• Partner with Maintenance and Operations leaders to address daily and long-term performance issues, recurring failures, reliability opportunities, and operating standards.

• Analyze manufacturing data to identify systemic losses, determine root causes, and implement sustainable countermeasures.

• Use structured problem-solving methodologies such as DMAIC, Root Cause Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), or other formal approaches to move issues from problem definition through verified sustainment.

Support Manufacturing Systems & MES

• Partner with plant users, Engineering, Quality, Information Technology, system vendors, and equipment suppliers on MES reliability, enhancements, testing, deployment, and support.

• Improve manufacturing data capture and usability and build Operations and Maintenance capability to use MES effectively.

• Maintain relevant MES documentation, process maps, standard work, troubleshooting guidance, change controls, and contingency procedures.

• Translate operating needs into clear technical or system requirements.

Lead Technical & Capital Projects

• Lead or support a limited number of capital or technical projects from scope development through equipment or system integration, commissioning, user acceptance, training, and start-up.

• Apply formal project management practices to ensure projects and improvements are effectively planned, executed, and sustained.

• Support equipment, process, and system improvements that contribute to manufacturing performance and reliability.

Partner Across the Site

• Collaborate effectively with Production employees, Maintenance technicians, technical specialists, vendors, Information Technology partners, and site leaders.

• Ensure assigned work aligns with site safety, quality, environmental, cybersecurity, regulatory, budget, and change-control requirements.

• Provide clear documentation, communication, and follow-through across cross-functional improvement and technical initiatives.

What we look for:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical or chemical engineering from an accredited institution.

• 3-5 years of engineering experience in manufacturing, industrial operations, manufacturing systems, automation, process improvement, maintenance, or a related technical environment.

• Experience supporting, administering, implementing, or improving a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or comparable manufacturing operations system.

• Demonstrated experience improving equipment, process, system, or manufacturing performance.

• Experience with manufacturing data, equipment interfaces, system integration, testing, deployment, user acceptance, or user training is preferred.

• Working knowledge of manufacturing safety, quality, environmental, cybersecurity, regulatory, and change-management expectations.

• Experience applying DMAIC, formal project management, Root Cause Analysis, FMEA, RCFA, or another formal structured problem-solving methodology.

• Ability to analyze manufacturing data, identify systemic losses, determine root causes, and implement sustainable countermeasures.

• Strong manufacturing troubleshooting, prioritization, documentation, project leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Ability to communicate effectively with production employees, maintenance technicians, technical specialists, vendors, Information Technology partners, and site leaders.
