‍Responsibilities‍

The Precision Meso-scale Technology Center (PMTC) exists to provide high precision mechanical solutions that enable the capabilities of Keysight’s industry leading electronic measurement equipment. As a manufacturing engineer you will develop and sustain manufacturing processes utilizing cutting edge technologies to achieve micron level tolerances in precision machining, specifically turning.

We are seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to support our precision machining operations, with emphasis on CNC Swiss Turning processes. This role is heavily focused on day-to-day shop floor support, working directly with operators and machines to solve production challenges, reduce downtime, and drive continuous improvement. This is not a research, management, or desk-only position—success requires practical machining knowledge, process troubleshooting, and strong collaboration with production staff.

Responsibilities

As a manufacturing engineer your duties will focus on manufacturing processes of machining (Swiss-type turning), deburring, cleaning, and inspection.

• Provide real-time troubleshooting and technical support on the production floor for CNC Swiss and conventional turning machines.
• Develop and maintain setup documentation, work instructions, and process sheets.
• Optimize machining processes for cycle time, tool life, quality, and cost.
• Collaborate with operators to address daily challenges in tooling, setups, and dimensional control.
• Support new product introductions, including process development, machine setup, and first-article documentation.
• Lead root cause analysis of production issues and implement effective corrective actions.
• Partner with quality and programming teams to ensure part conformity and efficient production flow
• Continuous improvement utilizing Lean Tools to analyze and optimize manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, reduce cycle times, and minimize waste and defects.
• Maintain a commitment to safe working environment and ensuring compliance with all relevant safety regulations.

Qualifications

• Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.  A Master’s degree is a plus.

• A minimum of 3-5+ years of applicable experience in precision machining, manufacturing and design (part design, product design, and/or process design).Direct, hands-on experience in a machining environment (shop floor process engineering, setup support, or machine troubleshooting).

• Proficiency in developing and improving machining processes for Swiss turning operations, including CNC programming and related tooling.

• Solid modeling or 3D CAD proficiency (Solidworks, Creo, Autocad, etc)

• Proficiency in interpreting and applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards.

• Experience implementing Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, and PDCA methodologies to enhance production processes and minimize defects.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to troubleshoot technical issues and devise effective solutions in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, to include the ability to communicate technical information clearly to non-technical colleagues.

‍

‍

Strong documentation skills with the ability to create clear, practical work instructions.

• Ability to work in and/or lead diverse cross-functional teams

• Strong mechanical aptitude

• Excellent organizational and project management skills
• Ability to prioritize day to day activities balancing immediate needs with long term project goals
