• Lead manufacturing readiness for new product introductions by partnering with development teams, analyzing validation results, qualifying products, processes, and equipment, and completing release-to-manufacturing deliverables that ensure robust, scalable, and capable production.
• Develop and present capital investment proposals, ROI analyses, and technical recommendations; coordinate the design, purchase, construction, and implementation of equipment, tooling, and fixtures with site leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, including routings, standard operating procedures, work instructions, and test specifications, and train production personnel on process setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
• Champion a safe, organized, and continuously improving workplace through active participation in 6S and Kaizen activities, adherence to established safety practices, and prompt identification and reporting of hazards.
• Provide technical coaching and mentorship to manufacturing engineers, technicians, and production team members by sharing best practices, reviewing technical work, and supporting skill development.
• Any other duties as assigned.

What We Seek:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering or highly related field technical diploma a plus

• Experience developing and maintaining manufacturing process-control documentation, including process flow diagrams, PFMEAs, control plans, inspection criteria, and standardized work instructions
• Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Creo for tooling, fixtures, layouts, and design reviews
