About The Position

The Manufacturing Process Engineer 2 leads risk-reduction projects from problem definition and prioritization through piloting, implementation, validation, and sustainment. The role works with manufacturing, facilities, engineering, site safety, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, skilled trades, suppliers, and other stakeholders to identify and reduce operational risk.

The engineer applies design-in safety principles throughout planning, risk assessment, design review, commissioning, start-up, and final-location verification. The position also translates risk findings, field observations, incident learnings, user feedback, and operational data into controls, standard work, specifications, and design improvements. It evaluates emerging technologies that may improve risk identification, control effectiveness, or decision quality, and produces documentation, updates, training, and adoption plans to sustain improvements and share proven practices.

• Experience with risk assessments, hazard analyses, design reviews, corrective-action plans, or control verification.
• Strong analytical, written, verbal, and visual communication skills, including the ability to explain technical risk to operators, engineers, suppliers, and leadership.
• Willingness to work onsite and visit operating areas, project locations, and suppliers as required.
• 2–10 years of experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead risk-reduction projects from problem definition and prioritization through pilot, implementation, validation, and sustainment.
• Partner with manufacturing, facilities, engineering, site safety, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, skilled trades, suppliers, and other stakeholders to identify and reduce risk.
• Apply design-in safety principles during planning, risk assessment, design review, commissioning, start-up, and final-location verification.
• Facilitate hazard analyses and risk assessments, documenting hazards, required controls, residual risk, and corrective actions.
• Translate risk findings, field observations, incident learnings, user feedback, and operational data into controls, standard work, specifications, and upstream design improvements.
• Track risks, dependencies, decisions, and corrective actions to closure, and escalate unresolved high-risk issues with options and recommendations.
• Evaluate emerging capabilities, including AI, computer vision, automation, analytics, wearables, and low-code tools, to improve risk identification, control effectiveness, or decision quality.
• Create technical documentation, leadership updates, training materials, and adoption plans to support sustainment.
