Preferred Qualifications

Advanced degree in a relevant engineering field.

Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills.

Proven ability to manage projects, solve complex problems, and communicate across technical and non-technical teams.

Familiarity with structured continuous improvement systems like ACE, CORE, or similar.

Why This Role Matters

Career growth. Join a company that values technical excellence, continuous improvement, and leadership development.
