About The Position

The Process Engineer is responsible for determining operations to produce product and develop processes to ensure quality, cost, increased productivity, and reduced cycle time and scrap. This role involves writing work instructions, procedures, and techniques, as well as reviewing and implementing customer-supplied drawings and specification flow-down. The engineer will analyze problems and develop solutions with minor technical direction, design fixturing for self-identified operation improvements, and update/review KPIV control charts and control limits. They will also review changes in incoming raw materials for potential process impact, and review, monitor, and improve tooling/equipment. The position requires designing new tooling for process improvements with additional engineering support, and collecting, processing, mining, and interpreting data to implement improvements. Furthermore, the Process Engineer will design and oversee process experiments to determine the causes of defects and improve process methods and raw materials, and support junior engineers. A key aspect of the role is reducing variability through continuous improvement, focusing on improving measurements and capabilities for raw materials, input variables, process yields, and response variables using statistical process control (SPC) and never-ending improvement (NEI) methods. The engineer will focus on key department metrics such as scrap, rework, and process yield, and improve the use and integration of SPC tools and techniques to enhance process predictability. Conducting gauge repeatability and reproducibility studies to correct gauge error greater than 30% is also a responsibility. The role involves discussing and improving design issues, procedures, and techniques with departmental supervisors and product engineers, reviewing and controlling process parameters, and reviewing, designing, and implementing part set-ups/gating design to eliminate variability. Identifying and addressing safety considerations within the scope of job/area responsibilities, and specifying and justifying major equipment purchases and building modifications are also part of the duties.
