Develop, maintain, and enhance manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, procedures, and process standards.
-
Design, validate, and implement tooling, fixtures, manufacturing aids, test equipment, and automation solutions.
-
Interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and product documentation to support efficient production execution.
Support New Product Introduction (NPI)
-
Participate in prototyping, pilot builds, production ramp-ups, and new product launches.
-
Collaborate with Engineering to ensure products are designed for manufacturability, testability, reliability, and efficient assembly.
-
Identify manufacturing risks, tooling requirements, process constraints, and documentation gaps early in product development.
-
Develop production methods, work instructions, fixtures, and test processes for new and revised products.
-
Support engineering changes and process improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
Lead Continuous Improvement Initiatives
-
Drive projects focused on cycle time reduction, yield improvement, throughput gains, scrap reduction, labor efficiency, and cost savings.
-
Utilize Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5S, FMEA, SPC, root cause analysis, and Industry 5.0 technologies such as automation and AI.
-
Analyze manufacturing data to identify trends and implement data-driven improvements.
-
Standardize best practices and promote a culture of operational excellence and accountability.
Support Quality and Compliance
-
Help maintain ISO 9001-aligned manufacturing practices, documentation, and continuous improvement efforts.
-
Collaborate with Quality on corrective actions, nonconformance investigations, inspections, and process improvements.
-
Work with suppliers and Purchasing to address manufacturability, tooling, materials, and component-related challenges.
-
Ensure compliance with company quality, safety, and operational standards.
What Makes You Successful
-
You enjoy being on the production floor and solving real-world manufacturing challenges.
-
You take a hands-on, practical approach to continuous improvement.
-
You thrive in collaborative, cross-functional environments.
-
You can balance immediate production needs with long-term improvement initiatives.
-
You communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
-
You are organized, adaptable, and driven by results.
Why Join Us?
You'll have the opportunity to directly influence manufacturing performance, product quality, and operational excellence.
