Be the Problem‑Solver on the Floor

• Provide hands-on engineering support to manufacturing and service teams.
• Troubleshoot issues involving equipment, tooling, automation, materials, and processes.
• Lead root cause investigations and implement corrective and preventive actions that stick.
• Analyze production data to spot trends, recurring issues, and risks before they become problems.
• Develop permanent, scalable solutions that stabilize and improve production.

Stay Ahead of Issues Before They Happen

• Track key metrics—downtime, scrap, yield, rework—to understand process health.
• Use data and cross-functional insights to anticipate constraints or failures.
• Build control plans, standard work, and monitoring systems that prevent repeat issues.
• Maintain clear documentation of issues, actions, and lessons learned.

Shape the Future of Automation

• Program, modify, and support automation systems including PLCs, robotics, and automated assembly/test equipment.
• Support equipment setup, optimization, troubleshooting, and validation.
• Partner with Maintenance and vendors to boost automation reliability.
• Identify new automation opportunities that improve safety, throughput, and cost.

Lead Continuous Improvement

• Develop and execute improvement strategies aligned with business goals.
• Drive Lean, Six Sigma, and CI initiatives focused on efficiency, quality, and cost reduction.
• Identify opportunities for automation, simplification, and standardization.
• Strengthen long-term manufacturing capability, scalability, and resilience.

Build and Refine Processes

• Design, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes, work instructions, routings, and tooling.
• Ensure processes are robust, repeatable, and capable of meeting quality and production targets.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) through DFM/DFA reviews and process validation.
• Keep manufacturing documentation accurate and up to date.

Collaborate Across the Organization

• Work closely with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and Engineering.
• Support quality investigations, CAPA, and audit activities.
• Ensure compliance with applicable quality systems and regulatory requirements.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, or related engineering field.
• 5 –10 years of experience in manufacturing engineering or production support.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and a track record of implementing lasting corrective actions.
• Experience with automation systems (PLC, robotics, automated assembly/test equipment).
• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, controls, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to analyze data, identify trends, and anticipate operational risks.
• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Preferred

• Experience in high-mix or regulated manufacturing environments.
• Lean, Six Sigma, or similar CI certification.
• Project management or automation implementation experience.
