Remote Manufacturing Engineer Role – Empowering Innovation from Anywhere

About the Role

Do you enjoy solving complex problems and reimagining how things are made from your workspace? We’re seeking a seasoned Remote Manufacturing Engineer ready to bring fresh thinking, precision, and a hands-on mindset to every challenge. This role offers a unique chance to play a key part in shaping more innovative production systems and supporting product development from wherever you are most productive.

As a valued team member, you’ll be free to optimize workflows, enhance production efficiency, and contribute directly to process innovations. This isn’t just a technical post — it’s an opportunity to influence primary operations, reduce waste, and contribute to a more agile and sustainable manufacturing approach.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Process Optimization

• Design, assess, and improve manufacturing processes for greater productivity and reliability.
• Pinpoint areas for improvement using Lean principles and problem-solving frameworks.
• Recommend changes backed by data and help turn those insights into meaningful outcomes.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with colleagues across design, QA, and operations to ensure everything fits together smoothly.
• Share updates and insights in real time through virtual syncs and project platforms.
• Be a trusted resource for technical guidance, helping remote teams stay aligned and agile.

Quality and Compliance

• Make sure all systems meet industry and internal quality standards.
• Track performance metrics, investigate root causes when issues arise, and help implement smarter fixes.
• Support digital audits and documentation for regulatory requirements and certifications.

Digital Manufacturing Leadership

• Use modern CAD and CAM tools to simulate, test, and refine process designs.
• Contribute to digital-first strategies, including innovative factory initiatives and IoT connectivity.
• Help manage vendor communications and remote production planning through cloud platforms.

Work Environment

This is a fully remote role that gives you the freedom to apply your expertise without being tied to a specific location. How you approach challenges matters most — with ownership, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit. Our team is built around mutual respect, shared problem-solving, and a digital-first culture that encourages innovation and autonomy.

From fine-tuning layouts via virtual whiteboards to participating in weekly strategy sessions online, your impact will be deeply felt. You’ll have the support and independence to bring your best work forward daily.

Tools and Technologies

You’ll have access to advanced platforms that enable seamless engineering and coordination across time zones:

• 3D modeling and CAD platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD)
• Simulation and scenario testing software (e.g., Tecnomatix, FlexSim)
• Production management systems (ERP and MES)
• Real-time collaboration tools (e.g., Slack, Miro, MS Teams)
• IoT-enabled analytics and dashboards
• Version tracking for design and process documentation

These tools help you stay connected and accurate, whether collaborating with local vendors or contributing to global projects.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering
• At least 4 years of hands-on experience in production engineering or process development
• Solid background in digital tools and systems used in modern manufacturing
• Experience working in distributed teams or remote engineering environments
• Firm grasp of materials, tooling, and cost-efficiency analysis
• Strong ability to communicate clearly and effectively across digital platforms, especially in cross-functional, virtual environments
• Background working with compliance frameworks and data-driven process improvement methods

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Engineering, Industrial Systems, or similar
• Professional credentials in areas like operational efficiency, project oversight, or Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE)
• Familiarity with robotics, automation systems, or remote diagnostics
• Past involvement with international or multi-site plant operations

Growth Opportunities

This role opens the door to meaningful professional growth. You’ll be encouraged to lead on projects, develop strategic skills, and help shape the next generation of manufacturing practices. Some of the growth paths include:

• Leading transformation initiatives that improve remote production
• Bringing sustainable methods into core engineering processes
• Mentoring junior team members and sharing technical expertise
• Participating in industry-wide forums and innovation programs
• Advancing into roles such as Remote Manufacturing Lead or Technical Project Manager

We’re here to support your career, not just your current position.

Impact and Mission

Everything we do is tied to the bigger picture: more intelligent systems, sustainable outcomes, and faster responses to evolving needs. As a Remote Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll play a central role in helping operations run smoothly while contributing to a greener and more efficient future.

You’ll help transform how things are made — and make a positive difference while doing it.

Compensation

This position offers an annual salary of $115,864, reflecting the expertise and dedication required. Performance-based bonuses and opportunities for skill-building support are also included.
