Job description

The Process Engineer is a technical specialist responsible for designing, implementing, controlling, and optimizing industrial processes within a manufacturing or production environment. The primary goal is to ensure processes are efficient, safe, cost-effective, and capable of consistently producing products that meet strict quality specifications. This role focuses on translating product design requirements into repeatable, reliable, and scalable manufacturing procedures.

Key responsibilities

Design and develop new manufacturing processes, including generating detailed Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and equipment specifications

Create and maintain comprehensive manufacturing documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and equipment operational guidelines

Manage the transfer and scale-up of processes from lab/pilot scale to full commercial production, ensuring robust and reproducible results

Analyze production data, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions to improve throughput, reduce cycle time, and lower manufacturing costs

Apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Six Sigma methodologies to monitor process variables, reduce variation, and drive continuous improvement initiatives

Lead cross-functional teams to conduct thorough Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of persistent production issues, low yields, or quality failures, implementing sustainable corrective actions

Conduct and document formal Process Validation studies (IQ, OQ, PQ) to qualify new equipment and processes, ensuring they meet specified performance parameters

Develop and maintain core quality planning documents such as Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Control Plans to mitigate potential risks

Ensure all manufacturing processes and equipment comply with environmental, safety (OSHA), and quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001 or industry-specific regulations)

Monitor the performance of manufacturing equipment, identifying the need for upgrades, modifications, or replacement based on efficiency and reliability data

About you

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Mechatronics Engineering

Progressive experience in Process Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Production supervision, preferably in a relevant industry (e.g., mechanical, mechatronics, electrical, automotive, etc)

Proven experience applying statistical methods to solve manufacturing problems

Expert knowledge of process design tools (PFDs, P&IDs) and process mapping techniques

Proficiency in Statistical Process Control (SPC), Process Capability Studies (CpK), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

Strong understanding of industrial equipment, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, or relevant unit operations

Experience with quality systems like ISO 9001 and formal process validation protocols

Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification is highly desirable

Professional Engineer (PE) license is a strong asset
