About The Position

As part of our dynamic manufacturing team, you’ll play a key role in driving operational excellence and continuous improvement. Your responsibilities will include developing methods, tooling, and techniques to reduce setup time, changeovers, and equipment operation effort. You will implement cycle time reduction strategies in bottleneck manufacturing cells and troubleshoot machining processes and PLC programs (Siemens & Allen Bradley). Additionally, you will modify manufacturing processes to enhance safety, quality, cost efficiency, or accommodate design changes. Supporting financial goals through budgeting, expenditure scheduling, and project budget management will also be part of your role. You will manage capital projects, including equipment specs, runoffs, installation, and contractor coordination, while updating and maintaining equipment and production layout drawings. Developing engineering solutions for recurring equipment/process failures and identifying and delivering departmental training to boost skill levels will be essential. You will review and coordinate TPM, PM, proactive and predictive maintenance programs to maximize uptime, own PFMEA, control plans, and process flows in collaboration with the Quality Engineer, and support shop floor teams with problem-solving and standard work instruction development. Managing external contractors for process and equipment improvements and collaborating across all levels to enhance machinery and manufacturing processes will be key aspects of your job. Finally, you will lead Kaizen activities and document outcomes while understanding key environmental aspects and related operational controls.
