• Design and improve manufacturing processes across assembly, machining, and testing, including factory layouts, material flow, workstation design, line balancing, capacity modeling, cycle-time optimization, and standard work.
• Deliver new equipment, automation, and product launches by coordinating equipment design, selection, installation, commissioning, validation, and safe start-up with production, design engineering, R&D, EHS, suppliers, and system integrators.
• Strengthen process safety and quality through risk assessments, engineering controls, error-proofing, guarding, automated interlocks, PFMEAs, control plans, equipment qualifications, work instructions, and compliance with applicable quality standards, including IATF.
• Advance digital and Lean manufacturing using MES, data analytics, robotics, PLCs, Kaizen, 5S, root-cause problem solving, and process capability measures such as Cp and Cpk to reduce waste, scrap, ergonomic risk, and production losses.

What We're Looking For

• A Bachelor of Science in Engineering and at least 5 years of manufacturing, process, or project engineering experience in an industrial environment.
• At least 1 year of experience leading complex manufacturing projects involving custom machine design, commercial equipment selection, systems integration, installation, commissioning, and equipment start-up.
• Practical knowledge of PLCs, manufacturing execution systems, assembly processes, industrial electrical systems, and CAD/CAM tools, along with proficiency in Microsoft software.
• The ability to lead engineers and collaborate across functions, communicate clearly at all levels of an organization, listen effectively, and solve complex manufacturing problems using data and sound engineering judgment.
• The flexibility to support a multi-shift manufacturing operation when business needs, equipment installations, product launches, or production priorities require it
