Process Engineer

What will you do

As a Process Engineer, you will serve as the technical owner of polymer film extrusion processes supporting Rollstock packaging applications in a high-volume manufacturing environment. This role operates with a high level of independence and partners closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Maintenance, and Product Development teams to improve process capability, reliability, yield, and safety. You will lead troubleshooting efforts, process optimization initiatives, capital projects, material qualifications, and continuous improvement activities while driving operational excellence through data-driven decision-making and hands-on floor support.

Why do we need you?

• Own and optimize Rollstock extrusion processes to ensure stable, repeatable, and efficient manufacturing performance.
• Troubleshoot complex extrusion issues related to materials, process variation, temperature control, gauge/profile consistency, and downstream operations.
• Drive reductions in scrap, downtime, and process variation through data-driven root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Lead Lean and Six Sigma projects focused on yield, throughput, setup reduction, and operational efficiency.
• Support capital projects, equipment upgrades, startups, process trials, and new technology implementation.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Maintenance, and Product Development teams to support product launches, resin qualifications, and process improvements.
• Strengthen process control, safety, quality, and operational standards through SPC, DOE, FMEA, and structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership and floor support in a high-volume extrusion manufacturing environment.
