Role details

Toray Advanced Composites (TAC) is a leading supplier of advanced composite materials for the aerospace, sporting goods, motor sport, and industrial markets. You will find our thermoset composite products on nearly every satellite, space launch vehicle, unmanned aircraft, military, and commercial aircraft in production today. TAC also provides composite materials to industrial and recreational applications including mountain bikes, medical prosthetics, and sports equipment.

Our thermoplastic prepregs, known in the industry as Cetex, are found in a wide range of commercial and military aircrafts, including large wing structures and interior applications like seats and galleys. Our Cetex products are available in unidirectional tape or fabric form in a variety of engineered thermoplastic resins including PAEK, PEKK, PEEK, PPS, PEI as well as a full line of performance thermoplastics including Nylon, PET, HDPE, and PP.

The Maintenance Engineer & Operator (MEOP) serves as a critical on‑site technical professional who bridges production operations and maintenance engineering. The role is responsible for ensuring stable equipment operation, consistent product quality and a safe working environment while proactively identifying and resolving equipment and process related issues. By combining operational ownership with first and second level maintenance capability, the MEOP directly contributes to maximizing productivity, equipment reliability and overall manufacturing excellence.

• Production Operations
• Operate, monitor and control assigned manufacturing equipment in accordance with defined process parameters and product schedules
• Set up and adjust operating conditions to ensure stable production, consistent quality and optimal throughput
• Monitor product quality, yield and process trends and take immediate corrective actions when deviations occur
• Strictly follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) while actively identifying opportunities to improve work standards, efficiency and robustness
• Serve as the primary owner of assigned equipment during production shifts
• Work Order and D365 and planning coordination
• Maintenance (First-to Second-Level Support)
• Perform routine inspections, preventive maintenance (PM) and basic predictive maintenance activities to prevent unplanned downtime
• Diagnose and troubleshoot minor to moderate mechanical, electrical or control-related issues in a timely and structure manner
• Conduct first-level failure analysis and implement temporary countermeasures to restore safe operation
• Escalate complex issues appropriately and collaborate closely with Maintenance Engineers, Process Engineers and equipment vendors as needed
• Accurately document maintenance activities, failures and corrective actions to support knowledge sharing and continuous improvement
• Continuous Improvement & Technical Activities
• Analyze equipment downtime, defects and process losses using root cause analysis methods (eg, 5-Why, Fishbone, Pareto)
• Propose, lead and implement Kaizen initiatives to improve equipment reliability, productivity, safety and maintainability
• Utilize OEE, downtime and process data to identify loss drivers and improvement opportunities
• Support equipment modifications, upgrades and new equipment installations, including commissioning and ramp-up support
• Actively contribute to cross-functional improvement teams and share best practices across lines of shifts
• Safety, Quality and Compliance
• Comply with all safety rules, procedures and regulations, including strict adherence to Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and energy isolation requirements
• Participate in risk assessments, hazard analyses and safety…
