Full Job Description

Position: Manufacturing Engineer

Reports to: Director of Manufacturing

Department: Engineering

Shift: 1st Shift

Status: Exempt

Summary: We are seeking a versatile, hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who thrives in a dynamic shop-floor environment. This is not a desk-only role — you will be expected to roll up your sleeves, diagnose issues directly on the equipment, and drive projects from concept through implementation on the floor.

The ideal candidate has a strong maintenance background (mechanical, electrical, hydraulics, pneumatics, and controls) and has advanced into engineering through real-world experience. While formal education is valued, we prioritize demonstrated problem-solving ability, practical common sense, and a proven track record of making things work on the production floor. Strong project management skills are essential as you will lead equipment upgrades, process optimizations, new product introductions, and capital projects.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

· Optimize current manufacturing processes — develop parameters, reduce labor, minimize scrap, and improve part quality through hands-on process development.

· Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems on injection molding machines, robots, material handling equipment, chillers, dryers, and auxiliary systems.

· Lead capital projects and equipment installations from specification and vendor selection through budgeting, timeline management, installation, and validation.

· Develop and maintain preventive and predictive maintenance programs in close collaboration with the maintenance team.

· Create and update process documentation, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.

· Analyze production data and KPIs to identify improvement opportunities and implement lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives.

· Provide hands-on technical support, training, and mentorship to operators, technicians, and maintenance personnel.

· Source and evaluate new technologies, tooling, and equipment to enhance manufacturing capabilities and efficiency.

· Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for production issues; engage OEMs, vendors, and external technical resources when needed to solve complex problems.

· Ensure all activities comply with safety regulations, quality management system requirements, and company policies.

Required Skills/Education and Experience:

Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment, with significant time spent in maintenance or technical troubleshooting roles — preferably within plastic injection molding or closely related processes

· Demonstrated career progression from maintenance technician or similar hands-on roles into engineering or technical leadership positions. Candidates who "worked their way up" are strongly preferred.

· Strong practical knowledge of mechanical systems, electrical controls, PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar), hydraulics, and pneumatics.

· Proven project management experience leading cross-functional initiatives with clear accountability for budget, timeline, and results.

· Genuine willingness and ability to work daily on the production floor — performing physical tasks, troubleshooting equipment in real time, and getting hands dirty as the situation requires.

· Excellent practical problem-solving skills with a "figure it out" mindset. Comfortable asking the right questions and leveraging both internal team expertise and external professional resources (OEM technicians, engineers, consultants).

· Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, hydraulic/pneumatic diagrams, and technical manuals.

· Strong communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills — able to work effectively with production teams, management, and external partners.

· High school diploma or equivalent required. Technical certifications, associate degree, or relevant trade schooling highly valued. A bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering is a plus but not required for candidates with exceptional hands-on experience and results.

What We Value Most

We are looking for practical, street-smart engineers who can often diagnose a problem by listening to the machine or watching the cycle — not just by staring at data on a screen. The candidates who stand out to us are those who have gained their knowledge through years of turning wrenches, tracing wires, aligning molds, and making production happen when it mattered most.

Hands-on problem solvers who take pride in getting dirty to fix things right the first time.

Team players who are equally comfortable leading a project meeting or helping a technician debug a robot program at 2 a.m. if needed.

Self-starters who take ownership, follow through, and continuously look for ways to make the operation better.

Professionals who respect the value of both institutional knowledge on the floor and external expertise when the problem demands it.

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience and a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

· Medical insurance

· Retirement plan with company match

· Paid time off and holidays

· Opportunities for ongoing technical training and career advancement

· A privately owned manufacturing company where practical skills and results are genuinely valued and rewarded.

How to Apply

Please email your resume and a brief cover letter to [email protected]. In your cover letter, we would love to hear about 1–2 specific examples of hands-on troubleshooting successes or project leadership achievements from your maintenance or manufacturing engineering background. Tell us how you solved a real problem on the floor that others couldn’t.

Candidates currently based in Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin are especially encouraged to apply. This is an on-site role with no remote option — we need someone who wants to be part of the daily action on our shop floor.

We are eager to connect with experienced, results-driven professionals who can quickly contribute and deliver tangible value.

Principals only, no recruiters will be considered.
