Production Engineer

FUJIFILM Electronic Materials, U.S.A., Inc., is a global leader in chemical solutions which enable the semiconductor industry and the digital universe. We have an exciting opportunity at our Pueblo, CO facility for a Production Engineer.

The purpose of the Production Engineer I is to provide technical support to design, develop, troubleshoot, and characterize high volume manufacturing processes in a safe, environmentally sound, and economic manner.

The Production Engineer I is responsible for monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting performance of high-volume manufacturing processes in a safe, environmentally sound, and economic manner, and for leading routine improvement activities within assigned areas.

Key responsibilities for this role include:

• Ensure all production activities for assigned processes are carried out per written procedures with safety and quality at the forefront. Demonstrates competency and independence in identifying and correcting gaps in procedures and practices.
• Monitor daily production for high volume manufacturing processes for key processes; identify routine issues and implement corrective actions within defined authority.
• Document procedures for process of record for key processes/products, including SOPs, work instructions, Control Plans, FMEAs, and P&IDs review documents regularly to ensure accuracy and compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Verify and update batch records and other process documentation to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Support the scale-up, commissioning, and qualification of new and replacement systems; plan and execute assigned portions of projects with moderate supervision.
• Support and participate in environmental, safety and health and quality department programs and requirements.
• Conduct hazard assessments including Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), risk assessments, and other PSM-related reviews under the guidance of more senior engineers. Effective at identifying EHS-related issues and implementing corrective actions.
• Analyze statistical process control performance, out-of-control conditions, and trend alerts using data from production systems and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS); requires use of Excel, JMP or other statistical software. Conduct and document quality and process trend review investigations for assigned manufacturing areas.
• Work with Control System Engineers, laboratory staff, and Quality Engineers to ensure data accuracy and availability in control systems and LIMS, and to support data-based decision making.
• Perform root cause investigations into quality nonconformances and report findings to internal stakeholders. Demonstrate ability to investigate technical issues and effectively communicate findings.
• Generate Engineering Change Notices and prepare Management of Change (MOC) documentation as required for changes to manufacturing processes and equipment.
• Provide problem solving expertise for a wide range of chemical manufacturing systems and support development and implementation of engineering solutions.
• Responsible for planning and executing projects as assigned by supervisor. Demonstrates proactivity and technical competence in project management.
• Participate in customer meetings, audits and lead technical responses to customer complaints using 8D or customer formats as required.
• Provide guidance and training to entry level engineers and technicians on troubleshooting, documentation, and data analysis tasks.
• Able to work in a constant state of alertness and in a safe manner.
• Perform other duties, as assigned.

Requirements:

• BS in Chemical Engineering or related field.
• 1–2 years' experience in high volume chemical manufacturing; other technical disciplines with experience in automation, chemical manufacturing, or semiconductor manufacturing will be strongly considered.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, SPC, FMEAs, MOC, ECNs, and technical drawings and standards; demonstrated ability to apply engineering principles to moderately complex problems.
• Demonstrated innovative thinking and scientific/engineering approach to solve product development and manufacturing problems in…
