Partner with Quality to investigate defects, process variation, rework, and customer return trends.
Use data to identify root causes and recommend corrective and preventive actions.
Assist with developing process controls to ensure consistent product standards.
Support documentation and traceability requirements as needed.

Equipment, Tooling & Production Layout

Assist in evaluating equipment needs, tooling improvements, fixtures, and production layout changes.
Work with Maintenance and Production to troubleshoot recurring equipment or process-related issues.
Recommend improvements to machine utilization, workstation setup, material handling, and production flow.
Support equipment installation, validation, and process readiness when new tools or machines are introduced.

Data Analysis & Reporting

Collect and analyze manufacturing data to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities.
Prepare reports related to productivity, process performance, downtime, scrap, rework, and improvement projects.
Use production data to support staffing, capacity planning, labor standards, and operational decision-making.
Present findings and recommendations to leadership in a clear and practical manner.

Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, work instructions, and process documents.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
Proficient with Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
Experience with ERP/MRP systems, CAD software, or production tracking systems preferred.

Practical problem-solving ability with a hands-on approach.
Strong communication skills across all levels of the organization.
