Job Description

Position Summary

The Contract Process Engineer II supports manufacturing process qualification, optimization, capacity expansion, and capital projects. This role develops process solutions, analyzes performance data, resolves technical issues, and supports project execution from design through commissioning and closeout.

Working with production, maintenance, quality, R&D, EHS, automation, project management, vendors, and contractors, the engineer improves safety, quality, yield, capacity, reliability, and cost performance.

Purpose of the Job

• Support new and modified manufacturing equipment/production lines during qualification, capability and ramp-up.
• Work mainly on equipment/process qualification, line performance, troubleshooting and data analysis.
• Support/own manufacturing lines during the capability phase and ensure equipment/processes are operating as expected.
• Work closely with Installation, Commissioning, Qualification, Capability and Plant Engineering teams.
• This is a hands-on Process Engineering role, not primarily an equipment installation position.

Key Responsibilities

• Support equipment upgrades, process development/modifications, and continuous-improvement initiatives from design through startup and performance verification.
• Qualify, evaluate, troubleshoot, and optimize manufacturing processes, equipment, workflows, and operating conditions.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation, process descriptions, equipment specifications, calculations, reports, and operating procedures.
• Conduct process calculations, equipment-sizing evaluations, capacity studies, process simulations, and statistical data analysis.
• Support process recipe creation, testing, validation, and process integration.
• Partner with project managers to define scope, manage technical risks, track progress, and support schedules, estimates, and corrective actions.
• Participate in design, process-safety, risk, and management-of-change reviews.
• Develop and execute commissioning plans, startup procedures, test protocols, and acceptance criteria.
• Investigate process issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure processes and designs are safe, compliant, operable, and maintainable.
• Identify and implement improvements using Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, DOE, 8D, FMEA, and related methodologies.
• Prepare trial summaries and present to upper-level managers and stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of process, manufacturing, or project engineering experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Experience with process improvement, equipment upgrades, process development, or manufacturing operations.
• Ability to develop and review process documentation, including PFDs, P&IDs, calculations, and equipment specifications.
• Experience supporting construction, commissioning, startup, production troubleshooting, or field activities.
• Strong data analytical, problem-solving, organizational, communication, and technical writing skills.
• Ability to present statistical data to cross functional teams by using software and appropriate tools
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently in a fast-paced project environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and statistical-analysis software, such as JMP.

Top Required Skills

• Process / Equipment Qualification experience
• Hands-on manufacturing/process engineering experience
• Manufacturing equipment troubleshooting / line downtime support
• Data analysis / analytical skills
• Process capability and production line ramp-up experience
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Ability to work with cross-functional engineering teams and present engineering/process data to stakeholders.
