Xico Lighting is hiring: Manufacturing Engineer in Mishawum

Overview

Manufacturing Engineer – Xico Lighting (Engineering Team)

Help Us Build World-Class Lighting, Smarter and Better Every Day.

At Xico Lighting, we create innovative, high-performance architectural lighting systems that blend cutting-edge optics, advanced LED technology, and beautiful design. As part of the 3LED Group, we’re growing rapidly and investing in our in-house design, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities.

We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer to join our Engineering Team, with a focus on practical process improvements, assembly operations, and industrial engineering best practices. This is a hands-on, problem-solving role where you’ll collaborate closely with both engineering and production to ensure our products are built to the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and scalability.

Why This Role Matters:

Our success depends on how well we design AND how well we build. This role sits at the heart of that mission – ensuring that Xico’s lighting products are designed for manufacturability and produced with reliable, repeatable, and efficient processes. You’ll make a real impact by improving workflows, introducing lean practices, and helping scale operations as we grow.

What You’ll Do

• Own and improve assembly processes, ensuring safety, quality, and efficiency.
• Work closely with product design engineers to ensure new products are easy and cost-effective to manufacture.
• Develop work instructions, process documentation, and production tooling/fixtures to support assembly teams.
• Lead continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives, including layout optimization, takt time improvements, and cost reduction projects.
• Analyze process flow, cycle times, and yields to identify and remove bottlenecks.
• Provide hands-on technical support on the production floor, solving day-to-day challenges with the assembly and operations teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of practical experience in manufacturing or industrial engineering, preferably with electromechanical or lighting/fixture products.
• Strong background in assembly operations, process flow design, and lean manufacturing techniques.
• Hands-on experience with fixtures, tooling, and production equipment.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively with production, operations, and design engineering teams.
• A proactive, practical mindset – someone who enjoys being on the shop floor as much as working on process design.

What We Offer

• A key role within Xico’s Engineering Team, shaping the way our products are built as we scale rapidly.
• The opportunity to see your work make an immediate difference on our production floor.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and room for advancement into senior engineering or operations leadership roles.
• A collaborative, hands-on culture where bright minds make light work.
