This role ensures efficient, safe, and cost-effective operations by supporting fabrication, machining, assembly, and testing departments. The Process Engineer will play a key role in driving continuous improvement, developing BOM structures, supporting tooling and fixture design, and ensuring smooth NPI (New Product Introduction) handoff from R&D to manufacturing.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and optimize production processes for fabrication and assembly of industrial mechanical assemblies.
• Support BOM (Bill of Materials) structure development and maintenance.
• Lead and coordinate the NPI handoff process from R&D to manufacturing; ensure design intent is manufacturable.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to improve product design and reduce production costs.
• Develop and maintain work instructions, process documentation, and standard operating procedures.
• Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency, yield, and quality.
• Design, procure, and validate tooling, fixtures, and jigs required for production.
• Collaborate with Quality to resolve non-conformances and drive root cause / corrective actions.
• Support capacity planning, workflow optimization, and production cell layouts.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives using lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies.
• Integrate and support the use of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for process control, data collection, and production reporting.
• Train operators and leads on new processes, MES functionality, procedures, and equipment.
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Strong understanding of fabrication (welding, machining, sheet metal), assembly, and test processes.
• Hands-on experience with BOM management and ERP/MRP systems.
• Experience with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), including process control and production data analysis.
• Knowledge of tooling, fixture, and equipment design.
• Experience with NPI and product lifecycle management (PLM) systems.
• Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, and Six Sigma tools.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.
• Experience with ISO 9001 quality management systems required.

Work Environment and Physical Demands:

The person will be in constant motion and will have physical activities, such as lifting (0-50 lbs.), bending, reaching, and stooping.

Required Experience:

• 3+ years of process engineering experience in a manufacturing environment (industrial, mechanical, or electromechanical assemblies preferred).

Required Education Level

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
