Full Job Description

What to Expect

The Staff Process Engineer will serve as a senior technical leader focused on driving significant reductions in scrap, leading Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) initiatives, and developing robust, scalable manufacturing processes reporting to quality group. This role combines deep process engineering expertise with data-driven problem solving to improve yield, reduce waste, and enhance overall manufacturing efficiency across high-volume production lines (Drive Unit, Battery, and related assemblies). The successful candidate will act as a key technical resource, mentoring junior engineers while collaborating cross-functionally with Quality, Production, Maintenance, and Automation teams.

What You'll Do

Lead scrap reduction initiatives targeting >20% improvement through root-cause analysis, process optimization, and implementation of sustainable countermeasures. Establish and maintain scrap tracking dashboards, Pareto analysis, and real-time monitoring systems to identify top loss drivers
Conduct detailed scrap teardowns, failure mode analysis, and data analytics to quantify losses and prioritize high-impact projects. Develop and execute scrap reduction roadmaps aligned with annual business objectives and quality targets
Own and drive timely closure of CAPA related to scrap, quality escapes, and process deviations
Facilitate structured problem-solving methodologies (5-Why, Fishbone, 8D, DMAIC) and ensure effective implementation of corrective and preventive measures. Validate CAPA effectiveness through follow-up audits, data review, and process capability studies (Cpk/Ppk, etc.)
Lead process development and continuous improvement projects for new and existing manufacturing lines, with emphasis on automation, cycle time, and yield
Design, specify, and implement process changes, tooling, fixtures, and equipment modifications to reduce scrap and improve first-pass yield (FPY)
Develop and maintain process documentation, work instructions, PFMEA, and control plans
Apply Lean, Six Sigma, and Genchi Genbutsu (“go and see”) principles to drive sustainable process improvements
Support new product introduction (NPI) by defining process parameters, conducting capability studies, and ensuring robust launch processes

What You'll Bring

Degree in Engineering, or equivalent experience
8+ years of process engineering experience in high-volume automotive or advanced manufacturing (body shop, battery, or drive unit assembly strongly preferred)
Proven track record of delivering measurable scrap reduction (>15–20%) and yield improvement
Strong experience leading CAPA / corrective action processes and structured problem solving
Hands-on experience with process development, automation, robotics, and data analytics tools
Excellent cross-functional leadership, communication, and mentoring skills
Proficiency in statistical analysis, Minitab/JMP, and manufacturing execution systems (MES)
