Process Engineer

Process Engineer

This Process Engineer role focuses on developing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes for non-released and new products in a highly automated production environment. You will work closely with the production team to ensure correct tooling, support new product development activities, and lead data-driven process improvement projects that enhance quality, yield, efficiency, and productivity. The position offers many growth opportunities in a culture that encourages collaboration, continuous improvement, and innovation.

Responsibilities

• Work with the production team on non-released products to ensure processes are robust, repeatable, and ready for full-scale manufacturing.
• Verify that machine tooling is correct and aligned with product and process requirements, particularly for new product development activities.
• Diagnose tooling and machine issues, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement sustaining activities to maintain stable operations.
• Lead process improvement projects to increase quality, yield, efficiency, and productivity across manufacturing lines.
• Plan and conduct Design of Experiments (DOE) to optimize manufacturing processes and validate process changes.
• Use Six Sigma and DMAIC methodologies to identify root causes of process issues and implement effective corrective and preventive actions.
• Perform process capability studies and analyze manufacturing performance using statistical tools to ensure processes meet capability targets.
• Investigate yield losses, drive troubleshooting efforts, and follow issues through to resolution.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing standards, process windows, work instructions, and best practices to support consistent production.
• Support production readiness activities and manage the transition of processes into full-scale manufacturing.
• Collaborate closely with Operations, Quality, and Engineering teams to improve assembly and manufacturing processes.
• Present technical findings, data analyses, and recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders in a clear and concise manner.
• Research, evaluate, and implement new manufacturing technologies and process improvements to enhance overall performance.

Essential Skills

• 5+ years of Process Engineering experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong experience in process engineering, process improvement, and manufacturing engineering.
• Hands-on experience with manufacturing processes and tooling, including diagnosing machine tool issues.
• Practical experience with Design of Experiments (DOE) and DOE software.
• Experience applying Six Sigma and DMAIC methodologies for root cause analysis and process improvement.
• Proficiency with statistical analysis tools such as Minitab and/or JMP.
• Demonstrated ability to perform process capability studies and interpret statistical data.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven mindset.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and presentations.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering; relevant experience may substitute for formal education.
• Experience supporting new product development and transitioning processes into full-scale production.
• Familiarity with Solid Works for mechanical or tooling design and review.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD for layout, tooling, or process documentation.
• Experience working in highly automated manufacturing environments.
• Ability to research and adopt new manufacturing technologies and process innovations.

Work Environment

This role is based in a highly automated manufacturing environment in North America, offering flexible daytime work hours such as 8:00–5:00 or 7:00–4:00. The facility is climate controlled to provide a comfortable and stable working atmosphere. The culture emphasizes growth, continuous improvement, and a supportive environment, with amenities such as an on-site cafeteria and recreational games to encourage collaboration and work-life balance.
