Manufacturing Engineer Assembly in Eloy

Job DescriptionJob Description

The Manufacturing Engineer supports the electro-mechanical assembly shop at Freeberg’s Eloy, AZ facility as the Engineering department’s on-site representative – the eyes, ears, and support system for both Engineering and Production. The role is responsible for developing, improving, and supporting the assembly processes, lifting and handling methods, tooling, and work instructions that turn fabricated sub-assemblies into finished generator enclosures and integrated electro-mechanical products – including crane and rigging operations, large-assembly fit-up, mechanical and electrical integration, and UL 2200 / customer specification compliance. The Manufacturing Engineer works closely with Production, Project Management, Quality, Purchasing, and the Escondido-based Engineering team to improve safety, quality, productivity, and cost performance through line layout, takt-based line balancing, fixture and lifting-device design, work instruction development, and continuous improvement – identifying assembly and integration issues early and feeding floor-level findings back to Design Engineering.

Qualifications

• Experience planning and running an integration assembly floor for electro-mechanical assemblies (enclosures, controls, wiring, and mechanical sub-assemblies).

• Experience with generator enclosures, power equipment, or similar large integrated products; familiarity with UL 2200, NFPA 37/110, and NEMA/IP enclosure ratings.

• Experience designing or specifying below-the-hook lifting devices, crane plans, and rigging for large assemblies (ASME B30.20, BTH-1).

• Familiarity with electrical assembly practices – wire routing, terminations, grounding/bonding, and UL 508A or similar control panel standards.

• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping, and Continuous Improvement methodologies.
