• Embed Lean manufacturing into our DNA. You will drive Value Stream Mapping, 5S, and Kaizen events to eliminate waste and optimize flow.
• Act as the lead for root-cause analysis and implement sustainable technical solutions to complex manufacturing challenges.
• As we scale, you will identify opportunities for new manufacturing technologies and automation to improve our performance across SQDCP (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People).
• Work hand-in-hand with Engineering, Quality, EHS, and Supply Chain teams to ensure our designs are manufacturable and our outputs exceed customer expectations.
