Drive continuous improvement in yield, scrap, quality, and throughput, and find the next opportunities the central technologist can turn into standards.

• Work the line day to day: find the losses (scrap, downtime, quality escapes) and put AI and analytics against the ones that pay.
• Build and deploy models on plant data for coating and formation quality, defect detection, and yield root cause, with the central technologist and vendors.
• Turn model output into action: parameter changes, error-proofing, and standard work with process, controls, and quality.
• Feed findings and reusable assets back to the central technologist so both plants benefit.
• Own the local data connection: MES, historians, PLC and OT data, and inline metrology.

• Bachelors of Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial OR Electrical preferred), with coursework or hands-on work in ML, data science, or analytics.
• Strong plant-floor instinct.
• Comfortable with Python and plant data (MES, historians such as PI or Ignition, PLC data).
• Process or manufacturing engineering experience; battery, semiconductor, coatings, or another high-volume process is a plus.
• Bias to action, and the credibility to work shoulder to shoulder with operators, technicians, and process engineers.
