Process Engineer

As a Senior Process Engineer, Mechanical Assembly you will serve as the senior technical authority on the production floor during overnight hours, owning line performance, leading a team of technicians, and ensuring operational continuity in a high-complexity, automated manufacturing environment.

This is a critical role: night shift runs with reduced cross-functional support, requiring significant autonomy in decision-making, escalation judgment, and real-time problem solving.

You will bring deep mechanical intuition, strong leadership instincts, and a data-driven mindset to drive performance outcomes, mentor your team, and serve as a key feedback loop to daytime engineering and design teams.

• Serve as the senior technical authority on the floor during overnight hours, making autonomous decisions on escalations, downtime response, and operational continuity without day-shift support structures.
• Mentor, and set daily priorities for a team of night shift technicians, stabilizing line cadence, building team capability, and driving accountability to production targets.
• Track and analyze key performance indicators: specifically OEE, yield, and cycle times, to identify bottlenecks and implement data-driven improvements that carry forward to day-shift handoff.
• Apply strong mechanical intuition to assess equipment and process issues on the fly, ensuring that proposed fixes are robust, safe, and effective, not just stop-gaps.
• Document and communicate overnight issues clearly to day-shift engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure seamless continuity and unblock recurring production constraints.
• Initiate tactical CI projects on the floor to eliminate waste, improve operator ergonomics, and optimize machine reliability — including work that carries across shifts.
• Act as the voice of the shop floor by identifying human factors/usability challenges specific to night shift operation and communicating actionable design feedback to the system engineering team.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 4–7+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing, production, or fast-paced industrial operations environment; prior night shift or off-hours leadership experience strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated capability to manage, prioritize tasks for, and develop a technical team — including in high-pressure situations with limited escalation support.
• Strong familiarity with manufacturing metrics (OEE, downtime tracking) and a practical approach to root-cause analysis.
• A solid understanding of mechanical systems and automated equipment, allowing you to independently vet technical solutions and guide the implementation of floor-level fixes without waiting for day-shift backup.
