Job description
With interesting opportunities in engineering, marketing, sales, supply chain, operations, HR, finance, and more across more than 40 diverse businesses around the globe, chances are, we have something special for you.
The Director of Process Engineering is responsible for leading the development, optimization, and scale-up of manufacturing processes to support Mott Corporation's growth across Semiconductor, Aerospace & Defense, and Industrial markets. This role drives process stability, improves yield and cost performance, and ensures successful industrialization of new products.
Reporting to senior operations leadership, the Director will lead a team of process engineers and collaborate closely with Operations, R&D, and Quality to deliver reliable, scalable manufacturing processes for highly technical and mission-critical applications.
Key Responsibilities
1. Market-Aligned Process Development
Lead process engineering efforts aligned to Mott's three core markets, ensuring each manufacturing environment meets its unique requirements:
- Ultra-high purity, contamination-free manufacturing for Semiconductor customers
- High-reliability and regulated production for Aerospace & Defense programs
- Efficient, scalable production for Industrial markets
- Ensure all processes meet customer, regulatory, and product performance requirements
- Drive alignment between process capability and market-specific technical demands
2. Process Optimization & Manufacturing Support
Own process performance metrics and drive continuous improvement across all assigned manufacturing areas:
- Yield and First Pass Yield (FPY) improvement
- Throughput optimization and cycle time reduction
- Scrap and rework reduction programs
- Lead root cause analysis and structured problem-solving for manufacturing and quality issues
- Standardize and document processes, work instructions, and best practices
3. New Product Introduction (NPI) & Scale-Up
Partner with R&D and cross-functional teams to accelerate new product industrialization:
- Lead Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) reviews and production readiness activities
- Support transition from R&D to production, ensuring robust and repeatable processes
- Implement and enforce APQP, PFMEA, and process validation disciplines
- Collaborate across functions to accelerate time-to-market for new programs
4. Process Capability & Technology Development
Drive advancement of core manufacturing technologies:
- Develop and improve manufacturing processes in advanced materials processing (e.g., powder metals, sintering, purification)
- Optimize precision machining and fabrication capabilities
- Enhance cleaning and assembly processes for high-spec environments
- Support evaluation and implementation of new equipment, tooling, and automation
- Drive continuous improvement in process capability and repeatability
5. Continuous Improvement & Performance Management
- Lead Lean and Six Sigma initiatives to improve productivity and reduce cost
- Establish process KPI dashboards and drive accountability to performance targets
- Identify and execute cost-out and efficiency improvement initiatives
6. Team Leadership & Development
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of Process Engineers
- Build technical capabilities aligned to Semiconductor, A&D, and Industrial needs
- Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
- Partner with leadership to recruit and retain top technical talent
7. Cross-Functional Collaboration
This role demands tight integration with the broader organization:
- Operations - support daily manufacturing execution and escalation resolution
- R&D / Engineering - ensure smooth technology transfer and DFM alignment
- Quality - ensure process control, validation, and regulatory compliance
- Engage in customer-facing technical discussions for complex applications as needed
Key Performance Metrics
Success in this role will be measured against the following metrics:
Key Metric Description
Yield / FPY Improvement
First Pass Yield targets across Semiconductor, A&D, and Industrial lines
Process Capability (Cp/Cpk)
Statistical process control where applicable; drives repeatability
Cycle Time Reduction
Throughput improvements and bottleneck elimination
Scrap & Cost Reduction
Waste elimination via Lean and Six Sigma initiatives
NPI Launch Success & Speed
On-time, on-spec new product introductions with validated processes
Process Stability & Repeatability
Standardized work instructions and documented best practices
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- 10-15 years of progressive experience in process engineering within a manufacturing environment
- Proven experience in at least one of the following sectors:
- Semiconductor or high-purity manufacturing
- Aerospace & Defense or regulated production environments
- Advanced industrial / engineered product manufacturing
- Strong background in process development, scale-up, and industrialization
- Demonstrated expertise in root cause analysis and structured problem-solving (e.g., 8D, DMAIC)
- Hands-on experience with continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma)
- Proven track record of leading and developing technical engineering teams
- Experience with APQP, PFMEA, and process validation disciplines
Preferred Experience
