The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer is responsible for owning, sustaining, troubleshooting, and improving manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution, stability, quality, and production performance.

This is a hands-on engineering role embedded directly within the electronics manufacturing environment. The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer works alongside operators, technicians, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production teams to establish and maintain process parameters, troubleshoot equipment and process issues, reduce variation and defects, and ensure manufacturing processes remain stable, repeatable, and capable over time.

The role combines hands-on manufacturing process and equipment support with structured problem solving, process validation, continuous improvement, and data analysis. Statistical Process Control (SPC) and process capability analysis are important tools used to monitor performance, identify variation, and support corrective action.

This position requires a consistent presence on the production floor and direct engagement with manufacturing equipment and production processes. This is not a desk-based or remote engineering position.

The essential functions of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Manufacturing Process Ownership
• Process & Equipment Control
• Process Monitoring & Data Analysis
• Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving
• Cross-Functional & Production Floor Engagement
• Quality & Compliance Support

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field required.
• 4–6 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, process engineering, process control, quality engineering, or a related manufacturing function.
• Hands-on experience supporting manufacturing processes and production equipment in a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting manufacturing process variation, defects, or equipment-related issues.
• Experience developing, controlling, validating, or improving manufacturing processes.
• Working knowledge of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and process capability concepts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in electronics manufacturing, PCB/PCBA manufacturing, or a similar technical manufacturing environment preferred.
• Experience supporting automated manufacturing equipment and processes.
• Experience with process qualification, validation, and equipment implementation.
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI), process transfers, or production ramp-ups.
• Experience working within ISO, AS, IPC, or other regulated quality systems.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Strong understanding of manufacturing process development, control, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to troubleshoot manufacturing equipment and process-related production issues.
• Ability to establish, evaluate, and optimize manufacturing process parameters.
• Working knowledge of SPC methodologies, control charts, process capability analysis, and reaction planning.
• Experience using manufacturing data to identify trends, variation, and process improvement opportunities.
• Working knowledge of PFMEA, control plans, process validation, and structured root cause analysis.
• Proficiency with analytical tools such as Microsoft Excel; experience with Minitab or similar statistical software preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and manufacturing documentation.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across departments.
• Ability to coach and communicate technical process requirements to operators and technicians.
• Strong sense of urgency, accountability, and ownership in a production environment.

Physical Demands

• Regular standing, walking, and sitting in a manufacturing environment
• Occasional lifting up to 25 pounds
• Frequent use of computer and analytical tools

Work Environment

• Manufacturing and production floor environment
• Primary work location is on the production floor, not in an engineering office area
• Moderate noise levels typical of a production environment
• Daily, continuous on-site presence required to support operations and real-time process control
