• Support Six Sigma methodologies and data‑driven improvement activities.
• Enhance standard work practices and production flow.

• Conduct Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and ergonomic assessments.
• Support quality improvement activities through root cause analysis and process validation.

• Support CARA/major capital investment projects from justification through implementation.
• Assist with NPD transitions from engineering validation to production validation.
• Provide cross‑functional leadership to ensure project success.

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field.
• 7–10 years of experience in manufacturing, production engineering, or quality engineering.
• Strong experience in process engineering, process flow, and manufacturing optimization.
• Proficiency with Solid Works and AutoCAD.
• Proven experience with CI, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma methodologies.

• Excellent analytical, communication, and problem‑solving abilities.

• Microsoft Office proficiency.
• Experience with material flow, work instructions, and visual factory concepts.
• Industrial engineering background or exposure.
• Familiarity with production documentation systems and process controls.

Due to increased project workload and identified inefficiencies within manufacturing, this role will directly support key improvement initiatives. You’ll help re‑engineer processes, reduce bottlenecks, and ensure the production team continues to operate safely, efficiently, and at scale.
