Original job description

Job Title: Continuous Improvement EngineerJob DescriptionThe Continuous Improvement Engineer plays a hands-on role in enhancing manufacturing and assembly processes, increasing efficiency, and supporting production operations. You will work primarily on the manufacturing floor to identify opportunities, solve problems, and implement sustainable process improvements using Lean, 5S, and continuous improvement methodologies. This position collaborates closely with cross-functional teams to develop and maintain robust processes, improve plant layout and material flow, and support new equipment and manufacturing technologies.

Responsibilities

Improve manufacturing and assembly processes to increase efficiency, quality, and throughput.
Lead continuous improvement and Lean initiatives across the manufacturing floor.
Perform time studies and line balancing to optimize labor utilization and production flow.
Improve workflow, plant layout, and material flow to reduce waste and enhance productivity.
Develop, maintain, and refine work instructions, bills of materials (BOMs), routings, and other process documentation.
Identify and eliminate waste using Lean principles, 5S, and other continuous improvement tools.
Troubleshoot production and process issues, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions.
Track and report improvements using production data and key performance indicators (KPIs).
Support the introduction of new equipment and manufacturing processes, ensuring smooth integration into production.
Partner with Engineering, Operations, Quality, Maintenance, and Supply Chain to align improvement initiatives with business objectives.
Develop and support a Lean management system to sustain continuous improvement activities.
Drive straight improvement processes focused on safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
Lead and support plant layout and 5S projects, ensuring organized, efficient, and safe work areas.
Support safety enhancements by identifying risks and implementing process changes that improve workplace safety.
Work closely with manufacturing teams to implement sound designs that meet cost targets and ease-of-assembly requirements.
Implement and sustain Lean Manufacturing Systems to ensure long-term process stability and performance.
Evaluate and resolve process-related issues that arise within manufacturing and production assembly.
Apply knowledge of design principles, particularly for large multicomponent assemblies, to improve manufacturability.
Collaborate on projects involving robotic welding and robotic fabrication to optimize automated processes.
Contribute to project management activities, including planning, execution, and follow-up on improvement projects.
Utilize CAD design capabilities and detailed work instructions to support process changes and improvements.

Essential Skills

Minimum of 3 years of experience in manufacturing, process engineering, or continuous improvement roles, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Minimum of 3 years of experience working in a manufacturing or production environment (preferred).
Proven experience improving manufacturing or assembly processes with measurable results.
Hands-on mechanical aptitude and strong problem-solving skills in a production setting.
Experience with Lean Manufacturing principles and tools.
Experience with 5S implementation and sustainment.
Experience performing time studies, line balancing, and workflow optimization.
Experience developing and maintaining work instructions, BOMs, routings, and process documentation.
Experience implementing and sustaining Lean Manufacturing Systems.

Knowledge of design principles related to large multicomponent assemblies.
Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Technology, or an equivalent technology degree (preferred), or equivalent experience.
Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
Ability to use data and KPIs to track, analyze, and communicate process improvements.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Lean Six Sigma experience, including exposure to structured problem-solving and statistical tools.
Experience with robotic welding and robotic fabrication processes.
Experience working with large mechanical assemblies in a manufacturing environment.
Experience supporting safety enhancements through process and layout changes.
Project management experience related to continuous improvement or manufacturing projects.
Experience with CAD design tools to support process and layout modifications.
Demonstrated success working with manufacturing teams to implement designs that meet cost and ease-of-assembly targets.
Experience developing and supporting a Lean management system.
Familiarity with fabrication processes and their integration into production workflows.

Work EnvironmentThis role is highly hands-on and primarily based on the manufacturing floor. Approximately 90% of your time will be spent in the business, identifying and executing improvement projects directly within production areas, and about 10% will be dedicated to office-based administrative tasks such as data analysis, documentation, and project planning. You will work closely with production teams, engineering, and other functions in an active manufacturing environment that involves large mechanical assemblies, fabrication operations, and potentially robotic welding and robotic fabrication equipment. The environment emphasizes Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement practices, with a strong focus on safety, organized workspaces, and efficient plant layouts. Standard manufacturing attire and appropriate personal protective equipment are expected to align with plant safety and operational requirements.
