How do they match: Manufacturing Engineers

  • Product Manufacturing Engineer

  • Design, integrate, or improve manufacturing systems or related processes. May work with commercial or industrial designers to refine product designs to increase producibility and decrease costs.

  • Supervise technicians, technologists, analysts, administrative staff, or other engineers.
  • Analyze the financial impacts of sustainable manufacturing processes or sustainable product manufacturing.
  • Communicate manufacturing capabilities, production schedules, or other information to facilitate production processes.
  • Design tests of finished products or process capabilities to establish standards or validate process requirements.
  • Estimate costs, production times, or staffing requirements for new designs.
  • Evaluate manufactured products according to specifications and quality standards.
  • Identify opportunities or implement changes to improve manufacturing processes or products or to reduce costs, using knowledge of fabrication processes, tooling and production equipment, assembly methods, quality control standards, or product design, materials and parts.
  • Incorporate new manufacturing methods or processes to improve existing operations.
  • Investigate or resolve operational problems, such as material use variances or bottlenecks.
  • Redesign packaging for manufactured products to minimize raw material use or waste.
  • Review product designs for manufacturability or completeness.
  • Train production personnel in new or existing methods.
  • Troubleshoot new or existing product problems involving designs, materials, or processes.

  • Supervise production or support personnel.
  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Assess product or process usefulness.
  • Confer with technical personnel to prepare designs or operational plans.
  • Create graphical representations of industrial production systems.
  • Determine operational methods.
  • Determine causes of operational problems or failures.
  • Develop operational methods or processes that use green materials or emphasize sustainability.
  • Estimate operational costs.
  • Estimate technical or resource requirements for development or production projects.
  • Estimate time requirements for development or production projects.
  • Install production equipment or systems.
  • Prepare operational reports.
  • Resolve operational performance problems.
  • Train personnel on proper operational procedures.
