Fabrication is seeking a highly experienced and technically
proficient Senior Manufacturing Engineer to lead the design,
control, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes in a
modular fabrication environment. This individual contributor role
focuses on developing scalable, efficient production methods for
custom enclosures, containerized systems, and structural steel
weldments. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in
SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Lean Manufacturing, and quality systems such
as ISO9001. The Senior Manufacturing Engineer will work
cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and
Supply Chain to ensure manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and
regulatory compliance across the product lifecycle. Key
Responsibilities: Design, implement, and optimize manufacturing
processes for modular fabricated systems, containerized enclosures,
and steel structures. Develop formal manufacturing documentation
including process flow diagrams, work instructions, BOMs, routings,
CNC programming, and assembly/inspection plans. Use CAD tools
(SolidWorks and AutoCAD) to design fixtures, tooling, and
work-holding solutions to support scalable production. Translate
engineering design requirements into robust and efficient
production processes. Lead new product introduction (NPI) efforts
from prototype through full-rate production. Apply Lean
Manufacturing principles to reduce waste, improve flow, and
optimize floor layouts. Integrate automated and digital
manufacturing technologies where applicable. Collaborate with
cross-functional teams to evaluate manufacturability and ensure
alignment between engineering intent and production capability.
Utilize ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) to manage process
documentation and support real-time operations visibility. Maintain
compliance with ISO 9001 standards; support internal and external
audits. Drive root cause analysis and corrective action using tools
like FMEA, SPC, and 8D. Mentor technicians and junior engineers in
best practices for manufacturing engineering. Required
Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering,
Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. 8–15 years of
experience in manufacturing engineering, preferably in modular
fabrication, defense, energy, or industrial equipment sectors.
Proficiency in SolidWorks and AutoCAD for 3D modeling, 2D drafting,
and tolerance analysis. Strong working knowledge of Lean
Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies. Experience with
ERP/MRP systems (NetSuite a plus). Demonstrated success in process
development, design for manufacturability, and production scaling.
Hands-on experience with containerization, modular product
platforms, and structural weldments. Knowledge of ISO9001 quality
systems and compliance standards. Exceptional analytical,
problem-solving, and project management skills. Excellent
communication and interpersonal abilities. Preferred
Qualifications: Experience in containerized HVAC, power
distribution, or control system enclosures. Familiarity with CNC
machining, sheet metal fabrication, and industrial coatings.
Certification in Lean Six Sigma, PMP, or related process
improvement disciplines. Experience with CFD/FEA simulation tools.
Working Conditions: This is a full-time onsite position based in
Buffalo, NY. Work takes place in both office and fabrication floor
environments. May require occasional travel to customer sites or
GTI facilities. Must be able to occasionally lift up to 25 lbs and
walk fabrication areas. GTI Fabrication is an equal opportunity
employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive
workplace.
