Help Build Better Manufacturing Processes

\n

Rapido Talent is partnering confidentially with a growing precision manufacturer in Southeastern Wisconsin to hire a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer.

\n

This role exists because the company continues to expand its machining capabilities, invest in new equipment, and bring increasingly complex work into production. They're looking for someone who enjoys solving real manufacturing problems—not someone who wants to spend every day behind a desk.

\n

You'll work directly with operators, setup machinists, programmers, and leadership to improve machining processes, support new product introductions, and drive continuous improvement across the shop.
