Description:
Position Title: Electromechanical Manufacturing Engineer
Position Location: Uxbridge, Massachusetts Headquarters
Position Type: On-site
Compensation: $100,000 - $120,000 (Compensation depends on skills, knowledge, education, and experience)
Position Snapshot: The Electromechanical Manufacturing Engineer will plan, implement, and oversee strategic projects aimed at optimizing electromechanical manufacturing and final assembly processes for gearboxes, gearmotors, and related drive assemblies. This hands-on role will focus on production support, troubleshooting, process validation, tooling and fixture development, end -of-line testing, and continuous improvement in an assembly environment. This position works closely with production, quality, design engineering, maintenance, supply chain, and operations leadership to improve safety, quality, delivery cost and flow.
About you:
You’re a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys being close to the production floor and improving how products are built. You are comfortable supporting assembly operations for electromechanical products such as gearboxes, gearmotors, motors, drives, or similar mechanical/electrical assemblies.
You can identify inefficiencies, troubleshoot mechanical and electrical integration issues, and take action to improve cost, quality, safety, and flow. You understand how process variables such as torque, mechanical fits, alignment, lubrication, tooling, fixtures, and test methods impact final product performance. You are comfortable supporting new product introductions, working cross-functionally, and using Lean methodology and data-driven problem solving to keep production running smoothly.
You can lead improvement work, influence priorities, mentor others, and act as a go-to technical resource for manufacturing processes, documentation, equipment, and corrective actions.
A day in the life:
-
Serve as a senior technical resource for electromechanical assembly and production support for gearboxes, gearmotors, and related drive assemblies.
-
Provide hands-on engineering support to production teams to troubleshoot and resolve manufacturing issues involving assembly sequence, tooling, torque, mechanical fits, lubrication, alignment, wiring, test performance, and end-of-line quality.
-
Lead medium-complexity process improvement projects focused on cost, quality, yield, throughput, cycle time, downtime reduction, ergonomics, and production flow.
-
Own manufacturing process capability for assigned assembly and test areas; use data, process observations, and root cause analysis to identify variation and drive corrective actions.
-
Develop, validate, and improve assembly processes, work instructions, standard operating procedures, tooling, fixtures, test methods, and production documentation.
-
Support process validation and equipment qualification activities for assembly tooling, fixtures, test stands, and end-of-line test equipment.
-
Support line balancing, standard work development, workstation layout improvements, and material flow improvements in a production assembly environment.
-
Serve as a technical point of contact for new product introductions, pilot builds, production ramp activities, and manufacturability feedback for gearbox and gearmotor assemblies.
-
Create and maintain PFMEAs, control plans, work instructions, SAP routings, and other process quality documentation; participate in audits as needed.
-
Coordinate cross-functional corrective actions using structured problem-solving methods such as 8D, 5-Why, and other root cause analysis tools for recurring defects, downtime drivers, and production constraints.
-
Partner with quality, design engineering, maintenance, and operations leadership to resolve complex manufacturing issues and prevent recurrence.
-
Support the selection, improvement, and acceptance of manufacturing equipment, tooling, fixtures, test stands, and production support systems; contribute to capital project justification where appropriate.
-
Train operations personnel on new or revised processes, tooling, fixtures, equipment operation, test procedures, and quality expectations.
-
Mentor Manufacturing Engineer team members, technicians, and production support resources; provide technical review and approval for process changes, documentation updates, and training materials.
-
Follow safety protocols and actively contribute to maintaining a safe, organized, and efficient production environment.
