Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Engineer
Location: South Florida
Compensation: $90,000 – $120,000 base salary + bonus + Relocation Package

About the Role: This is a manufacturing engineering role with a growing equipment manufacturer building complex products for commercial, industrial, and mission critical environments. The right person will focus on how the product is built: process flow, tooling, work instructions, plant layout, routings, labor standards, and continuous improvement.

This is a strong fit for someone who likes being on the production floor, finding bottlenecks, improving how work gets done, and helping a factory build with more consistency, speed, and efficiency. HVAC experience is not required; real manufacturing process experience is what matters most.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Improve manufacturing processes tied to fabrication, assembly, tooling, materials, workflow, and production efficiency.
• Perform time studies, cycle time analysis, line balancing, labor estimates, and process improvement work.
• Develop and improve plant layouts, work centers, routings, standard hours, and ERP/JDE manufacturing data.
• Create and maintain work instructions, SOPs, process documentation, and training materials for production teams.
• Support tooling, jigs, fixtures, and other manufacturing methods that improve quality, consistency, and output.
• Partner with production, quality, engineering, maintenance, and management to reduce waste and improve throughput.
• Use lean manufacturing tools such as 5S, Kaizen, value stream mapping, PFMEA, SMED, and poka-yoke.
• Help evaluate equipment, vendors, maintenance needs, production costs, staffing requirements, and future manufacturing capacity.

About You:

• 5+ years of manufacturing engineering, process engineering, or industrial engineering experience in a production environment.
• Experience improving manufacturing processes on a real production floor is required.
• Background in industrial machinery, automotive, aerospace, defense, appliances, electronics, metal fabrication, or similar manufacturing environments.
• Strong knowledge of lean manufacturing, process improvement, time studies, line balancing, routings, and work instructions.
• Comfortable working directly with operators, supervisors, engineers, quality, maintenance, and production leadership.
• Able to turn floor observations into practical process improvements, cost reductions, and better production flow.
• Experience with ERP systems, CAD/CAM, Microsoft Office, and manufacturing documentation.
• Degree or diploma in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.

What We Offer:

• Performance-based bonus opportunity.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Health, dental, and vision benefits.
• Relocation support available for the right candidate.
• Opportunity to improve a real manufacturing operation with direct impact on production output and efficiency.
• Hands-on role working closely with production, engineering, quality, maintenance, and plant leadership.
• Strong platform to apply lean manufacturing and process improvement in a growing factory environment.
