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 MISSION
Build and continuously improve the manufacturing processes that allow CRAFT to scale rapidly while improving:
Safety • Quality • Productivity • Delivery • Operator Capability
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
