Build the Future of Automotive Manufacturing with Axiom!

Are you a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who enjoys turning complex manufacturing challenges into practical, high-performance production solutions?

Axiom Group Inc. is looking for an experienced Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join our Engineering team and take a leading role in developing advanced automotive assembly and automation solutions .

This is an opportunity to work on projects involving robotics, automation, machine vision, controls, automated material handling, inspection, functional testing, traceability, and connected manufacturing systems .

If you enjoy taking a concept from feasibility → equipment design → supplier development → validation → production launch → continuous improvement , we want to hear from you!

What You'll Do

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will:

- Lead manufacturing feasibility and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews for new products, engineering changes, transfers, and capacity expansions.
- Develop manufacturing strategies for complex automotive assemblies, including process flow, assembly sequence, automation level, material flow, inspection, testing, traceability, and error-proofing .
- Develop and validate manual, semi-automated, and fully automated assembly processes .
- Lead the development and integration of multi-station automated assembly systems .
- Work with robotics, automated material handling, machine vision, sensing, controls, inspection, functional testing, and data acquisition .
- Develop cycle-time, line-balance, labor, capacity, equipment, layout, and capital requirements.
- Lead RFQs, equipment specifications, technical scopes of work, acceptance criteria, and supplier deliverables .




- Manage equipment suppliers through concept, design, build, FAT, installation, SAT, capability studies, run-at-rate, and production handoff .
- Lead manufacturing engineering activities during current program launches and major process changes , working closely with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Automation, Maintenance, Tooling, Molding, Purchasing, and suppliers.
- Develop and maintain APQP and IATF 16949 documentation , including process flows, PFMEAs, control plans, error-proofing plans, work instructions, capability studies, and engineering-change documentation.
- Lead continuous-improvement initiatives focused on automation, equipment reliability, cycle time, labor optimization, quality, capacity, and material flow .
- Provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentoring to junior and plant-level Manufacturing Engineers.

What We're Looking For

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering , or a related engineering discipline. Engineering Technology graduates with substantial relevant experience may also be considered.
- 7+ years of progressive Manufacturing Engineering experience .
- Experience developing and implementing manufacturing processes for complex assemblies in an automotive manufacturing environment .
- Experience in a plastic injection molding production environment is required , including knowledge of post-mold handling, automation,



and assembly interfaces.
- Experience with complex automated assembly systems involving:
- Robotics
- Automated material handling
- Machine vision and sensing
- Controls
- In-process inspection
- Functional testing
- Traceability
- Error-proofing

- Experience developing equipment specifications and RFQs and managing equipment suppliers from concept through production acceptance.
- Strong knowledge of DFM/DFA, APQP, PFMEA, control plans, capability studies, run-at-rate, structured problem solving, and IATF 16949 .
- Working knowledge of automation controls, robotics, industrial networks, machine safety, and equipment integration .
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and working knowledge of AutoCAD or comparable layout/design software .

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who can combine strong engineering knowledge with hands‑on manufacturing experience .

You should be comfortable

- Solving complex manufacturing problems
- Working with cross-functional teams
- Managing multiple priorities
- Presenting technical recommendations
- Working directly with equipment suppliers
- Leading technical discussions
- Mentoring other engineers
- Working independently
- Travelling as required

Why This Role?

This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain an existing production process.

You will have the opportunity to define how complex automotive products are manufactured , evaluate automation strategies, influence equipment design, work directly with suppliers, and help bring new manufacturing systems from concept into production.

You will work at the intersection of:

Engineering + Automation + Robotics + Manufacturing + Automotive + Continuous Improvement
