FUNCTION:
Manufacturing engineers support and take technical ownership of one or more production areas (CNC Machining, Fabrication & Welding, Powdercoat & Anodizing, Assembly, Wire Harnesses). Technical ownership is demonstrated foremost by designing and improving processes to facilitate growth but can only be sustained by building relationships with production team members. Successful manufacturing engineers at Protomet are curious and relentless problem solvers who spend the majority of the workday on the manufacturing floor, not at a desk.

Implement or foster one 2 second improvement (fix what bugs you) every day and document by photo or video
Identify, purchase and implement one significant piece of technology or equipment per year
Critique manufacturability and advocate for internal customers during the design and prototype phases of new projects. Document any issues or improvements and send changes to the design team within 3 days of each preproduction build
Plan and implement 6+ improvement or process design projects per year that each require 40+ hours of work
Film operations in all cells or lines in your production area, analyze for improvements and rank each by payoff within the first 6 months on the job

COMPETENCIES:
Cultural
Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates its collective character with the following traits:
Second Mile - The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth.
Dont Touch the Marshmallow - This references the famous psychological experiment studying the strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.
Abundance Mindset - Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead grow the pie. Example is a new A player on your team an asset or a threat?
Skills Beat Credentials - What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone wont get you anywhere at Protomet.
Thats HardGood - Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but its possible, and were getting better at it.
