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.
