The Process Engineer is responsible for the design, optimization, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes to ensure efficient, reliable, and high-quality production. This role will work closely with the assembly area, New Product Introduction (NPI) teams, and cross-functional departments to analyze, improve, and implement process changes. The focus will be on reducing quality issues, enhancing productivity, improving safety and ergonomics, and supporting cost-reduction initiatives.

Responsibilities

- Design and optimize manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, productivity, capacity, and cost-effectiveness.
- Analyze process flows and equipment utilization, identifying and eliminating efficiencies and bottlenecks.
- Conduct capacity modeling and cost analysis to support process improvements.
- Lead the implementation of continuous improvement initiatives using Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and other methodologies.
- Implement error-proofing solutions (e.g., poka-yoke) to reduce defects and enhance quality.
- Identify areas for waste reduction and drive initiatives to improve throughput and resource utilization.
- Use engineering tools (e.g., mathematical modeling, process simulation, statistical analysis) to analyze and refine manufacturing processes.
- Design new processes or refine existing ones to eliminate non-value-added activities and improve efficiency.
- Analyze and optimize workflow layouts and equipment placement to maximize space utilization and improve process efficiency.




- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design ergonomic workstations that improve productivity and safety.
- Lead and participate in problem-solving teams to resolve production issues, implementing root cause analysis and corrective actions to improve process reliability.
- Develop and implement corrective actions to address quality, safety, and efficiency concerns within the manufacturing processes.

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, or Process Engineering, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Proficiency with JIT, Poka Yoke, Kanban, Cell Layout, and other lean manufacturing principles.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including knowledge of probability, statistical analysis, and mathematical modeling.
- Ability to apply mathematical concepts such as fractions, percentages, ratios, and proportions to process optimization scenarios.
- Expertise in process mapping, flow chart creation, and using problem-solving methodologies like 8D and root cause analysis.
- Knowledge of statistical methods, design of experiments, and process failure mode analysis (PFMEA).
- Ability to interpret complex instructions (written, oral, or diagrammatic) and adapt them to practical applications in process engineering.
- Proven experience in leading teams and collaborating with cross-functional departments.
- Knowledge of ESD program management and process transfer methods is a plus.
