We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Manufacturing Engineer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Wireless probes get the measure of JCB parts from
Renishaw, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Renishaw RMP60 is the first inspection probe to use frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) data transmission".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Software chosen for Boeing project from
Vistagy: "Alenia Aeronautica is streamlining its entire product development process using FiberSIM to more quickly and efficiently manufacture large, complex composite aircraft parts".
In June 2007, we covered the news from ESI Group
concerning its ESI group's composites simulation solution
- take a look at Aircraft company chooses simulation software
which says: "Chengdu Aircraft has recently completed its implementation of ESI group's composites simulation solution in its aircraft design and manufacturing engineering process".
Take a look also at the news release from ESI Group, Aviation composites partnership reached,
as well as A locking fastener that can be reused from Spiralock,
and Safety features added to diesel locomotives from Corus Northern Engineering Services.
