Job Description The Manufacturing Engineer position can occur in Process, Production or Technology. The Manufacturing Engineer - Process is responsible for providing innovative and cost-effective processes and solutions required to manufacture products. This includes the design and development of new and improved manufacturing techniques, processes and procedures. He/she develops, maintains, and continuously improves manufacturing processes and techniques using LEAN. He/she develops standards and establishes implementation plans, including training plans for shop floor personnel, and production metrics. He/she collaborates with Engineering and Manufacturing Technology to ensure that processes are created and developed for new products and that return-on-experience is captured for existing processes. The Manufacturing Engineer Production performs the lead role in the implementation of manufacturing processes and techniques - and the implementation of LEAN and use of Six Sigma tools. He/she is the owner of their respective manufacturing processes and standards and enforces implementation by training shop floor personnel, implementing and monitoring metrics, and oversight. He/she is responsible to solve complex manufacturing problems and take an active role in troubleshooting quality and production yield related issues within manufacturing. The Manufacturing Engineer - Technology is responsible for finding, investigating, and/or creating new, next generation, innovative and cost effective technology solutions required to manufacture existing and new products. This includes the creation and development of a manufacturing technology roadmap for new and existing product technologies. For new technologies, he/she takes processes from the concept phase all the way to successful implementation.

For Manufacturing Engineer - Production

• Lean Six Sigma.
• Responsible for the implementation of key elements of Lean, such as: standardized work instructions, line balancing, layout and work sequence (routing) optimization, training development matrix, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen/5S workouts, pull processes, TPM (total preventive maintenance), cell design, and quick changeover/batch-size optimization.
• Processes.
• Implement process improvements to achieve manufacturing excellence in areas such as process yield (e.G. First Pass Yield, Rolled Throughput Yield), cycle time reduction and productivity.
• Provide shop floor feedback on product design and manufacturability issues to Engineering and DFMs (e.G. Through the use of Engineering Change Requests - ECRs).
• Review and sign-off on Engineering Change Orders that impact Inventory - including product life cycle issues, obsolescence, etc.
• Creates, implements, and monitors key performance indicators and metrics on manufacturing process capability and product quality.
• Monitoring and reducing process costs.
• Quality.
• Responsible to assist with investigation, root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for manufacturing quality issues.

For Manufacturing Engineer - Technology
