Process Engineer IV
About The Position
The Process Engineer IV drives manufacturing process improvements to optimize safety, quality, and efficiency. The role works with supervisors and operators to implement improvements and establishes equipment design criteria using engineering and manufacturing analysis in a capital-equipment-intensive environment. The position involves troubleshooting production equipment, engineering and commissioning new equipment, and collaborating with factory-floor personnel and multidisciplinary engineering groups to resolve complex machinery issues. It also includes evaluating equipment designs and performance with consideration for plant operability, safety, quality, and cost, as well as supplier selection and oversight of consulting contractors. The role is based in a manufacturing environment where machines with movable parts, heat, and chemicals are present. Company-provided personal protective equipment must be worn. Selection is contingent on meeting export-compliance eligibility requirements for access to U.S.-controlled technology under ITAR and EAR.
