POSITION D

CRIPTION

Identify and execute manufacturing improvements that increase productivity, throughput, quality, safety, and cost performance.

Own improvement projects from problem identification through implementation, validation, and sustainment.

Work directly on the manufacturing floor to solve recurring problems, remove bottlenecks, and improve process flow.

Use data and structured problem solving to convert improvement opportunities into measurable operational and financial results.

EXPERIENCE:

What you need to be successful

Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.

Work from the floor

Spend time where the work occurs to understand the current condition, identify root causes, and develop practical solutions that can be implemented and sustained by the operation.

Manufacturing Process Improvement

Evaluate existing manufacturing processes and implement improvements that increase safety, quality, productivity, throughput, capacity, and cost performance. Identify waste, constraints, variation, and recurring operational issues.

Project Ownership

Lead manufacturing and Continuous Improvement projects from opportunity identification through implementation, validation, and sustainment. Establish clear objectives, actions, milestones, expected impact, and completion dates.

Technical Problem Solving

Lead structured root-cause investigations for manufacturing issues involving equipment, tooling, quality, productivity, labor, or process performance. Develop countermeasures, verify effectiveness, and prevent recurrence.

Fabrication and CNC Optimization

Improve fabrication, machining, CNC, assembly, and related manufacturing processes through setup reduction, cycle-time improvement, tooling optimization, process refinement, and improved methods.

Tooling, Fixtures and Equipment

Develop, modify, and improve tooling, fixtures, equipment, layouts, and manufacturing methods to improve repeatability, ergonomics, flow, quality, and operational performance.
