Manufacturing Engineering Manager

Position Overview

Are you a manufacturing leader who thrives on driving innovation, improving processes, and developing high-performing teams? International is seeking a Manufacturing Engineering Manager to lead a talented group of engineers responsible for supporting and advancing our manufacturing operations. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to shape the future of production by overseeing equipment, tooling, automation systems, and process improvements that help deliver world-class products. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, influence new product launches, and champion continuous improvement initiatives that drive quality, efficiency, and operational excellence.

If you're passionate about solving complex manufacturing challenges, implementing cutting-edge technology, and leading teams to success, we'd love to hear from you.

As International Motors continues to grow in San Antonio, we are expanding our production operations with the introduction of a night production shift. The night shift is Monday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 4:00 AM, with production planned to begin in early 2027. This position will initially work Day Shift and be required to transition to Night Shift as the operation ramps up in mid-2027.

Day Shift Schedule: Monday through Thursday, 5:30 AM–4:00 PM.

Night Shift Schedule: Monday through Thursday, 5:30 PM–4:00 AM.

This is a salaried position supporting a manufacturing operation. While the primary schedule aligns with the designated production shift, employees are expected to provide operational support as needed to meet business objectives. This may require working outside normal production hours, including extended shifts, production startup activities, recovery efforts, and occasional weekend support based on operational requirements.

Shift Differential: 10% differential upon transitioning to Night Shift work schedule.
