Manufacturing Engineer

Position Summary: The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for optimizing the process capability of the assigned product group by developing and verifying processes, analyzing process flows, implementing performance improvements, and conducting long-term process monitoring.

This role ensures that production operations meet safety, quality, cost, and delivery objectives through process improvements, technical support, and continuous improvement initiatives.

The engineer acts as the technical liaison between design, production, quality, and maintenance teams to sustain and enhance product line performance.

Key Responsibilities: Safety & Compliance: Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards in all process designs and implementations.

Quality: Collaborate with Quality Assurance and implement best practices for process control.

Daily Operations: Ensure stable and efficient production processes to support execution of production plan.Train operators and supervisors on new processes, equipment, and quality standards.Provide technical guidance during equipment installation, qualification, and maintenance troubleshooting.

Process Standards: Update and maintain production standards in ERP (Standard Rates/Crewfactor)Develop, document, and maintain manufacturing process instructions, standard work, and operating procedures.

Process Improvement: Collaborate with Quality and Production teams to reduce setup times, improve cycle times and reduce scrap.Analyze production data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for cost reduction and process improvement.Design and validate tooling, fixtures, and process layouts to ensure ergonomic and efficient operations.Monitor and improve key performance indicators (KPIs) such as throughput, downtime, and quality metrics.Participate in cross-functional continuous improvement activities, including Lean, 5S, and Six Sigma initiatives.

Problem Solving: Actively participate in root cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for process-related issues, internal rejections, and customer complaints.
