Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineer

Description We are experts in custom stainless steel fabrication serving a wide variety of industries. Our engineers hold two distinct roles: determining the optimal way to manufacture a customer's prints and participating in factory process and quality improvements. As a custom manufacturer, Northern Manufacturing is challenged with producing an amazingly wide variety of products efficiently and cost effectively.

The engineer must find creative and inventive ways of using factory machine tools to produce these products. The engineer must then break down the assembly into parts for fabrication, and must communicate this information clearly to the production team. The engineer will also lead or participate in projects and process improvements.

Example projects include managing the installation and deployment of new equipment, developing optimal process parameters for machinery, or using software to facilitate automation of processes or repetitive tasks. The engineer will often become an expert on a specific process, and will be responsible for keeping up to date with the latest technological developments in this arena.

This position does not directly supervise staff but may assist in the training of new or lesser skilled Engineers.
