LinkedIn for manufacturing engineers: a 30-minute fix

Lead with results, not duties. What engineers look at before they reply.

Before an engineer replies, they click your profile. Ten seconds decides whether you’re worth answering.

The 30-minute fix

  1. Headline: what you are plus your best result. “Process Engineer | Cut scrap 60% on a 3-shift stamping line | Lean, SPC, PFMEA”
  2. About: three lines: what you work on, one number you’re proud of, what you want next.
  3. Experience: rewrite duties as results. “Led SMED on two presses: changeover 90 → 35 min.”
  4. Skills: the tools and standards by name (IATF 16949, GD&T, Minitab, SolidWorks).
  5. Photo: clear face. Safety glasses on the floor is fine; it’s your world.
