In this role, you will be embedded directly within your assigned Product Center, partnering daily with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and OPEX. You will receive functional guidance from the Quality organization to ensure consistency, methodology discipline, and standardization across the site. This hybrid structure strengthens ownership, accelerates problem-solving, and supports long-term reliability improvements.

Under moderate supervision, you will:
• assist management in the development of a vision to systematically improve business operations on an on-going basis.
• develop a continuous improvement culture using Lean tools in a pragmatic manner to implement timely, value-added change within the business.
• provide leadership in driving culture changes needed to build support & participation in operational improvement initiatives.
• drive increased visibility of operational waste and ineffectiveness with an objective of chartering and implementing actions to address these issues.

• Conduct training and coaching of the manufacturing staff and leadership team on operational excellence topics and tools.
• Facilitate and coach QRQC sessions to ensure rapid, structured problem response within the Product Center.
• Lead or support disciplined RCA/8D/A3 problem-solving activities, including containment, root cause identification, and action verification.
• Monitor corrective action program (CAP) backlog, evaluation quality, timeliness, and effectiveness; identify systemic trends and recurring issues.
• Perform trending and analysis of weak signals, observations, SFIs, and performance indicators to detect emerging risks early.
• Collect, validate, and analyze KPIs (OEE, FPA, CAP health, CONQ, quality metrics) to produce clear, data-driven insights and recommendations for Product Center leadership.
• Serve as the Product Center's subject matter expert and primary facilitator for FMEA/FMEZ, ensuring risk analyses remain current and effective.
• Promote Human Performance principles and tools across operations; integrate error-prevention techniques into procedures and corrective actions.
• Lead or coordinate small Continuous Improvement activities, Kaizens, and waste-reduction projects tailored to each Product Center.
• Provide routine performance reporting and insights through dashboards, commentary, and periodic review cadences.

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's Degree in a related field. Equivalent work experience may be considered in lieu of degree.
  • Minimum of 6 years of related experience.
  • Knowledge of related engineering standards, processes, tools, techniques and criteria.
  • Ability to simplify complex topics and connect with operational context.
  • Knowledge of continuous improvement processes, methods and metrics.
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to work effectively with all levels of staff and management.
  • Ability to develop and maintain good interpersonal relationships; work collaboratively within a team environment.
  • Ability to lead, motivate and effect change.


Total Rewards Package

  • Salary: $94,000 - $127,000, and may also include annual incentives and performance bonuses. The base salary range is a guideline. Individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies and work location.
  • Health & Wellness: Multiple medical plan options, dental & vision coverage, life insurance, long- and short-term disability, and optional supplemental plans (critical illness, accident, hospital indemnity, dependent life).
  • Retirement: 401(k) with employer match.
