Schneider Electric is seeking a dynamic individual to serve as a Manufacturing Engineer at our Lexington KY location.

As the Manufacturing Engineer you will be responsible for deploying Lean methods & concepts to drive continuous improvement across a variety of processes and equipment.

You will perform a variety of engineering work related to safety, quality, manufacturing processes, process design/layout, ergonomics, capacity, cost analysis, and capital investments.

What will you do?


* Specializes in several areas of knowledge regarding production / manufacturing processes: process design/layout, ergonomics, safety, capacity, simulation tools, capital investment, and cost analysis


* Works to resolve daily and long-term problems/projects using manufacturing, quality, and Schneider Production System tools which may include VSM (value stream mapping), SMED (single minute exchange of dies), 8-Wastes, Takt Time, Jidoka, PokaYoke, Kaizen, MTM (motion & time movements) LADM (Line Architecture Design Methodology), MPH (Material Providing & Handling) and Six Sigma ( PFMEA, Control Plan, 8D, etc).


* Develop & lead projects by applying 6 sigma principles to conduct process flow analysis, improve process time, create cycle time definitions, improve 1st pass yield, reduce process variation, and improve process stability.


* Responsible for monitoring efficiency indicators, KE (ratio Design Time / Operation Time), OEE(overall equip effectiveness), NEE (Net Equipment Efficiency, the ratio "Useful Time / Plant Operating Time) and to take actions to improve the efficiency and capacity of the line.


* Supports process tooling, fixtures, and equipment design, purchase, and maintenance along with development of capital expenditure proposals.


* Manages Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) by updating material, Bill of Materials (BOMs), and routings when modifications are required by Engineering
