Job Description:

** Job Overview*
* We are looking for a forward-thinking
** Manufacturing Process Engineering Supervisor
** to lead and develop a team of engineers and technicians supporting critical production processes across our manufacturing operations, with a strong focus on CNC machining, precision manufacturing, process stability, and continuous improvement.

This role is responsible for strengthening day-to-day manufacturing performance while also helping shape the long-term process engineering roadmap for the site. The successful candidate will bring a strong foundation in CNC manufacturing, process engineering, equipment capability, tooling, automation, and data-driven problem solving.

While CNC machining is a major focus of this role, the position is broader than CNC support alone. This leader will also support process improvement, new product introduction, capital equipment planning, production ramp-up, and cross-functional manufacturing initiatives that improve quality, cost, delivery, safety, and productivity.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate at both the strategic and tactical level - supporting daily manufacturing needs while also helping advance the plant's long-term manufacturing and precision machining capabilities.

** Responsibilities:*
* + Lead and mentor a team of manufacturing engineers and technicians supporting CNC machining, precision manufacturing, tooling, automation, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

+ Develop, implement, and improve manufacturing processes that support safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and cost objectives.

+ Provide technical leadership for CNC machining processes, including process optimization, tooling strategy, setup reduction, machine capability, production troubleshooting, and standard work.

+ Partner with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Product Engineering, and Operations leadership to resolve chronic manufacturing issues and improve process performance.

+ Drive process optimization through data analysis, root cause investigation, corrective action, standard work, and continuous improvement methods.

+ Support new product introduction, product transfers, and process changes by ensuring manufacturability, process stability, documentation readiness, and production scalability.

+ Lead process validation activities, capability studies, risk assessments, and production readiness reviews for new or modified processes, including CNC machining and other precision manufacturing operations.

+ Identify and justify capital equipment, tooling, automation, and manufacturing technology investments based on business need, ROI, capacity, quality impact, and long-term manufacturing strategy.

+ Support the development of the site's CNC and precision manufacturing technology roadmap, including equipment upgrades, automation opportunities, process standardization, and future capability needs.

+ Build detailed business cases for capital expenditures, including cost-benefit analysis, capacity modeling, payback projections, and implementation planning.

+ Standardize best practices through work instructions, process documentation, training materials, visual management, and operator support.

+ Champion Lean manufacturing initiatives, including 5S, Value Stream Mapping, Standard Work, Visual Management, SMED, waste reduction, and flow improvement.

+ Utilize data analytics and key performance indicators to identify opportunities related to downtime, yield, scrap, labor efficiency, machine utilization, throughput, and process variation.

+ Lead cross-functional improvement projects from problem definition through implementation, verification, and sustainment.

** What your background should look like*
* + Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
