Build the future. Build your career. Build it at CBC USA.

The Process Engineer is responsible for developing, validating, documenting, supporting, and continuously improving manufacturing processes involving cold heading, transfer presses, mechanical presses, tooling, and related production equipment. This role provides hands‑on engineering support to maintain safe, efficient, reliable, and repeatable production operations.

The ideal candidate will have a mechanical or manufacturing engineering background, hands‑on experience in a high‑volume manufacturing environment, and a strong understanding of lean manufacturing principles. The position works cross‑functionally to resolve production issues, optimize equipment and tooling performance, improve process capability, and maintain operating standards.

• Support the ongoing qualification, modification, and performance improvement of manufacturing equipment.
• Partner with equipment manufacturers, contractors, and internal stakeholders to ensure machinery operates according to design requirements and production standards.
• Develop, validate, maintain, and improve manufacturing processes for cold heading, transfer presses, mechanical presses, tooling, and related operations.
• Establish machine parameters, operating standards, work sequences, cycle times, and process controls.
• Lead production trials and capability studies to confirm equipment and processes meet safety, quality, throughput, and reliability requirements.
• Troubleshoot equipment and process issues and implement sustainable corrective actions that support stable production.
• Identify and address production risks, bottlenecks, process constraints, and opportunities to improve capacity.
• Support ongoing operational needs, including spare‑parts planning, tooling requirements, preventive maintenance, and operator training.

• Provide technical support for tooling selection, setup, maintenance, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
• Work closely with production, maintenance, quality, and equipment suppliers to resolve tooling and equipment‑related issues.
• Analyze tool wear, equipment performance, material flow, downtime, scrap, and process variation.
• Recommend tooling, equipment, or process modifications to improve safety, quality, productivity, and equipment reliability.
• Assist in developing tooling standards, changeover procedures, and tool‑life management practices.
• Support root‑cause investigations involving equipment failures, tooling problems, quality defects, and production interruptions.

• Apply lean manufacturing principles to equipment layout, workflow, material movement, changeovers, and production processes.
• Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives using tools such as 5S, standard work, value‑stream mapping, SMED, mistake‑proofing, visual management, and root‑cause analysis.
• Develop methods to reduce cycle time, scrap, rework, downtime, and unnecessary material handling.
• Establish meaningful process metrics and use production data to identify trends and improvement…
