Execution Excellence & Risk Management

Drive time-to-market improvements through process optimization, parallel development strategies, and elimination of systemic inefficiencies.
Apply advanced engineering judgment to complex, ambiguous problems, independently making decisions, justifying risk, and escalating appropriately based on business impact.

Influence, Communication & Knowledge Leadership

Present clear, data-driven recommendations and project status to senior operations leadership (Manager, Director, VP level), translating technical complexity into actionable insights.
Mentor and provide technical guidance to engineers and cross-functional partners, strengthening organizational capability without direct supervisory responsibility.
Improvement of engineering standards, best practices, and knowledge systems, ensuring lessons learned are captured and reused across the enterprise.
Liaise closely with all levels of production, engineering, NPD, purchasing, and marketing providing clear information where necessary. Use relationships to maintain a network to support Production Strategies.
Present project status and escalations to multiple levels of operations leadership including Managers/Directors/VP.
This position will coordinate the development of systematic tool design and engineering functions required for production of products at Kohler Co. utilizing CAD technology.
