Are you a hands-on Mechanical Engineer who learns quickly, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants to make a direct impact in a manufacturing environment? Morgan Advanced Materials is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support production, improve equipment and processes, and help develop practical, sustainable solutions. Prior metals experience is not required. We are looking for a strong mechanical foundation, curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to learn our specialized processes quickly.

As a key member of our engineering team, you will collaborate closely with Production, Quality, R&D, Maintenance, and Supply Chain partners to improve manufacturing performance, troubleshoot technical issues, support equipment and process development, and implement sustainable improvements across operations.

• ◆Lead hands-on troubleshooting and improvement initiatives for manufacturing equipment, tooling, and processes.
• ◆Apply engineering fundamentals and structured experimentation to optimize processes, improve yields, and reduce variation.
• ◆Support the design, development, and improvement of production equipment, tooling, fixtures, and finished assemblies.
• ◆Monitor process performance, quality metrics, equipment reliability, and production yields; use data to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
• ◆Perform root cause investigations, equipment and process failure analysis, and corrective action follow-through.
• ◆Evaluate mechanical performance through testing, measurement, data analysis, and direct observation on the manufacturing floor.
• ◆Develop and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), process flows, work instructions, specifications, and engineering documentation.
• ◆Use Statistical Process Control (SPC), capability analysis, or other data-driven methods to monitor and improve process performance.
• ◆Provide technical guidance related to mechanical systems, equipment, tooling, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid systems, and manufacturing methods.
• ◆Partner with R&D, Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Supply Chain teams to support business objectives, capital projects, and new product introductions.
• ◆Support operators and technicians through training, coaching, clear work instructions, and hands-on technical leadership.
• ◆Drive Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and reliability initiatives focused on safety, productivity, quality, delivery, and cost reduction.
• ◆Manage multiple engineering projects simultaneously while maintaining timelines, deliverables, and clear communication with stakeholders.

• ✓Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
• ✓Strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles and the ability to apply them to unfamiliar equipment, processes, and manufacturing challenges.
• ✓Demonstrated ability to learn quickly, ask effective questions, independently research technical topics, and translate new knowledge into practical solutions.
• ✓Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, including experience conducting root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions.
• ✓Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to operators, technicians, engineers, and business partners.
• ✓Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment while managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
• ✓Strong organizational, project management, and follow-through skills.

• ✓Hands-on manufacturing engineering experience supporting production equipment, tooling, fixtures, or process improvement.
• ✓Experience with mechanical design, equipment troubleshooting, fabrication methods, automation, heat transfer, fluid systems, or industrial equipment.
• ✓Experience using CAD software and interpreting engineering drawings, tolerances, and technical specifications.
• ✓Experience with Design of Experiments (DOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Continuous Improvement.
