• Comfortable working on the shop floor and building rapport with operators and production teams.
• Practical, hands-on mindset—comfortable prototyping with basic tools/materials and iterating quickly.
• Analytical thinking with the ability to break down problems and test simple, effective solutions.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; able to listen to operator feedback and translate it into action.
• Self-motivated, curious, and comfortable taking initiative on small projects with limited direction.

Nice To Haves

• Prior exposure to Lean/Six Sigma tools (5S, kaizen, A3, standard work) is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Spend regular time on the production floor observing work, identifying pain points, and partnering with operators to understand day-to-day challenges.
• Design, prototype, and implement small-scale, low-cost solutions (fixtures, visual aids, tooling adjustments, workstation layouts) that reduce operator strain, cycle time, or variation.
• Apply Lean and Six Sigma tools—5S, standard work, value stream mapping, kaizen events, A3 problem solving, and visual management—to drive measurable improvements.
• Build and test quick, iterative prototypes (using basic fabrication, 3D printing, or off-the-shelf materials) to validate ideas before full-scale implementation.
• Act as a resource and advocate for operators, capturing their feedback and translating it into actionable improvement projects.
• Lead small-to-medium CI projects from idea generation through implementation and follow-up, tracking results and sharing out lessons learned.
• Partner with manufacturing engineers, quality, and production supervisors to align improvements with broader operational goals.
• Ensure all improvements maintain or enhance safety and comply with current standards and procedures.

Benefits

• Relocation Assistance: Reimbursement for reasonable expenditures for employees with a permanent address >50 miles from the work location.
