• Conduct time studies, line balancing activities, and Lean assessments to improve flow and establish production standards
• Lead problem-solving efforts with production teams to eliminate waste, improve ergonomics, reduce cycle time, and optimize processes
• Support cost analysis activities and identify opportunities for productivity and efficiency improvements

2. Manufacturing Engineering & Technical Problem Solving

• Support development and implementation of manufacturing processes, equipment, assembly methods, and production systems
• Partner with operators and technicians to understand process constraints and develop practical solutions that improve safety, quality, and efficiency
• Investigate process issues and provide hands-on technical support to production teams
• Evaluate existing manufacturing processes and recommend improvements to increase efficiency and reduce cost
• Assist with workstation design, assembly cell development, manufacturing layouts, and material flow improvements
• Support implementation of engineering changes and assess impacts to manufacturing operations
• Promote and maintain safe work practices throughout manufacturing operations

3. Project Support & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Support manufacturing improvement projects from concept through implementation
• Work closely with production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, operators, and technicians to execute process improvements
• Participate in Kaizen activities and Lean initiatives focused on throughput, quality, safety, and operational performance
