• Implement strategies to reduce non-value-added time and improve labor efficiency without compromising quality.
• Provide weekly reporting on labor utilization, project progress, and resource constraints.

• Drive improvements in build processes, documentation, and workflow to enhance throughput and reduce rework.
• Support implementation of lean manufacturing principles, 5S, and standard work.
• Collaborate with Production Support Engineering to refine build instructions, BOM accuracy, and manufacturability.

• Ensure the production floor is organized, safe, and compliant with company and industry standards.
• Partner with Supply Chain to manage material availability and minimize production delays.
• Participate in production planning meetings and contribute to schedule development.

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, preferably in semiconductor equipment, capital equipment, or complex electromechanical systems.
