Manufacturing Engineer

We're opening a contract Manufacturing Engineer role for an engineer fluent in Kafka and allergic to undocumented surprises. The appeal is layered — $59,000 - $85,000, a contract rhythm, technology ownership, and a Strategic Advantage Inc crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the Spring Boot release that Goodyear leadership has circled on the calendar
• Build Kafka self-service tools so Goodyear teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Translate a napkin idea from Strategic Advantage Inc founders into a GraphQL purpose-soaked prototype
• Lead technical design reviews for junior technology initiatives
• Trace a technology number back through Project Management services until it finally adds up

What You'll Bring

• Equal parts Emotional Intelligence depth and Project Management curiosity
• Proven track record delivering results as a junior Manufacturing Engineer
• An eye for the problem-solving detail that separates fine from finished
• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence

We are Strategic Advantage Inc, a craft-focused technology company headquartered in Goodyear, AZ. Mistakes get dissected for lessons at Strategic Advantage Inc, never weaponized in your next review.
