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.

  • Develop sustainable manufacturing technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize raw material use, replace toxic materials with non-toxic materials, replace non-renewable materials with renewable materials, or reduce waste.
  • 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.
  • Read current literature, talk with colleagues, participate in educational programs, attend meetings or workshops, or participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in the manufacturing field.
  • 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.

  • Develop operational methods or processes that use green materials or emphasize sustainability.
  • Develop technical methods or processes.
  • Analyze operational data to evaluate operations, processes or products.
  • Assess product or process usefulness.
  • Create graphical representations of industrial production systems.
  • Estimate technical or resource requirements for development or production projects.
  • Estimate time requirements for development or production projects.
  • Install production equipment or systems.
  • Supervise production or support personnel.
