DescriptionProcess Engineer- Filament WindingStewartville, MN | On-site
About the RoleWe9re hiring a Process Engineer to own process development and improvement on the manufacturing floor. You9ll run trials and interpret the data, chase down the root cause when quality drifts, design tooling and fixtures in SolidWorks, and scope and land capital projects. You9ll work closely with operations and the rest of the engineering team.
You don9t need composites experience. If you9ve engineered a continuous process, the material is learnable and we9ll teach it.
What You9ll Do- Own process development from concept through production launch- equipment, tooling, parameters, and validation
- Design tooling, fixtures, and mandrels in SolidWorks and see them through build and install
- Run structured trials and DOEs, analyze the data, and turn it into process changes that hold
- Lead root cause investigations on quality and throughput problems and implement permanent fixes
- Scope, justify, and manage capital projects- new equipment, tooling, process upgrades
- Drive continuous improvement projects end to end: identify the problem, build the plan, deliver the result
- Develop and maintain work instructions, troubleshooting guides, and process documentation
- Use our test lab to optimize designs for performance and manufacturability
- Coach and train operations crews on processes and equipment
- Support off-shift trials when needed
What We9re Looking For- Bachelor9s degree in Engineering (mechanical, manufacturing, chemical, or materials preferred)
- 2-5 years of hands-on process or manufacturing engineering experience in a production environment
- Experience owning a process. You9ve made changes and been accountable for the result
- SolidWorks proficiency: parts, assemblies, drawings, GD&T per ANSI Y14.5
- Comfortable with data- trials, capability studies, statistical problem solving
- You can work from a goal, break it into tasks, and execute without needing to be managed
- Strong communicator across all levels- line operators to executives
You9ll Stand Out If- You9ve worked in a continuous process- filament winding, pultrusion, extrusion, coating, or similar
- You have experience with composites or thermoset resin systems (polyester, vinyl-ester, urethane)
- You9ve owned tooling or mandrel design
- You bring Lean, Six Sigma, or structured CI methodology
