Job Description

Job Description : We are seeking a Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer to join our team. This role combines process improvement, and floor-level troubleshooting in a fast-paced plastic injection molding environment. The ideal candidate is just as comfortable analyzing data and improving processes as they are getting onto the floor to solve real-time production challenges.

Key Responsibilities

  • Process & Equipment Support

Provide technical support for injection molding machines, auxiliary equipment, and automation.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical, pneumatic, and tooling issues directly on the floor.
  • Assist maintenance and production teams with equipment modifications and repairs.
  • Engineering & Continuous Improvement

  • Develop and implement process improvements to optimize quality, efficiency, and cycle times.
  • Partner with production supervisors and operators to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
  • Conduct time studies, capacity analysis, and cost reduction initiatives.
  • Support new product launches, tooling changes, and engineering trials.
  • Documentation & Compliance

  • Create and maintain work instructions, process documentation, and PM standards.
  • Ensure compliance with OSHA and facility safety policies.
  • Support quality system requirements (PFMEA, control plans, capability studies, etc.)
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with engineering, production, maintenance, and quality teams to align on priorities.
  • Serve as a technical resource for operators and technicians.
  • Provide input on equipment purchases and capital projects.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 3+ years of experience in plastic injection molding or a similar manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of automation, pneumatics, and mechanical systems.
  • Experience with injection molding equipment, tooling, and automation.
  • Proficiency with CAD and Microsoft Office (SolidWorks preferred).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on the floor.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • 3d printing experience is a plus
  • What We're Looking For

  • Someone who thrives in a hands-on role, not just on a computer.
  • A natural problem solver who can balance engineering analysis with real-time shop-floor support
  • An engineer who is eager to get involved with process improvements, troubleshooting, and project work to help the plant run smoothly and grow.
  • ITW is an equal opportunity employer. We value our colleagues' unique perspectives, experiences and ideas and create workplaces where everyone can develop their careers and perform to their full potential. As an equal employment opportunity employer, ITW is committed to equal employment opportunity and fair treatment for employees, beginning with the hiring process and continuing through all aspects of the employment relationship. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, disability, protected Veteran status or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws.
