About The Position

As a Process Engineer, you'll own the elimination of process losses for a designated production process. You'll be the technical backbone of the operation — using data to find where quality and reliability are slipping, then leading the fixes: from equipment standards and change management to troubleshooting and cross-plant knowledge sharing.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Chemical, Mechanical, Industrial, or a related discipline)
Experience in a manufacturing or process engineering role, ideally in a fast-paced production environment
Strong data analysis and problem-solving skills; comfortable turning process data into prioritized action
Familiarity with Lean/Six Sigma methods, root-cause analysis, and statistical process control
Experience with centerline setting/optimization and DOE (Design of Experiments) methods
Experience leading change management or validation processes for equipment or procedures
Confident troubleshooter who can lead others through technical failures under pressure
Strong communication skills — able to train others and influence across functions
Willingness to spend the majority of your time on the plant floor

Responsibilities

Own engineering of assigned equipment/processes
Lead root-cause resolution and defect elimination
Lead centerline setting and optimization
Lead CI and loss-elimination projects
Lead capital project execution
Lead standard work and SOP technical content
Lead startups and changes
Contribute to Process Reliability (PR) improvement
Identify, prioritize, and eliminate process losses
Build process capability and control (PQM / MU)
Provide feedback to design and lead smart standardization deployment
Define equipment standards
Lead change management and validation processes
Lead and build the team's capability in technical troubleshooting of process failures
Lead process benchmarking and reapplication across sites
Execute the technical side of capital projects, startups, and changes
Help capture tribal knowledge and load it into team training (e.g., Augmentir)
Design, implement, and maintain systems to collect and analyze data on critical product and process parameters
Use that data to identify process losses
Work with line management to prioritize improvement opportunities
Eliminate or reduce prioritized losses by changing processes or work systems
Participate in daily direction-setting — report results, flag issues, and request resources
Own critical daily management systems, e.g. center-lining (run-to-target)
Standardize equipment and work processes; own the change management system for your designated process; update control strategies and operating procedures as changes occur
Share and reapply learnings across processes, modules, and plants
Prepare and deliver training on process and equipment changes
Grow your own capability through corporate and external training
