Finance TN Sponsorship Jobs in Nevada

INTRODUCTION

Unimacts Global is a contract manufacturer and total energy solutions provider operating across renewable energy, traditional energy, and diversified industrial markets. Our manufacturing capabilities span structural steel, tubes, piles, complex castings, forgings, and sophisticated engineered systems. With operations across the U.S., EU, and Asia, we manufacture and deliver the components that keep energy and industrial infrastructure moving at scale. Unimacts Global is a subsidiary of Zetwerk, a global manufacturing platform backed by leading institutional investors.

ROLE MANDATE

The Manufacturing Engineer owns the design, optimization, and continuous improvement of steel fabrication processes at the Sloan, NV facility. This role is responsible for driving operational efficiency, reducing production costs, and enabling capacity expansion across solar pile and galvanized tubing product lines. Success is measured by measurable throughput improvement, scrap reduction, and cycle time compression.

BUSINESS CONTEXT

Unimacts Global operates high-volume steel fabrication for solar infrastructure and structural tubing markets. The Sloan facility must scale production capacity while maintaining cost discipline in preparation for enterprise growth and market expansion. This role exists to build the process infrastructure that supports that growth.

KEY OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS

• Design and document manufacturing workflows for steel cutting, forming, welding, and galvanized tubing production
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks in fabrication production lines that limit throughput or increase scrap
• Develop process maps, standard work instructions, operational procedures, visual aids, and daily checklists in collaboration with the Plant Manager
• Analyze production data to surface cost drivers and recommend and implement corrective actions
• Support production scheduling by identifying capacity constraints and proposing line reconfigurations
• Design, develop, and manage all continuous improvement initiatives in partnership with the Engineering Manager and Plant Manager
• Develop a database for tool-wear study and implement a tracker for die maintenance
• Coordinate with Plant Manager on capital equipment justification and process improvement trials
• Interface with Quality, Maintenance, and Production leadership to resolve process-driven defects
• Drive Lean manufacturing principles and support continuous improvement culture on the shop floor across all departments
• Conduct detailed data analysis of top 5 scrap defects and downtime reasons, infer root causes, and propose solutions to eliminate them
• Actively seek low-cost automation solutions for machine monitoring systems to track parameters, downtime, output, and provide visibility of MTTF and MTBR
• Report OEE daily for the plant and improve it to the target set by the Plant Manager each month
• Train the production team on best practices
• Install visual aids and signs across the plant
• Eliminate defective drill bodies that arise as a result of the process
• Implement 5S and other Kaizen programs and work with the production team to track efficiency

DECISION AUTHORITY

This role owns process improvement execution. The Manufacturing Engineer is accountable for implementing approved changes, not simply recommending them. Budget authority for equipment modifications and tooling remains with the Plant Manager, but this role drives the technical justification and ROI analysis.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL INTERFACES

• Plant Manager: Process improvement strategy, capacity planning, capital project prioritization
• Engineering Manager: Continuous improvement program alignment, technical design validation
• Production Supervisors: Standard work deployment, line changeover optimization, productivity tracking
• Quality: Root cause analysis on defects, process validation, inspection criteria alignment
• Maintenance: Equipment reliability, preventive maintenance scheduling tied to process capability

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering preferred. Equivalent combination of technical training and manufacturing engineering experience will be considered.
• 2-5 years of manufacturing engineering experience in steel fabrication, metal forming, drilling operations, or welding operations
• Demonstrated ability to design and document manufacturing processes from concept to standard work
• Working knowledge of fabrication equipment (CNC drilling, metal forming, roll forming, cutting, high frequency welders, and thermal spray coat galvanizers)
• Proficiency in MS Dynamics or similar ERP systems for production data analysis
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, weld symbols, PIDs, equipment specifications, and plans
• Strong analytical skills with experience translating production metrics into actionable improvements
• Hands-on problem solver comfortable spending time on the production floor
• Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma exposure preferred but not required
