Build Better Processes. Make a Difference.

Are you an engineer who wants to do more than improve a production line? At The Baker Company in Sanford, Maine, you’ll use your engineering skills to solve real manufacturing challenges while helping produce equipment that protects scientists, supports critical research, and contributes to work that helps people. As a hands‑on Process Engineer, you’ll turn ideas into practical solutions on the factory floor—improving quality, safety, efficiency, yield, and flow while working with exciting technologies such as collaborative robotics (cobots), automation, 3-D printing/additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and innovative tooling.

From identifying an opportunity to implementing a solution and seeing the results in production, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact—not only on how we manufacture, but on the products we build and the people they ultimately serve.

SUMMARY

The Process Engineer reports to the Manufacturing Operations Manager and plays a hands‑on role in shaping how work gets done on the factory floor. This position leads and supports process improvement initiatives focused on yield, cycle time, quality, cost, safety, and manufacturing flow while helping bring new equipment and processes successfully into production. The Process Engineer will have the opportunity to work with and expand emerging manufacturing technologies, including collaborative robotics (cobots), 3-D printing/additive manufacturing, automation, rapid prototyping, and innovative production tooling.

From developing concepts and solving shop‑floor problems to programming equipment, optimizing processes, and implementing new methods, this role offers the opportunity to turn ideas into practical solutions that can be seen and measured in production. The Process Engineer also develops and improves process documentation, work instructions, training, and transfer criteria to ensure new processes are implemented safely, effectively, and sustainably.

This position is physically located in Sanford, Maine.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Create detailed work instructions and visual aids to support acceptable production productivity and quality standards.
• Estimate production set up and run times, material costs, and perform time studies to provide cost analysis.
• Propose, sponsor and lead projects that improve manufacturing performance, reduce costs, improve yields, or reduce cycle times using Lean manufacturing tools. Analyze work flow, space requirements, and equipment layouts.
• Assist in designing testing methods to evaluate process capabilities, establish standards, and validate process requirements.
• Work with plant safety and engineering groups to ensure manufacturing processes, equipment, and proposed improvements meet applicable safety requirements.
• Create and maintain production data and Routings (Bills of Operations).
• Assist with the selection, installation, setup, and startup of machines and equipment within production areas, including programming, work holding, and fixturing.
• Support collaborative robotics (cobot) applications - from identifying opportunities and developing concepts through programming, integration, and continuous improvement - to make work safer, smarter, and more productive.
• Help drive the adoption and expansion of 3-D printing/additive manufacturing, using rapid prototyping and production tooling to move ideas from concept to the shop floor faster.
• Make every effort to focus on…
