented—this is a strong opportunity to step into.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Design and improve manufacturing processes, workflows, and assembly methods
- Develop fixtures, tooling, and gages to support production efficiency
- Lead and support automation initiatives (equipment selection, process improvements)
- Partner with engineering to optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM)
- Drive lean and continuous improvement projects
- Optimize labor, workflow, and plant layout
- Support quality initiatives and production troubleshooting
What They’re Looking For:
- 5-10+ years in Manufacturing or Mechanical Engineering
- Strong understanding of mechanical drawings and processes
- Experience with fixture/tooling design and process improvement
- Hands-on background in assembly, machining, fabrication, or welding environments
- CAD experience (SolidWorks or similar)
- Self-directed, problem solver who thrives in a hands-on environment
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- High-growth division with significant investment and expansion plans
- Opportunity to take ownership of automation and process improvements
- Collaborative, non-corporate environment with strong leadership support
- Direct impact on production efficiency and overall operations
- Knowledge transfer opportunity from an experienced engineer prior to retirement
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive base salary: $110K–$130K+
- Quarterly bonus program (historically consistent and strong payouts)
- 401K with company contributions + profit sharing
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- PTO, holidays, and additional perks
Who This Role Fits Best:
This role is ideal for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys being on the floor, solving real-world problems, and driving improvements in a growing production environment—not sitting behind a desk all day.
