Manufacturing Engineer

TK Modular Systems designs, fabricates, and integrates modular process equipment and controls for the Pharmaceutical, BioTech and Industrial markets. All process equipment and support structures are fabricated from stainless steel in a clean environment. Once designed and built, the systems are factory tested and installed on a client’s site.

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Manufacturing Engineer will work cross-functionally with Design (Mechanical, Process, Electrical), Quality Assurance, and Production to develop manufacturing routings, optimize processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and uphold our high-quality standards

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

· Design and develop manufacturing processes for stainless-steel modular systems (frames, skids, pipework, utility modules).

· Develop manufacturing processes routings, and qualifications in ERP system to populate job travelers.

· Interpret drawings, P&IDs, and process design documents; translate them into detailed manufacturing plans.

· Participate in design reviews to evaluate concepts, identify potential issues, and propose enhancements for functionality, manufacturability, transportation, and compliance.

· Develop manufacturing work instructions, process flows, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

· Collaborate with Design, Automation, QA/inspection to integrate Factory Acceptance Testing, borescope weld inspections, and regulatory compliance.

· Design fixture and tooling for fabrication and assess any required additional equipment.

· Liaise with supply chain and procurement to specify parts, generate BOMs, and track sourcing.

· Drive continuous improvement initiatives (Lean principles, KPIs) to elevate throughput, reduce defects, and streamline operations.

· Troubleshoot production issues and provide technical support during assembly, testing, and commissioning phases.

QUALIFICATIONS:

· Degree or diploma in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering.

· A minimum of ten years of engineering experience in a fabrication/assembly manufacturing environment.

· Proven experience in developing process routings in ERP systems, preferably NetSuite.

· Experience with custom or modular equipment manufacturing in highly regulated industries (pharma, biotech, food, nuclear).

· Proficiency in 3D CAD software, preferably Autodesk or CREO

· In-depth understanding of welding processes (TIG, automatic welding), ASME BTH, B30.20, OSHA, and ASME/CSA standards (B31.1/B31.3 pipe, BPE, W59, AWS D1.1).

· Strong knowledge of stainless-steel fabrication and sanitary piping systems would be an asset.

· Skilled in interpreting P&IDs, structural drawings, and fabricated assembly for modular skids would be an asset.

· Excellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and client-facing activities.

· Proactive in identifying inefficiencies and developing solutions to optimize operations.

· Lean/Kaizen or Six Sigma certification would be an asset.

· Knowledge of regulatory guidelines (e.g., GMP, 21 CFR part 210/211) would be an asset.
