Manufacturing Process Engineer -- Automotive Glass Fabrication

Step into a pivotal role shaping how precision glass components are made. You will own an assigned area of our glass fabrication line, turning data and on-the-floor insights into reliable, repeatable results.

• Begin by reviewing weekly production metrics, spotting deficiencies, and prioritizing improvements that lift capability and reduce scrap.
• Prepare for upcoming runs by managing all process-related tooling and confirming it’s ready for changeovers.
• Walk the line with operators to troubleshoot issues in real time, reduce defects, increase throughput, and improve dimensional capability.
• Verify that components conform to customer specifications through checks and documentation.
• Issue or revise drawings and process sheets as continuous improvements are validated.
• Coach operators to safely and effectively run plant equipment and machinery.

• Apply Six Sigma, SPC, 5 Why, and Pareto analysis to stabilize and enhance the process.
• Implement sustained changes that cut scrap and boost capability across your area of responsibility.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure tooling, methods, and documentation are synchronized with production needs.
