The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer is responsible for owning, defining, and sustaining manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution, stability, and quality across production. This role focuses on process discipline, standardization, and control, using statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis as tools to monitor performance, detect variation, and drive corrective action.

This position is embedded directly on the SMT production floor and requires a continuous on-floor presence. The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer works alongside operators, technicians, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production teams on the line to establish clear process expectations, maintain control plans and reaction plans, and ensure processes are followed, understood, and capable over time. This is a hands-on, floor-based role, not a desk-based or remote engineering position.

Essential duties and responsibilities include:

• Manufacturing process ownership
• Process control and stability
• SPC and data-driven enforcement
• Continuous improvement and problem solving
• Cross-functional and floor engagement
• Quality and compliance support

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or a related technical field required
• 4-6 years of experience in SPC, process control, quality engineering, or manufacturing engineering
• Experience in a manufacturing environment required

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in electronics manufacturing or regulated manufacturing environments preferred

Knowledge, skills, and abilities:

• Advanced knowledge of statistical process control and process capability analysis
• Experience with SPC methodologies, control charts, and reaction planning
• Proficiency with statistical analysis tools (e.g., Minitab, Excel)
• Working knowledge of PFMEA, control plans, and process validation
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and influence cross-functional teams

Physical demands:

• Regular standing, walking, and sitting in a manufacturing environment
• Occasional lifting up to 25 pounds
• Frequent use of computer and analytical tools

Work environment:

• Manufacturing and SMT production floor environment
• Primary work location is on the production floor and SMT line, not in an engineering office area
• Moderate noise levels typical of a production environment
• Daily, continuous on-site presence required to support operations and real-time process control
