• Refine and maintain BOMs, work instructions, and production documentation using MRP/ERP systems
• Analyze material and process workflows, with particular focus on wood, vinyl, and foam-based components
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts using Lean and Six Sigma principles
• Participate in product development (~20–30% of the time) with focus on manufacturability
• Travel to the US for onboarding and training (2–3 times in the first few months)

The Person:

• Background in manufacturing or industrial engineering
• Experience working with wood, vinyl, or foam in a manufacturing environment (essential)
• Familiarity with BOM creation, process optimization, and ERP/MRP systems
• Comfortable working on the production floor and communicating with cross-functional teams
