Manufacturing Engineer - New Graduate

Manufacturing Engineer – New Graduate

Position Summary

We are looking for a motivated Manufacturing Engineer – New Graduate to join our Engineering team. This is an entry-level opportunity designed for a recent Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering graduate with 0–2 years of experience who is interested in developing a career in manufacturing engineering, process design, and automation.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer and plant teams, gaining hands-on exposure to quoting and advanced engineering (process design, cycle time, tooling and capital cost estimating, automation) and Continuous Improvement (CI) activities within the manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

· Support the Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer with new business quoting and manufacturing feasibility activities.

· Assist in reviewing customer drawings, specifications, and technical requirements.

· Support process design for new programs, including manufacturing concepts, operation sequencing, and preliminary process plans.

· Assist with process flow development, equipment requirements, tooling concepts, and manufacturing layouts.

· Develop cycle time estimates for manual, machine, and automated operations, and translate them into labor and equipment requirements for quotations.

· Prepare tooling and capital equipment cost estimates (fixtures, dies, gauges, robotic cells) and support capital justification for new programs.

· Support automation projects (robotic welding, material handling, vision/inspection, error-proofing) from concept and cost-benefit analysis through runoff.

· Work with Engineering, Production, Quality, and other plant teams on manufacturing improvement initiatives.

· Support Continuous Improvement (CI) activities focused on productivity, efficiency, quality, and waste reduction.

· Assist with troubleshooting manufacturing and process issues on the plant floor.

· Participate in process trials, validation activities, and implementation of new or improved manufacturing processes.

· Collect and analyze manufacturing data, including actual vs. quoted cycle times, to identify improvement opportunities.

· Support documentation of manufacturing processes, work instructions, process flows, and engineering changes.

· Participate in cross-functional projects and learn the complete manufacturing process from initial quote through production launch.

Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

· Recent graduate or 0–2 years of relevant experience in manufacturing, engineering, co-op, internship, or similar technical environments.

· Strong interest in manufacturing engineering, process design, cost estimating, automation, and Continuous Improvement.

· Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation.

· Basic understanding of manufacturing processes, cycle time, and tooling/capital cost drivers.

· Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

· Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.

· Exposure to CAD software such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar tools is considered an asset.

· Exposure to automation, robotics, PLCs, or robot simulation tools through coursework, capstone projects, or co-op is considered an asset.

· Previous co-op, internship, or project experience within a manufacturing environment is considered an asset.

· Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

· Self-motivated, curious, and eager to learn in a hands-on manufacturing environment.
