This role independently owns improvement initiatives, technical problem solving, process optimization, and project execution while partnering with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Engineering, and shop-floor employees to deliver sustainable, measurable results.\n\nPOSITION DESCRIPTION: Identify and execute manufacturing improvements that increase productivity, throughput, quality, safety, and cost performance.\nOwn improvement projects from problem identification through implementation, validation, and sustainment. \nWork directly on the manufacturing floor to solve recurring problems, remove bottlenecks, and improve process flow. \nUse data and structured problem solving to convert improvement opportunities into measurable operational and financial results. \nEXPERIENCE: What you need to be successful\nBachelor's degree in manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field. \nManufacturing experience with hands-on process improvement and problem solving. \nFabrication, machining, CNC, welding, assembly, tooling, or fixtures experience preferred. \nStrong analytical, project management, and communication skills. \nRESPONSIBILITIES:\nOwn the outcome\nTake responsibility for assigned improvements from initial problem definition through implementation and sustained results. Maintain strong follow-through and accountability for commitments, actions, and project deliverables.\nAct with urgency\nMove from analysis to action. Test practical solutions, remove barriers, and maintain momentum while balancing safety, quality, cost, and operational needs.\nCommunicate and collaborate\nWork effectively with operators, supervisors, Maintenance, Quality, Engineering, and leadership. Communicate technical issues clearly, listen to the people doing the work, and build alignment around solutions.\nWork from the floor\nSpend time where the work occurs to understand the current condition, identify root causes, and develop practical solutions that can be implemented and sustained by the operation.\nManufacturing Process Improvement\nEvaluate existing manufacturing processes and implement improvements that increase safety, quality, productivity, throughput, capacity, and cost performance. Identify waste, constraints, variation, and recurring operational issues.\nProject Ownership\nLead manufacturing and Continuous Improvement projects from opportunity identification through implementation, validation, and sustainment. Establish clear objectives, actions, milestones, expected impact, and completion dates.\nTechnical Problem Solving\nLead structured root-cause investigations for manufacturing issues involving equipment, tooling, quality, productivity, labor, or process performance. Develop countermeasures, verify effectiveness, and prevent recurrence.\nFabrication and CNC Optimization\nImprove fabrication, machining, CNC, assembly, and related manufacturing processes through setup reduction, cycle-time improvement, tooling optimization, process refinement, and improved methods.\nTooling, Fixtures and Equipment\nDevelop, modify, and improve tooling, fixtures, equipment, layouts, and manufacturing methods to improve repeatability, ergonomics, flow, quality, and operational performance.\nLabor, Flow and Capacity\nAnalyze labor, production, downtime, throughput, scrap, quality, and capacity data to identify constraints and improvement opportunities. Improve labor utilization, material flow, machine utilization, and available capacity.\nStandard Work and Sustainment\nDevelop and maintain standard work, work instructions, process documentation, and visual controls. Partner with Operations to ensure improvements are practical, consistently followed, and sustained over time.\nCost and Performance Impact\nDevelop business cases, quantify expected impact, track project performance, and validate measurable improvements in productivity, labor efficiency, cost, throughput, equipment utilization, scrap, rework, and process stability.\nOur Benefits\nWe care about and invest in our employees. We are proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support their well-being and foster professional development. Here is a glimpse of what you can look forward to if you join our team.\nCompetitive Benefits Package for employees and their dependents (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability)\n\nIncentive Plans\n\n401(k) with employer contribution and match\n\nEmployee Stock Purchase Plan with employer match\n\nPaid Time Off (Vacation and Sick Time)\n\nPaid Holidays\n\nTuition Reimbursement Program\n\nEmployee Assistance Program (EAP)\n\nWellness Program\n\nTraining and Career Progression\n\nApogee and our brands are an Equal Opportunity Employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4846,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Glass & Ceramics Manufacturing","Construction"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T15:37:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:5","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-06T05:58:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T12:32:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22835,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6232},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6232"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapogee-enterprises-mechanical-engineer-manufacturing"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3688077}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"apog.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3688077},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
