About the position
The Manufacturing Engineer at Doosan Bobcat will play a crucial role in enhancing manufacturing processes and systems. This position involves working closely with manufacturing, engineering, and purchasing departments to leverage knowledge of methods and materials in specialized fields or general manufacturing. The primary goal is to optimize cost and quality across various manufacturing operations. The engineer will conduct process analysis, focusing on time and motion studies, methods, estimating, process engineering, and plant layout to ensure that manufacturing methods are balanced and that capacity is available to meet customer demand. In this role, the Manufacturing Engineer will implement factory manufacturing processes, systems, equipment, and materials, taking into account associated costs, time, ergonomics, quality, and quantity factors. The engineer will also assist in recommending changes, collecting information for capital justifications, and participating in the design and development of new manufacturing processes, systems, equipment, and materials. This contribution is vital for achieving both short- and long-term economic objectives for the assigned area. Additionally, the Manufacturing Engineer will be responsible for writing and distributing manufacturing changes and associated operating work instructions to all affected personnel on the shop floor. Training operators on product and process changes is also a key responsibility. The engineer will assist in the installation of new equipment and help train employees in its proper use. Tracking submitted requisitions and purchase orders, as well as updating routings and Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) under the direction of the manager, are also part of the job responsibilities. The role requires strong problem-solving skills, as the engineer will produce, publish, and vault complete documentation for all tools, review engineering designs for estimating tool and manufacturing costs, and identify design changes that maximize economical manufacturing. Preparing justifications and making recommendations for the procurement of new machines and equipment is also expected, along with assisting with installation and training employees in the proper use of the equipment.
