Bridge between R&D, Engineering and Production teams to develop, implement and maintain processes, designs, sources, and schedules. Design, integrate, and improve manufacturing processes, systems, tools, and fixtures. Estimates manufacturing cost, determines time standards, and makes recommendations for tooling and process requirements of new or existing product lines. Manage Engineering Change Order (ECO) process and improvements. Support technical writing to improve documentation of production and testing processes.

Apply the five lean thinking principles (value, value stream, flow, pull, and perfection) to processes and operations through various lean tools in order to increase profit, automate non‑value added activity, increase value added activity, and reduce pure waste, overhead, lead time, and development time.

• Review Engineering Change Orders and coordinate design/implementation with Engineering and Production Departments
• Review product designs and documentation for manufacturability and/or completeness
• Support technical writing to provide documentation, detailed instructions, drawings, or specifications to tell others how devices, parts, equipment, or structures are to be fabricated, constructed, assembled, modified, maintained, or used
• Coordinate training of production personnel in new or existing methods
• Troubleshoot new or existing product problems involving designs, materials, or processes
• Determine root causes of failures using statistical methods and recommend changes in designs, tolerances, or processing methods
