Job Description

Overview

We’re hiring a Manufacturing Engineer with 5+ years of experience to help us develop, implement, and optimize cost-effective manufacturing processes at our Maryville facility. Our plant relies on precision and efficiency to deliver world-class products—particularly within injection molding and assembly operations. We’re looking for a highly analytical, hands-on problem solver to elevate our operations.

This is an ownership-driven opportunity for an engineer who thrives on managing the complete lifecycle of manufacturing processes with minimal supervision. One day you might be researching material flow and cooling paths for complex injection molding dies, and the next you’re modifying MasterCAM solid models, coordinating a new product launch, or validating mold designs with external suppliers.

As you grow, so will your impact. You’ll lead critical cost-reduction and continuous improvement projects, champion lean principles, and collaborate cross-functionally with everyone from Product Engineering to Quality and Purchasing. We are a team-oriented environment that values autonomy, technical expertise, and results.

If you are excited by taking the lead on complex projects and making things better every day, we want to talk.
