This is a hands-on engineering position that works closely with production to improve workflow, increase throughput, reduce labor and processing time, resolve production issues, and support the safe and cost-effective manufacture of our products. The successful candidate must have Lean Six Sigma experience and the ability to independently design, develop, and troubleshoot manufacturing tooling and fixtures. This position will also lead projects, develop procedures and standard operating procedures, and support continuous-improvement initiatives throughout the operation. Essential Duties and Responsibilities Evaluate existing manufacturing and assembly processes to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, quality concerns, and improvement opportunities. Partner closely with production employees and leadership to improve workflow, throughput, safety, quality, and overall manufacturing performance. Lead manufacturing and process-improvement projects from initial analysis through implementation and follow-up. Design, develop, test, implement, and troubleshoot tooling, fixtures, workholding devices, and other manufacturing equipment. Apply Lean Six Sigma principles and tools to reduce waste, improve process capability, and support continuous improvement. Conduct time studies, workflow analyses, line-balancing activities, and equipment or floor-layout evaluations. Develop and implement new manufacturing methods, processes, tools, and technologies. Create, revise, and maintain manufacturing procedures, standard operating procedures, work instructions, and related documentation. Support production personnel in the day-to-day execution of manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and testing activities. Investigate production problems, determine root causes, and implement corrective or preventive actions. Support PFMEA, process-capability reviews, SPC activities, continuous-improvement studies, and design-of-experiment activities as needed. Participate in Kaizen events and the implementation of 5S, visual manufacturing, flow-line, and other Lean practices. Support new-product development and provide design-for-manufacturability recommendations. Assist with manufacturing cost estimates, tooling estimates, capital requests, and equipment procurement. Help ensure manufacturing processes, tooling, and equipment comply with applicable quality and safety requirements. Perform other related duties as assigned.
