Manufacturing Engineer
Intelliswift An LTTS Company · Seattle, Washington, United States
FULL TIMEpermanent
Job Description
Pay rate range- $60/hr. - $65/hr.Fully Onsite
All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.
Job Description: Must Have:3+ years of manufacturing experience with exposure to multiple processesStrong knowledge of at least two manufacturing modalities (additive manufacturing, CNC machining, welding, sheet metal fabrication, or assembly)Proficiency with 3D CAD software and manufacturing preparation toolsDemonstrated ability to read and interpret technical drawings and GD&TStrong analytical skills for cost estimation and capacity planning
Client seeks an Application Engineer to serve as the technical bridge between customers and manufacturing operations across all our manufacturing capabilities. You will own the customer quoting process, production planning, and design for manufacturability (DFM) consultation for projects spanning additive manufacturing, CNC machining, welding, sheet metal fabrication, powder coating, and assembly. This role requires broad technical knowledge of multiple manufacturing processes and the ability to translate customer requirements into executable production plans.
Key Responsibilities:Customer Engagement and QuotingReview customer requirements and technical drawings to assess project feasibility across all manufacturing modalitiesGenerate accurate quotes including material costs, labor estimates, and lead times for complex multi-process projectsProvide design for manufacturability (DFM) feedback to optimize parts for additive manufacturing, CNC machining, welding, sheet metal fabrication, and assemblyRecommend optimal manufacturing processes based on part geometry, tolerances, materials, cost, and lead time requirementsCollaborate with customers to refine designs and specificationsSupport Customer Success team with technical expertise during customer interactions
Production Planning and SchedulingPrepare manufacturing files including 3D printing build prep, CNC programming coordination, and sheet metal nestingPlan and schedule jobs across multiple manufacturing processes to optimize throughput and meet delivery commitmentsConduct capacity planning to balance customer demand with available manufacturing resources across all departmentsEstimate labor requirements for machining, printing, welding, fabrication, coating, post-processing, and assembly operationsCoordinate with CNC programming team to manage programming capacity and lead timesWork with manufacturing managers on production priorities and resource allocation
Technical AnalysisAnalyze part geometry to determine optimal manufacturing approach (additive vs. subtractive, hybrid processes)Evaluate material selection across metals, plastics, and composites for different manufacturing processesIdentify potential manufacturing challenges and recommend design modificationsAssess trade-offs between cost, quality, lead time, and manufacturing complexitySupport continuous improvement initiatives to reduce costs and improve efficiency
Cross-Functional CollaborationPartner with Additive Manufacturing Manager and Subtractive Manufacturing Manager to ensure smooth transition from quote to productionWork with quality engineers on inspection requirements and first article approvalsCoordinate multi-process workflows for hybrid projects requiring 3D printing, machining, welding, coating, and assemblySupport Business Development with technical assessments for new capabilities and technologiesCollaborate with CNC programmers on manufacturability and programming feasibility
Qualifications: xzbcwsv Required3+ years of manufacturing experience with exposure to multiple processesStrong knowledge of at least two manufacturing modalities (additive manufacturing, CNC machining, welding, sheet metal fabrication, or assembly)Proficiency with 3D CAD software and manufacturing preparation toolsDemonstrated ability to read and interpret technical drawings and GD&TStrong analytical skills for cost estimation and capacity planning
Preferred:5+ years of manufacturing experience across multiple modalities (3D printing, CNC machining, welding, sheet metal, coating, assembly)Experience in contract manufacturing or customer-facing technical rolesFamiliarity with design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) principlesKnowledge of CNC programming and CAM software (Mastercam, ESPRIT, or similar)Understanding of welding processes, sheet metal fabrication techniques, and surface finishingProject management experience with multiple concurrent projectsProficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar)Strong verbal and written communication skills for customer interactions
