• Lead process‑based investigations and corrective actions associated with Nonconforming reports (NCRs) and/or Return Material Authorization (RMAs)
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies
• Support new product introduction (NPI), including process design, tooling, and validation
• Collaborate with design engineering to ensure manufacturability (DFM) of pneumatic products
• Implement and improve automated assembly, testing systems, and process controls
• Conduct root cause analysis and ensure compliance with safety and quality standards (e.g., IS)

Minimum Qualifications (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities)

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, preferably with mechanical or pneumatic products
• Demonstrated experience with assembly processes, machining operations (CNC), and precision components

• Familiarity with pressure and flow testing methods and equipment
• Strong mechanical aptitude
• Detail oriented
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast‑paced production environment
  • Preferred Qualifications
    • Experience in pneumatic or fluid power manufacturing industry
    • Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification
    • Knowledge of ISO‑9001 or similar quality standards
    • Familiarity with CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) for tooling and fixture design
    • Experience with Statistical Process Control (SPC)
