Job description

Our client, an advanced manufacturing organization building commercial-scale energy storage products, is seeking a Process Engineer to join their team. As a Process Engineer, you will be part of the Manufacturing Engineering organization supporting production line sustaining and continuous improvement efforts. The ideal candidate will have a strong drive for problem-solving, a lean mindset focused on yield and variation reduction, and the ability to collaborate daily across engineering and operations to improve critical KPIs. This is a contract to direct hire position.

Job Title: Process Engineer

Location: Brookshire, TX

Pay Range: $52/hr plus OT, full benefits

What's the Job?

• Own process sustaining and continuous improvement on the production line by monitoring yield, fallout, and critical parameters to drive measurable improvements.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing principles to optimize line layouts, material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics while supporting transitions from concept to pilot and into mass manufacturing.
• Lead root cause analysis of complex test failures and non-conformances using structured problem-solving methods such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W), and Eight Disciplines (8D).
• Establish and monitor SPC for critical process parameters, analyze variation, and implement Engineering Change Orders based on data-driven findings.
• Develop and document rework procedures and troubleshooting guides for offline failure analysis, including NCM (non-conforming material) activities and corrective action back to source.

What's Needed?

• Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Robotics Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Experience programming, troubleshooting, and integrating PLC platforms with ladder logic and structured text.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to quickly learn complex systems; familiarity with safety control devices and safety logic is preferred.

What's in it for me?

• Work on high-impact process improvements that directly influence safety, quality, output, and cost.
• Collaborate closely with manufacturing engineering, new product introduction, quality engineering, equipment engineering, and production operators.
• Use structured, data-driven methods (SPC, MSA, DMAIC, 8D) to drive root cause elimination and sustained performance.
• Contribute to world-class quality goals by improving yield, capacity, and capability through continuous improvement projects.
• Support early builds and validation efforts
