• Lead the design, development, implementation, and continuous improvement of welding, laser processing, and automated manufacturing processes, including manual and robotic welding, gantry automation, laser welding, and laser ablation.
• Serve as the technical subject matter expert for welding process capability, manufacturing readiness, process control, and automation strategy.
• Develop and deploy manufacturing best practices, standards, specifications, procedures, and lessons learned to ensure consistent, repeatable, and high-quality production.
• Own and govern manufacturing programs, process data, DNC/MDC systems, and change management processes to ensure validation, traceability, revision control, backup, and compliance.
• Analyze manufacturing performance and identify opportunities to improve quality, yield, cycle time, automation, process robustness, and operational efficiency.
• Develop automation roadmaps and integrated manufacturing solutions that reduce manual intervention, enhance repeatability, and support future manufacturing technologies.
• Collaborate with Operations, Quality, Automation, Tooling, OEMs, suppliers, and integrators to resolve technical challenges and implement automated welding and laser processing solutions.
• Define functional requirements for machine integration, controls, manufacturing data collection, process monitoring, adaptive controls, and MES connectivity.
• Lead equipment acceptance, commissioning, capability validation, and production ramp-up activities.
• Mentor engineers and production personnel while providing technical leadership and guidance to support business and operational objectives.

• Minimum 10 years of manufacturing engineering experience supporting advanced welding, joining, and laser processing operations, including GTAW (TIG), robotic welding, gantry welding systems, laser welding, and laser ablation.
• Proven experience leading process development, automation projects, capital equipment implementation, OEM collaboration, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Strong track record of using manufacturing data to improve quality, yield, productivity, process capability, and automation performance.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, logic diagrams, specifications, and industry standards.
• Strong technical writing, presentation, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Proficient with welding and robotic programming software, laser systems, CAD/CAM tools, simulation software, SPC/data analysis tools, Microsoft Office, and manufacturing systems such as SAP, MES, SCADA, Windchill, DNC/MDC, and machine monitoring platforms.
• Experience with industrial automation, controls integration, manufacturing data collection, and equipment connectivity is preferred.
• Ability to travel up to 50% to suppliers, equipment providers, manufacturing facilities, and parent company locations.

• Excellent Benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision & 401K Matching).
• Excellent development programs and advancement opportunities.
