Full Job Description
The role. We're hiring Manufacturing Engineers to make our factories safer, faster, and more repeatable. You will improve the systems that turn incoming aluminum into accurate, on-time customer shipments: equipment, tooling, layouts, work instructions, data collection, and operator workflows.
This is a floor-first engineering role. You will spend time where the work happens, understand the constraint, test practical improvements, and make sure the new process holds.
You will:
Improve safety, quality, throughput, uptime, and material flow
Study production constraints and turn observations into measurable improvements
Design tooling, fixtures, layouts, and operator workstations
Create and maintain clear work instructions and standard processes
Support equipment selection, installation, commissioning, and ramp-up
Investigate defects, downtime, and missed targets through structured root-cause analysis
Build useful production metrics and verify that improvements deliver results
Partner with operators, maintenance, quality, software, and leadership
Train teams on new processes and incorporate floor feedback
Support production directly when an urgent issue threatens safety or delivery
You are:
Hands-on and happiest solving problems on the factory floor
Committed to safety and unwilling to trade it for speed
Analytical, observant, and disciplined about root causes
Comfortable with drawings, process data, and technical documentation
Able to explain technical changes clearly to operators and leaders
Practical about cost, timing, and implementation
Respectful of operator knowledge and willing to test your assumptions
Organized, dependable, and accountable for results
Nice to have:
Experience with metals, cutting equipment, CNC machinery, or material handling
Experience with CAD, fixtures, controls, or equipment commissioning
Familiarity with Lean methods, statistical process control, or preventive maintenance
Experience connecting production equipment and software systems
Benefits:
Equity in Nox Metals
Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
This role is full time, in person in either Detroit, Michigan, or Los Angeles.
