• Lead root-cause analysis (RCA, 8D, Fishbone) for process-related defects.
• Partner with Engineering and QA to conduct trials, Design of Experiments (DOE), and qualifications for new raw materials, compound formulations, and tooling designs (dies/tips).
• Champion continuous improvement and Lean Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate process bottlenecks, enhance line speeds, and reduce conversion costs.
• Develop, update, and audit Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), technical datasheets, and work instructions for machine operators and technical personnel.
• Mentor, train, and upskill process engineers, technicians, and machine operators on technical machine setup and process troubleshooting.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• Minimum 5–8 years of hands‑on process engineering experience in cable and wire manufacturing, with at least 5 years in a managerial or lead capacity.
• Deep technical knowledge of continuous polymer extrusion (XLPE, PVC, LSOH), wire drawing dies, stranding configurations, and cable testing standards (IEC, BS, MS).
• Strong background in Lean Manufacturing, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and process capability enhancement (Six Sigma certification is a plus).
• Proven track record in scrap reduction, material cost optimization, and yield enhancement.
• Strong leadership, data‑driven analytical mindset, and effective communication skills across all plant levels.
