• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve manufacturing processes and techniques using Lean principles.
• Establish standards, implementation plans, and training for shop‑floor personnel.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing Technology to create processes for new products and capture lessons learned for existing processes.

• Lead implementation of manufacturing processes and techniques, including Lean and Six Sigma tools.
• Own manufacturing processes and standards; enforce implementation through training, monitoring metrics, and oversight.
• Solve complex manufacturing problems and troubleshoot quality and production yield issues.
• Implement process improvements to achieve manufacturing excellence in yield, cycle time, and productivity.
• Provide shop‑floor feedback on product design and manufacturability to Engineering and DFMs.
• Review and sign off on Engineering Change Orders that impact inventory, product life cycle, or obsolescence.
• Create, implement, and monitor key performance indicators and metrics on manufacturing process capability and product quality.
• Monitor and reduce process costs.
• Assist with investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action implementation for manufacturing quality issues.

• Ensure new processes are established using Lean concepts: standardized work instructions, line balancing, layout optimization, training matrices, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen/5S, pull processes, TPM, cell design, and quick changeover/batch‑size optimization.
• Drive continuous improvement projects on manufacturing processes.
• Evaluate and benchmark best‑in‑class manufacturing techniques for Schlumberger and OEM products.
• Establish pilot testing and scale‑up plans for manufacturing technology implementation.
• Work with Manufacturing and Engineering Métiers and stakeholders during prove‑out testing of processes.
• Support the Manufacturing Engineer (DFM) on technology issues/constraints for NPD and RR projects.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing Métiers and other resources to share and leverage best practices.
• Ensure manufacturing technology solutions achieve required quality levels, reliability, and consistency.

• BS Engineering Degree and 2 years of experience.
