Analyze manufacturing and quality data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for process improvement.

Collaborate cross‑functionally with production, quality, supply chain, and engineering teams to resolve issues and enhance manufacturing processes.

Participate in continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing defects and improving process stability.

Develop and maintain technical documentation, reports, and work instructions to support investigations, corrective actions, and process updates.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field from an ABET‑accredited program.

Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and ability to interpret engineering drawings and specifications.

Experience with structured problem‑solving methods and root cause analysis.

Exposure to manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, heat treating, testing, inspection, or similar processes preferred.

Working knowledge of Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma concepts, and basic statistical analysis.

Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills with the ability to work in cross‑functional teams.

Self‑motivated with a strong desire to learn and grow in a manufacturing engineering environment.

Strong communication skills with the ability to engage and collaborate with production operators, engineers, and leadership.
