You’ll collaborate with Manufacturing and Process Engineering teams and take ownership of key engineering processes, helping us move toward a more efficient and capability‑driven future.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead the design, development, standardization, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, tooling, and systems to meet customer and internal demand, with strong focus on safety, quality, and productivity.
• Support manufacturing and quality teams by ensuring processes and controls consistently meet or exceed customer expectations, troubleshooting issues, and enabling fast problem resolution—including direct customer communication when needed.
• Collaborate with operations across all shifts to effectively implement process changes, and with quality teams on customer issues, ensuring aligned and timely responses.
• Use your skills in process engineering, tooling, equipment selection, and analytical problem‑solving to improve production performance, documentation, and standardization of work practices.
• Continuously learn and share knowledge by staying updated on new manufacturing technologies, recommending improvements, and overseeing development of new methods, equipment, and production controls.

What We're Looking For

• At least 10+ years of related experience in a manufacturing environment, with strong knowledge of precision machining processes (grinding, honing, lapping) and time‑study/estimation expertise.
• Hands‑on experience with PFMEA, APQP, PPAP, Control Plans, SPC, MSA, structured problem‑solving (7‑Step PDCA / 8D), Lean Manufacturing, systematic layout planning, and familiarity with tools, sensors, vision systems, and assembly equipment; proficiency in AutoCAD / Pro‑E.
• Ability to work effectively across all levels—from the shop floor to management—and support cross‑functional problem solving and implementation activities.
• Strong communication and documentation skills, enabling clear interaction with internal teams and customers on technical issues and resolutions.
• Proactive ownership, strong problem‑solving orientation, continuous improvement mindset, and ability to drive results throughout the project lifecycle; knowledge of ISO9001/TS16949 standards preferred.

What You'll Get From Us

• We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well‑being matters to us.
