Manufacturing Engineer
Troubleshooting and Improvement
You will troubleshoot and resolve technical and quality issues on the shop floor during day operations. You will lead continuous process improvement leveraging Lean Six Sigma (including Value Stream Mapping, standardized work, line balancing, Kaizen, 5S, cell design, batch-size optimization, and pull systems).
Process Optimization
Analyze material movements and process flows to optimize layout, improve efficiency, and reduce waste. Perform capacity analysis and utilize simulation tools to assess and improve manufacturing processes and material handling. Identify process bottlenecks and develop/implement innovative solutions to maximize throughput.
Training and Documentation
Lead Kaizen/continuous improvement initiatives and train shop floor personnel on new processes and standards. Develop and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to process capability, yield, cycle time, and product quality. Develop, update, and implement process documentation, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.
Integration and Collaboration
Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing Technology to integrate new products and technologies into operations, providing feedback and capturing lessons learned. Lead and participate in structured problem-solving and root cause analysis related to manufacturing issues. Ensure consistent application of best practices and adherence to engineering specifications.
Support Projects
Support cost reduction, productivity improvement, and quality assurance projects.
