Help Build the Factory That Takes CRAFT to the Next Level Tecate, Baja California, Mexico
New Factory | Full-Time | Primarily Production-Floor Based
Do you look at a manufacturing process and immediately think, “There has to be a better way”?
CRAFT is a privately held, entrepreneurial, fast-growing refrigeration manufacturer serving the U.S. supermarket and restaurant market.
We combine manufacturing in Baja California, world-class engineering, advanced refrigeration design and testing, and close collaboration with major U.S. customers to create increasingly energy-efficient, reliable refrigeration systems with outstanding lifetime cost of ownership.
And we're building a new factory in Tecate.
We're looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who wants more than maintaining somebody else's processes.
We want you to help build better ones.

Your operating philosophy should be:
Observe it.



Measure it. Understand it. Improve it. Standardize it. Teach it. Verify it. Sustain it.
That's the core mission of this position.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
This is not an engineering job where most of your time is spent behind a desk.
You'll move between the engineering drawing, production data and the operator's presente workstation.
You'll:
- Conduct time and motion studies and establish reliable takt, cycle and labor standards.
- Find bottlenecks and improve line balancing, layouts, workstations and material flow.
- Use SMED to attack changeover time.
- Create simple, visual Standard Work and Work Instructions that operators can actually use.
- Develop PFDs, PFMEAs and Control Plans for priority processes.
- Apply Lean, 5S, Kanban, FIFO, visual management and Poka-Yoke where they make work better.
- Use 8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, Pareto and PDCA to eliminate root causes—not just contain problems.
