As a Manufacturing Engineering Manager at Koch Inc., you will lead and supervise our Manufacturing Engineering department, drive research-oriented process improvements, and oversee all facets of facility operations to ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective production.
Our Team
You’ll join the Operations & Engineering division—a collaborative group of process, mechanical, and industrial engineers working alongside R&D, production, quality, maintenance and supply-chain partners. Together, we champion continuous improvement, operational excellence and innovation across our global manufacturing footprint.
What You Will Do
Develop, evaluate and champion manufacturing R&D proposals—defining objectives, cost estimates, applications and expected ROI—to secure funding and propel new initiatives. Establish robust project-tracking methods (expenditure records, progress reports, cross-functional reviews) that keep leadership informed and projects on schedule. Negotiate and manage vendor contracts for automation, tooling, fabrication and related services, ensuring best-value solutions that meet technical requirements. Mentor, coach and grow a high-performing team of engineers and technicians, fostering a culture of safety, collaboration and continuous learning. Oversee facility projects and maintenance programs—from budgeting and scheduling to execution—to maintain optimal production environments. Coordinate patent-liaison activities with legal partners to protect and leverage our innovations.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering (or closely related field). 5+ years of progressive experience in manufacturing engineering, including supervisory or managerial responsibility. Demonstrated ability to analyze technical/financial data and make recommendations that balance cost, quality and timeline. Strong written and verbal communication skills; adept at presenting complex information to stakeholders at all levels. Proven problem-solving aptitude, with the ability to define issues, collect and interpret data, and draw sound conclusions.
What Will Put You Ahead
Master’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration or related discipline. Hands-on experience managing Tool & Die operations, including maintenance planning and resource allocation. Prior involvement in patent applications and liaison work with external legal firms. Lean, Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt) or similar continuous-improvement certification.
Track record of successful vendor negotiations and strategic sourcing in an industrial setting.
