Original job description

The Opportunity:

I’m partnering with an established, highly technical niche component manufacturer located in Southwestern Ontario. Operating out of clean, modern facilities, they deliver high-precision engineering solutions for global clients across demanding industrial sectors.

They’re looking to hire a Senior Manufacturing Engineer / Engineering Manager to drive manufacturing process optimization, automation implementation, and technical leadership. This is an on-site, technical role suited for a versatile, self-directed engineer who thrives in high-mix environments - leading custom automation projects and solving complex manufacturing process challenges.

What You'll Be Doing:

Performing process optimization, equipment qualification, and continuous improvement on high-precision component manufacturing lines
Designing, implementing, and optimizing flexible automation solutions
Integrating and troubleshooting automated vision inspection systems and assembly equipment to eliminate manual processes and ensure product quality
Utilizing 3D CAD software (SolidWorks) and 2D drafting (AutoCAD) to design workstations, assembly equipment, robotic tooling, fixtures, and material handling systems
Leading manufacturing engineering projects from initial concept through design, installation, debug, and full production stabilization
Partnering with Production, Quality, Product Development, and Health & Safety departments to resolve process bottlenecks and enforce safe operational standards
Documenting engineering changes, establishing standard work instructions, and providing technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineering staff
Managing project deliverables independently with minimal direction while maintaining clear cross-functional communication and quick execution timelines

What You'll Need to Be Successful:

Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Process Engineering, or Robotics & Automation
Minimum 5 to 10 years of progressive hands-on manufacturing engineering experience in high-volume or high-precision production environments
Strong technical expertise in automation, robotics, PLC concepts, sensors, and vision inspection technologies
Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks) and 2D drafting (AutoCAD) for fixture, tooling, and equipment design
Proven track record of independently managing engineering projects from concept through to final validation using root-cause analysis
Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a collaborative, safety-first mindset and a drive to build efficient processes

Compensation Range: $100,000 - $120,000
