Generally, manufacturing engineers are not required to have any specific certifications, but possessing and working towards certifications shows that a employee is engaged and interested in their field. A black-belt certification can be particularly desirable, but a CMfgE, PE, Lean Manufacturing, or other certification would still be viewed as a positive. It is important that you be prepared to discuss areas that you see as opportunity for future development and advancement in your career. Be sure to express where you would like to grow and how you would ask the employer to help you do so.
"I currently do not hold any applicable certifications, but I am interested in pursing my CMfgE. I have been studying for this certification and hope to take the test within the next year. Additionally, I would like to receive training in the operation of FANUC robots so I can be more effective at my job."

"Currently, I possess Six-Sigma certification. I would like to gain certificates in Industry 4.0 (smart factories) and CNC. Before really choosing too many more, I would like to work for a year to see which certificates would most benefit the company. Also, whichever the senior employees recommend."
