How do they match: Manufacturing Engineers

  • 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.

  • Communicate manufacturing capabilities, production schedules, or other information to facilitate production processes.
  • Design layout of equipment or workspaces to achieve maximum efficiency.
  • Design tests of finished products or process capabilities to establish standards or validate process requirements.
  • Design, install, or troubleshoot manufacturing equipment.
  • Determine root causes of failures or recommend changes in designs, tolerances, or processing methods, using statistical procedures.
  • Estimate costs, production times, or staffing requirements for new designs.
  • 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.
  • Review product designs for manufacturability or completeness.
  • Troubleshoot new or existing product problems involving designs, materials, or processes.

  • Design industrial equipment.
  • Design industrial processing systems.
  • Analyze costs and benefits of proposed designs or projects.
  • Confer with technical personnel to prepare designs or operational plans.
  • Evaluate designs or specifications to ensure quality.
  • Implement design or process improvements.
  • Recommend technical design or process changes to improve efficiency, quality, or performance.
