• Collaborate with remote engineering teams to prepare new machines for production release
• Aid QA department with process improvement and manufacturing work instruction updates
• Create and modify work instructions
• Analyze and plan workflow, equipment placement and space requirements to improve manufacturing efficiency, using a lean six-sigma and industrial engineering approach

• Assist in design of assembly fixtures and jigs to aid the assembly process
• Work closely with vendors for manufacturing fixture and test equipment development
• Translate 3-D assembly models and detailed assembly drawings into manufacturing, along with identified CTQ’s (Critical to Quality)
• Participate in DFMEA and DFA reviews with design engineering and drive PFMEA, particularly for new products and significant design changes
• Balance multiple projects concurrently
• Execute implementation of engineering changes into production

• Strong communication skills and ability to influence change across multiple levels of the organization
• Ability to work effectively within a fast‑paced manufacturing environment

Preferred

• Assembly manufacturing experience

• Problem solving focus and the ability to think creatively troubleshoot machine issues, design constraints, and other roadblocks
• Knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, and pneumatic systems
• Lean Manufacturing or Continuous Improvement experience
• Experience developing SOPs, standard work, and process instructions
