Job summary

Auxly is seeking a Production Improvement Engineer to own process design, SOP creation and maintenance, and data analytics on throughput and downtime.

You will lead improvement projects, onboard new equipment, and partner with Maintenance, Commercial and packaging to ensure launches run reliably at known costs.

Additionally, you will model capacity, estimate labor and run-rate impacts, and document best practices for the manufacturing floor.

Qualifications

• Degree or diploma in industrial/mechanical engineering, process engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in manufacturing process improvement.
• Experience with SOP writing and document control in a regulated manufacturing environment.
• Comfortable working with production data and BI/analytics tools.
• Experience commissioning new equipment or production lines is a strong asset.
• Ability to estimate production costs for Commercial input.
• Able to work cross-functionally with floor leadership and packaging teams.

Responsibilities

• Analyze production data (throughput, downtime, yield, changeover time) to identify improvement opportunities across cells and shifts.
• Write, revise, and maintain SOPs and work instructions for production equipment and processes.
• Lead process improvement projects from problem definition through implementation and validation.
• Own onboarding of new equipment and production lines—commissioning, operator training materials, initial SOPs.
• Partner with Maintenance to root-cause recurring equipment failures and design out chronic issues.
• Support capacity planning by modeling how staffing, equipment, and shift structure changes affect output.
• Support new product and packaging development: work with the packaging specialist to confirm new formats and materials run reliably on existing equipment before launch, flagging changes needed to tooling, SOPs, or line setup.
• Estimate production cost and throughput impact of proposed new products/packaging alongside Commercial, prior to launch commitment.
• Run and document trial/pilot runs for new products, translating results into go/no-go input for Commercial and the Production Manager.
• Track and report improvement initiatives and new product development status to the Production Manager.

Job description

Auxly is an international cannabis company dedicated to bringing innovative, effective, and high-quality cannabis products to the medical, wellness and adult-use markets. Auxly's experienced team of industry first-movers and enterprising visionaries have secured a diversified supply of raw cannabis, strong clinical, scientific, and operating capabilities and leading research and development infrastructure in order to create trusted products and brands in an expanding global market.

Position Summary

Owns continuous improvement across production — process design, SOP creation and maintenance, data and analytics on throughput and downtime, and leading the onboarding of new equipment and production lines. Also the production-side voice on new product and packaging development, ensuring what Commercial and the packaging specialist want to launch can run reliably on existing equipment at a known cost before it's committed to.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze production data (throughput, downtime, yield, changeover time) to identify improvement opportunities across cells and shifts.
• Write, revise, and maintain SOPs and work instructions for production equipment and processes.
• Lead process improvement projects from problem definition through implementation and validation.
• Own onboarding of new equipment and production lines — commissioning, operator training materials, initial SOPs.
• Partner with Maintenance to root-cause recurring equipment failures and design out chronic issues.
• Support capacity planning by modeling how staffing, equipment, and shift structure changes affect output.
• Support new product and packaging development: work with the packaging specialist to confirm new formats and materials run reliably on existing equipment before launch, flagging changes needed to tooling, SOPs, or line setup.
• Estimate production cost and throughput impact of proposed new products/packaging alongside Commercial, prior to launch commitment — labour, changeover time, run rate, scrap/waste expectations.
• Run and document trial/pilot runs for new products, translating results into go/no-go input for Commercial and the Production Manager.
• Track and report improvement initiatives and new product development status to the Production Manager.

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree or diploma in industrial/mechanical engineering, process engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in manufacturing process improvement.
• Experience with SOP writing and document control in a regulated manufacturing environment.
• Comfortable working with production data — spreadsheets at minimum; BI/analytics tools a plus.
• Experience commissioning new equipment or production lines is a strong asset.
• Comfortable estimating production costs (labour, run rate, waste) well enough to give Commercial a credible early read.
• Able to work cross-functionally with floor leadership and Commercial/packaging teams without formal authority over them.
