The position works with Production, Quality Assurance, Manufacturing Planning, and other teams to improve manufacturing capability, product quality, throughput, reliability, productivity, and process consistency.A central responsibility is developing and improving manufacturing quality processes and controls, especially for plumbing, electrical, and other work that becomes concealed during later construction stages. The manager develops procedures, verification methods, tools, hold points, and documentation requirements so required work and checks are completed and recorded before production advances. Changes must remain consistent with DreamBuild’s State of Texas approved Quality Assurance Manual, approved building systems, and applicable production requirements.\nEssential Duties and Responsibilities\nManufacturing Engineering and Process Development\nEvaluate safety and environmental risks when developing or changing production methods, workflows, materials, and process controls; incorporate practical safeguards into standardized work and operating procedures.\nAnalyze production methods and develop improved workflows, standardized work, process specifications, controls, and operating procedures for volumetric modular construction.\nEvaluate capacity, production flow, cycle times, utilization, bottlenecks, labor requirements, material movement, variation, and rework using industrial engineering methods.\nDevelop and implement engineering solutions that improve throughput, productivity, quality, reliability, safety, and cost effectiveness.\nEstablish operating parameters and measurable performance criteria for new and existing manufacturing processes; evaluate proposed changes to methods, materials, tooling, equipment, and production sequence with affected functions.Manufacturing Equipment Tooling and Technology\n• Identify opportunities to improve operations through equipment, tools, fixtures, automation, testing equipment, and production technology.\nAssess equipment and tooling for safe operation, ergonomics, guarding, maintenance access, and environmental impact during selection and implementation; verify that required safeguards are in place before production use.\nWork with personnel responsible for environmental health and safety to address safety concerns identified during installation, commissioning, or operation of manufacturing equipment.\nDevelop technical and operational requirements based on safety, process capability, quality, ergonomics, capacity, and expected performance; participate in technical evaluation and selection.\nLead implementation, installation, integration, commissioning, validation, and production readiness of new or modified equipment and manufacturing processes.\nDevelop operating procedures, training requirements, acceptance criteria, and performance measures; monitor results and address performance gaps after implementation.Manufacturing Quality Systems and Process Controls\n• Develop and improve manufacturing quality procedures, inspection methodologies, verification methods, checklists, quality gates, and hold points in coordination with Quality Assurance.\nDefine objective acceptance criteria and documentation requirements at critical production stages so unverified or nonconforming work does not advance.\nGive particular attention to plumbing and electrical rough-in and other systems that become inaccessible after walls, ceilings, insulation, drywall, or other assemblies are installed.\nDevelop controls that support completion, documentation, and acceptance of required plumbing, electrical, mechanical, framing, and other inspections and tests before concealed work proceeds.\nEvaluate verification tools, testing methods, and process controls; ensure changes remain aligned with the approved Quality Assurance Manual, building systems, and controlled production documents.Continuous Improvement and Operational Performance\n• Lead structured improvement initiatives across manufacturing operations and analyze production and quality data for constraints, defects, variation, excess cycle time, rework, waste, inefficient flow, and equipment limitations.\nInclude safe work methods, equipment precautions, and relevant environmental controls in technical training for new or revised processes and equipment.\nConduct root cause analysis and develop technically sound corrective and preventive actions; implement approved changes and measure their effectiveness.\nDevelop and monitor indicators for quality, throughput, capacity, productivity, process reliability, rework, and defects.\nFacilitate cross functional improvement projects and promote repeatable processes and standardized work across manufactured units.Documentation and Process Control\n• Develop and maintain manufacturing procedures, work instructions, process control documents, checklists, inspection tools, and technical records.\nDevelop methods to capture, organize, retain, and retrieve evidence of inspections, tests, hold points, deviations, corrective actions, and approvals in coordination with Quality Assurance.\nImprove documentation for completeness, usability, traceability, and compliance with applicable document control and retention requirements.\nSupport systems for tracking nonconformances, corrective actions, recurring defects, inspection results, and manufacturing performance.Cross Functional Engineering and Implementation\n• Serve as a technical resource for complex production, process, equipment, quality, and workflow problems.\nCoordinate manufacturing changes with Production, Quality Assurance, Material Planning, and other affected functions.\nWork with vendors and technical service providers to evaluate and implement manufacturing solutions; establish technical requirements, implementation plans, validation criteria, and performance measures.\nProvide technical training on new or revised processes, equipment, tools, procedures, and controls.\nSupport scale up and introduction of new or modified modular housing products by assessing production capability, equipment needs, process controls, and quality requirements.Required Qualifications\n• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.\nProfessional knowledge of manufacturing systems, production processes, process improvement, quality systems, capacity and workflow analysis, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement methods.\nAbility to analyze manufacturing processes, develop sound engineering solutions, and implement procedures, standardized work, process controls, and measurable performance standards.\nAbility to lead cross functional manufacturing engineering projects from problem identification through implementation and validation.Preferred Qualifications\n• Experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering, continuous improvement, or a related engineering function.\nExperience with Lean manufacturing, structured problem solving, process mapping, capacity analysis, standardized work, and equipment or tooling integration.\nExperience in modular construction, building systems, construction manufacturing, or another engineered manufacturing environment.\nFamiliarity with inspection processes, document control, corrective action systems, and manufacturing performance metrics.Authority and Organizational Relationship\nThis position develops and improves manufacturing processes, systems, methods, and controls in close coordination with Production Management and Quality Assurance. It does not supersede the independent inspection, acceptance or rejection, compliance, or stop production authority assigned to Quality Assurance personnel under DreamBuild’s approved Quality Assurance Manual.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8034,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T05:24:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T20:46:44Z","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":4929,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"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":2382657},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2382657"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb"},{"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%2Fcdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb"},{"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%2Fcdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb"},{"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/cdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcdcb-manufacturing-engineering-manager-cdcb"}]}
