How you will make an impact:

The Advanced Manufacturing Engineer independently drives implementation and optimization of manufacturing equipment and processes. This role is tasked with operational efficiency improvements, new product, equipment, and process introductions, as well as leading efforts on continuous improvement initiatives in manufacturing. Additionally, this role is expected to cross-functionally collaborate throughout deployment of new processes, troubleshooting of manufacturing issues, and documentation efforts for all aspects of Meissner’s manufacturing.

• Develop and implement advanced automation solutions for Injection Molding operations. Including part handling, inspection, and downstream processes, to enable reliable “lights-out” manufacturing with minimal human intervention.
• Lead process improvement initiatives by independently identifying opportunities across all manufacturing spaces, creating implementation plans, and executing agreed upon solutions.
• Conduct process optimization studies by generating Design of Experiments, coordinating and executing the studies, documenting results, and presenting them to stakeholders.
• Prepare drawings for equipment modifications using 2-D and 3-D CAD software.
• Lead implementation of new manufacturing processes. Design, develop, and deploy new manufacturing equipment or automation systems to improve process capability, support the introduction of new products, and/or enhance existing processes via automation or retooling.
• Participate in the development process for new equipment and provide recommendations for ease of operation, maintenance, and long-term reliability.
• Facilitate testing and validation of new equipment and processes, as well as qualification of parts or intermediate processes.
• Create, review, and maintain process documentation, such as standard operating procedures, maintenance procedures, and work instructions.
• Participate in the deployment of new equipment and processes.
• Train operators on equipment and processes.
• Provide engineering technical support for maintenance and production teams in troubleshooting equipment and processes, implementing design and process modifications, as needed.
• Apply lean manufacturing principles to drive process optimization efforts, in order to reduce waste, save on costs, and improve process reliability.
• Assign maintenance work orders to the appropriate maintenance technicians for timely resolution.
• Support cross-functional projects related to capacity expansion, quality improvements, safety, and regulatory compliance.
