Process Engineer Tech (Days)

TTM•Forest Grove, OR

About The Position

The Process Engineer Tech supports manufacturing operations by assisting with the production of difficult parts and using observations and production data to improve methods. The role interprets part drawings and product specifications and consults with engineering, quality control, and management on quality-related decisions. It troubleshoots processes during line-down situations and coordinates repairs and related work among production, maintenance, facilities, engineering, production control, shipping, and waste treatment to maintain production demand. The position works constructively with production operators, checks that quality and safety standards are met, evaluates process data, and prepares reports and visual materials to document methods and proposed workflow, routing, floor-layout, material-handling, or machine-utilization changes. It maintains accurate records of daily work and implemented or proposed solutions, completes process-related administrative functions, and contributes to projects that improve yield, throughput, and capability. The role requires working knowledge of manufacturing tools and machines, printed circuit board assembly, relevant software, and the TTM Registration system. It also involves complying with TTM export-control procedures and applicable laws, including requirements for identifying controlled products and handling visitors, technical data, shipments, and vendor approvals.
