• Lean and Six Sigma methods; process validation; PFMEA; control plans; technical writing.
• Regular time on the manufacturing floor; PPE; travel up to 10%.

Responsibilities

• Improve production efficiency and process flow across adhesive manufacturing lines by analyzing cycle times, changeover losses, and bottlenecks, applying lean and Six Sigma tools, and implementing workflow and setup changes that lift OEE while protecting safety and quality targets.
• Execute scale-up activities that transition new and revised products into production by preparing process parameters, trial plans, and run sheets; coordinating pre-launch trials and data capture; and confirming stable performance against yield, cost, and specs prior to release.
• Apply mixing and dispersion science to achieve repeatable batch performance by selecting impeller types and speeds, controlling addition sequences and temperatures, and documenting set points to improve material homogeneity and consistency.
• Standardize critical processes to protect FPY and product quality by creating and updating work instructions and control plans, running SPC, and implementing adjustments that maintain capabilities and minimize nonconformances.
• Perform process validation to defined acceptance criteria and documentation standards by executing protocols, collecting and analyzing results, and compiling complete, traceable records that demonstrate conformance to internal and ISO quality-system requirements.
• Resolve process-related customer issues with durable, evidence-based actions by conducting root cause analysis, implementing corrective changes to parameters or work orders, verifying effectiveness through targeted re-tests, and closing records within agreed timelines.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation and change traceability for processes by producing flow diagrams, PFMEAs, and control plans; updating validation files; and submitting controlled changes that align BOMs, work instructions, and routes.
