Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and hands-on Manufacturing / Facilities Engineer to support daily operations, optimize manufacturing processes, and ensure facility reliability across our Princeton campuses. The ideal candidate will split their time between production engineering support and overseeing building infrastructure systems, with direct involvement in capital projects, process improvements, and equipment upgrades.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving technical challenges in both process and facilities environments and who thrives in a fast-paced, high-mix manufacturing setting.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing:

• Design and build production systems involving compounding, mixing, laminating, cutting, and packaging of adhesives and films.
• Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis of mechanical/electrical/process issues across production lines.

• Plan and coordinate internal moves, facility layout improvements, and expansion projects.
• Manage contractor relationships for plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, compressed air, and electrical work.
• Maintain documentation related to building schematics, utility maps, and safety inspections.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, or Chemical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 2–5 years of experience in a manufacturing environment (chemicals, adhesives, or high-mix production a plus).
• Strong understanding of industrial facility systems (HVAC, air handling, compressed air, fire code compliance, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with troubleshooting and maintaining production equipment.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar software is a plus.
• Knowledge of OSHA standards and building codes related to manufacturing operations.
• Proactive mindset with strong problem-solving and project management skills.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience.
