Manufacturing Engineer (Colorado Spring, CO)

This role supports and improves manufacturing operations by combining hands-on sustaining support with high-impact cost-reduction projects. This includes analyzing process cost structures and variances, applying value engineering and process optimization, and maintaining master data (BOMs, cost models, and routings). The role delivers cost-benefit analyses for process improvements and equipment investments, implements cost controls and cost tracking, and supports resource planning with product build-time information.

Your role:

• Generate actionable insights into the relationship between processes and costs; advise management and project teams; and resolve moderately complex issues using sound judgement and appropriate analytical methods.

• Apply lean manufacturing principles and Capex optimization to improve processes, tools, and equipment; enable cross-functional knowledge transfer of industrial engineering methods; and collaborate with Manufacturing Engineers, production managers, and stakeholders to drive efficiency without increasing headcount.

• Conduct time studies to build and maintain cost models that break down operation time, material inputs, and cost of non-quality; analyze capacity, identify bottlenecks across ~9 lines, support line balancing, and translate operational data into actionable capacity and cost insights for Manufacturing, Planning, and Finance.

• Coordinate master data management in SAP by partnering with Procurement and Manufacturing Engineering to maintain accurate, current material master data.

• Ensure all components in the active bill of materials (BOM) are correctly costed by performing thorough reviews to confirm the accuracy and completeness of component cost data.

• Define and maintain production-related manufacturing requirements in PDLM; implement design changes across the product lifecycle (LCM); and ensure work instructions and quality control plans align with regulatory, safety, environmental, and company policy requirements.

You're the right fit if:

• You have 4 years of experience with a bachelor's in manufacturing, operations, cost or production engineering, or no experience required with a Master's, ideally in production or manufacturing engineering.

• Your skills include mastery of lean manufacturing methods (Value Stream Mapping, 5S, Kaizen, SMED, TPM), time studies, line-balancing, and industrial engineering tools to optimize capacity and reduce costs.

• You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.

• You are a strong communicator, collaborative team player, and effective at stakeholder management, adaptability, problem-solving, and influencing others in cross-functional settings.
