Overview

Manufacturing Engineer - Process, Chemical

The Manufacturing Engineer role is responsible for leading chemical process development for new product introductions, driving improvement initiatives to optimize existing processes and production performance, managing project execution, and applying statistical methods to resolve process challenges.

• Lead and support chemical process development and industrialization activities for new product introductions (NPI) and new technology implementation, ensuring robust and scalable manufacturing processes.
• Apply Lean Six Sigma methodologies and statistical engineering tools to develop, validate, and optimize manufacturing processes, ensuring high process capability and product quality.
• Troubleshoot project-related and production issues, perform root cause analysis, and lead problem-solving initiatives to ensure process stability and drive continuous improvement.
• Manage project activities, including process validation and verification, equipment design reviews, capacity analysis, BOM quantity calculations, review of control plans, and defining quality standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, engineering, operations, and quality teams to ensure seamless integration of new processes and technologies.
• Achieve key performance metrics such as cycle time, OEE, and yield, ensuring readiness for production scaling and operational handover.

• Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
• Preferably 4 - 7 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, coating applications, production operations, or related sectors. Fresh graduates with relevant internship experience are welcome to apply
• Strong knowledge of chemistry and chemical processes
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Agile and adaptable, with strong interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a team
• Proficiency in statistical tools (e.g. Minitab), CAD software (e.g. Solid Works), risk assessment tools (e.g. FMEA)
• Experience in project development and execution, as well as process development and improvement

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations. This is an onsite role.
