Manufacturing Engineer

Who We Are
Landscape Structures Inc. has been the world’s leading manufacturer of commercial playground equipment for more than 50 years. As an employee‑owned company, we design inclusive, innovative playgrounds that help kids of all ages and abilities grow through play—building confidence, creativity, empathy, and leadership.

Why This Role Is a Great Start to Your Engineering Career

If you’re a recent engineering graduate eager to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to real‑world manufacturing challenges, this role is for you. As a Manufacturing Engineer at LSI, you’ll gain hands‑on experience, work closely with production teams, and play a direct role in creating products that make a meaningful impact in communities around the world.

You’ll be supported by experienced engineers, encouraged to ask questions, and empowered to contribute ideas from day one.

What You’ll Do

As part of our Manufacturing Engineering team, you’ll help design, improve, and support the processes used to build our playground equipment. Key responsibilities include:

• Support production teams by troubleshooting quality issues, analyzing processes, and helping implement improvements
• Participate in the development of new products—supporting prototypes, pilot runs, and first articles
• Create and maintain production documentation such as routings, work instructions, and engineering change orders (ECOs)
• Assist with Lean and continuous improvement initiatives, including Kaizen events and internal audits
• Learn and apply ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental standards
• Help reduce scrap, rework, and downtime through preventive and corrective actions
• Collaborate closely with shop floor teams, engineers, and supervisors to solve problems and improve workflows

This role offers a great balance of hands‑on manufacturing exposure, data‑driven problem solving, and team collaboration.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to know everything on day one—we’re looking for curiosity, motivation, and a willingness to learn.

Ideal Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related field (recent graduates encouraged to apply!)
• Internship, co‑op, or entry‑level experience in manufacturing or engineering preferred
• Interest in Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement
• Strong problem‑solving skills and mechanical aptitude
• Ability to communicate clearly and work well in a team environment
• Comfortable spending time on the shop floor learning how things are made

Target hourly range: $32.00 – $39.00
Starting pay is based on qualifications, experience, and training needs. This range reflects compensation for a fully qualified candidate, with flexibility for early‑career engineers.
