**** Essential Function:
** Lead and develop a manufacturing engineering team responsible for driving product quality improvement, reducing defects, and eliminating waste across manufacturing processes. This role focuses on applying engineering principles, data-driven analysis, and Lean methodologies to optimize process capability, improve first-pass yield, and enhance overall operational performance.
*
* Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

** Team Leadership & Development
* Lead, coach, and develop a team of manufacturing engineers to proactively identify and eliminate sources of variation, defects, and inefficiencies.
* Foster a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and data-driven decision-making.
* Own the integrity of manufacturing routers, operations sequence, and cycle times.

Quality & Continuous Improvement
* Drive structured problem-solving initiatives (e.g., root cause analysis, corrective/preventive actions) to reduce defects and improve product quality.
* Implement and sustain robust engineering controls, including control plans, SPC, and process monitoring systems to ensure ongoing process stability.
* Lead cross-functional efforts to improve first-pass yield and reduce rework and scrap.

Lean Manufacturing & Waste Elimination
* Champion Lean principles (e.g., value stream mapping, standard work, 5S, flow optimization) to identify and remove non-value-added activities in manufacturing processes.
* Analyze workflows, layouts, and material movement to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce cycle times, and improve throughput

Data-Driven Process Optimization
* Partner with manufacturing teams to collect, analyze, and interpret process data to identify trends, variation, and improvement opportunities.
* Establish performance metrics and use statistical tools to drive continuous process improvement and sustain gains
* Use cycle time and routing data as inputs for capacity models, bottleneck analysis, and improvement prioritization

Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Work closely with operations, quality, and supply chain teams to prioritize and execute improvement initiatives that impact product quality and cost.
* Support new product introductions by ensuring manufacturing processes are capable, repeatable, and aligned with quality standards

Equipment & Process Capability
* Evaluate equipment and process capability to ensure alignment with quality requirements and production goals.
* Lead teams through installation and validation of equipment with a focus on improving process robustness and reducing part variability.

Project & Strategy Execution
* Develop and manage improvement roadmaps focused on defect reduction, cost savings, and process capability enhancement.
* Report on key performance indicators and project progress to leadership,…
