Conduct regular Gemba walks and audits on the production floor to ensure adherence to standard work, safety protocols, and quality procedures; be hands-on when necessary to assist with setups, changeovers, or minor troubleshooting.
Drive **data-driven** problem-solving by tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), cycle times, scrap rates, downtime, and first-pass yield; prepare reports and recommendations for management.
Support customer service by ensuring production aligns with customer specifications and delivery requirements; communicate effectively with internal teams and, when needed, assist in addressing customer inquiries or quality concerns.
Participate in continuous improvement projects, Kaizen events, root cause analysis (e.g., using 5-Why or fishbone diagrams), and corrective action implementation to reduce waste and enhance productivity.
Maintain accurate documentation, including production logs, work instructions, audit records, and improvement trackers.
Promote a safe, compliant, and inclusive work environment while adhering to all company policies, OSHA regulations, and industry standards for foundry and die casting operations.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

2+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably in **metal industry**, **aluminum foundry**, **die casting**, or related production processes (e.g., operating or supporting casting machines, handling molten metal, or finishing operations).
Strong knowledge of **Lean manufacturing** principles and hands-on experience implementing **5S** in a production setting.
Advanced proficiency in **MS Excel** — must be able to create pivot tables, charts, **Pareto** charts, trend lines, and basic data analysis formulas.
Proven ability to work collaboratively on the shop floor with operators and production teams; excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Data-driven mindset with strong **attention to detail**; ability to spot anomalies in processes or data quickly.
Customer-focused approach with the ability to prioritize quality and on-time delivery.
Hands-on attitude — willing and able to step into production tasks when required (e.g., supporting changeovers or audits).
Basic understanding of production metrics, quality control, and safety practices in a foundry/die casting setting.
Ability to work in a physically demanding environment (standing for long periods, exposure to heat/noise, lifting up to 50 lbs. occasionally).

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with die casting machines, trim presses, furnaces, or related equipment.
Familiarity with quality tools (e.g., control charts, SPC) or continuous improvement methodologies (e.g., Six Sigma basics, Kaizen).
