About The Position
Work and lead independently to prepare, conduct, and evaluate analyses that plan improvements and solve manufacturing issues involving production methods and procedures. The role supports a specific function—including layout, production flow, tooling and production equipment, material fabrication, assembly methods, and planning—in a production or post-production environment. The position performs technical studies and operational analyses, develops manufacturing recommendations and detailed work instructions, supports corrective actions and rework, and creates manufacturing bills of material. It also contributes to production planning, process improvement, vendor and equipment evaluations, and cross-organizational projects. The role may assume the duties of the ME Group Head in their absence and assign, review, supervise, and train subordinate personnel.
