Manufacturing Engineer II, Powertrain (BIW)

The Manufacturing Engineer – Enclosure (BIW Expertise) will support the development, launch, and optimization of Powertrain Enclosure manufacturing processes at our Arizona facility. The ideal candidate will bring strong Body in White (BIW) equipment and process knowledge, combined with hands-on experience in CMM operations and sealant dispense systems to ensure high-quality, repeatable production of structural enclosure components.

You Will: 

• Lead process development and continuous improvement efforts for Enclosure assembly lines using BIW methodologies.
• Develop and optimize joining, fastening, and sealing processes using automation, robotics, and dispense systems.
• Support installation and commissioning of Enclosure manufacturing equipment, including fixtures and automation systems.
• Manage line readiness activities including documentation, operator training, and station validation.
• Apply Body in White process knowledge to solve structural and dimensional challenges in enclosure assembly.
• Coordinate with product engineering, quality, and operations teams for New Product Introductions (NPIs).
• Develop process quality control plans and conduct PFMEAs and root cause analysis (8D, Six Sigma, DOE).
• Use CMM systems and measurement data to validate and maintain dimensional quality across enclosure assemblies.
• Validate and tune sealant dispense paths for manual and automated systems ensuring proper coverage and repeatability.
• Contribute to factory layout optimization, ergonomics, and throughput enhancements for enclosure lines.
• Support data collection and analytics to evaluate OEE, cycle time, and line balance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure safety, quality, delivery, and cost goals are met.

You Bring:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or STEM Degree
• 2+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, BIW, or assembly process development in automotive or similar industries.
• Hands-on experience with Body in White equipment, joining processes, and structural assemblies.
• Experience with CMM systems and the interpretation of dimensional reports for quality validation.
• Proficiency with sealant dispense systems in both manual and robotic applications.
• Working knowledge of process quality tools including PFMEA, control plans, 8D, Six Sigma, and DOE.
• Familiarity with manufacturing equipment automation, PLCs, and I/O systems.
• Skilled in AutoCAD and 3D modeling tools; Catia experience preferred.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills.
• Willingness to be hands-on and work onsite at the Arizona manufacturing facility.
