Manufacturing Operations Engineer
About The Position
The Manufacturing Operations (or Production) Engineer will remove all the obstacles necessary to guarantee that production runs smoothly and that the daily, weekly and monthly goals are met. The Engineer will also find ways to optimize the production line by applying Industrial Engineering and Lean Principles, such as “1 Piece-Flow”, “Small Batch Flow”, “Poka-Yoke Fixtures for Assembly”, “Workstations Ergonomics”, “Value Stream Mapping”, “5 S” and other methodologies lean methodologies as required. You will collaborate closely with Design and NPI Engineers on design changes to improve its manufacturability and time to assemble. You will maintain and update the manufacturing documents necessary to build the products such as BOMs, work instructions, fixture sketches (or drawings). You will ensure that the proper tools for assembly are in place, and that the workstations provide an ergonomic and efficient design for medium to high volume production.
