Responsibilities
- Develop and improve manufacturing processes and production methods.
- Design, develop, modify, and implement equipment, tooling, and fixtures.
- Identify opportunities for factory automation and error-proofing.
- Troubleshoot equipment and manufacturing-process problems.
- Improve manufacturing cells, layouts, workflow, and material flow.
- Reduce cycle time, scrap, downtime, and manufacturing waste.
- Support equipment installation, commissioning, and production launches.
- Support new-product and new-process introductions.
- Apply Lean and continuous-improvement principles.
- Perform root-cause analysis and support corrective actions.
- Work closely with production, maintenance, quality, engineering, suppliers, and management.
- Manage engineering improvement projects from concept through implementation.
- Support PFMEA, Control Plans, APQP, PPAP, and IATF 16949 requirements as applicable.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Automation, or related engineering field preferred.
- Other technical education combined with significant relevant manufacturing engineering experience may be considered.
- Experience in a manufacturing or production environment.
- Experience with manufacturing processes, equipment, automation, tooling, layouts, or continuous improvement.
- Strong mechanical and technical problem-solving skills.
