Manufacturing Jobs in Texas

Job description:

This is not a desk engineering role. This is where engineering meets reality.

At Triple/S Dynamics, this role owns the gap between design and production, ensuring that what gets engineered can actually be built efficiently, correctly, and repeatedly.

You will be on the floor, working with fabricators, assemblers, and vendors to eliminate problems, improve processes, and drive manufacturability into every job.

This role replaces a long-tenured problem solver who knew how to make things work. This role will build that capability into a repeatable, high-performance system.

If you are the type of engineer who sees a bad process and fixes it immediately, you will thrive here.

What You'll Own

• Ensuring engineering designs are fully manufacturable before release

• Acting as the technical bridge between engineering and the shop floor

• Working with vendors to solve fabrication and assembly issues in real time, not documenting them later

• Driving reduction in rework, delays, and production inefficiencies

• Creating and maintaining clear, usable shop documentation

• Improving workflows across assembly, paint, and test

• Developing tooling, fixtures, and methods that make production easier and faster

• Leading root cause analysis and ensuring issues do not repeat

• Supporting production teams with practical, hands-on problem solving

• Driving continuous improvement across manufacturing operations

What Success Looks Like

• Drawings released to the floor are buildable without confusion or rework

• Production issues are resolved same-day whenever possible

• Measurable reduction in rework, delays, and fabrication errors

• Shop teams trust engineering because solutions are practical and usable

• Processes improve over time, not reset with each job

• Tooling and workflows increase throughput and reduce frustration

• Problems are permanently solved, not repeatedly revisited

Must-Haves

• Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering

• 3+ years in manufacturing or production engineering

• Strong understanding of fabrication processes (welding, machining, forming, assembly)

• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and weld symbols

• Hands-on problem-solving mindset in a production environment

Strong Differentiators

• Experience in heavy equipment or capital equipment manufacturing

• Experience working directly with shop floor teams

• Conveyor or bulk material handling equipment familiarity

• Experience improving manufacturability, not just supporting it

• ERP/MRP and production documentation experience

Culture & Environment

• Low bureaucracy, high ownership

• You will not be micromanaged, but you will be expected to deliver

• Problems are yours to solve, not escalate indefinitely

• Clarity is not always given, you must create it

• This is not a fit for someone who prefers theoretical engineering over practical execution, avoids direct interaction with production teams, or needs perfect information before acting
