Location: Charlotte Plant
Job Responsibilities
- Provide ongoing process and product performance evaluation against key objectives such as productivity, quality, and profitability.Utilize yield reports, material traceability, product physical characteristics, and process instrumentation to identify opportunities for improvement or to identify and address the root cause of deviations.
- Identify and analyze process and product data to improve capability of each. Develop control strategies and to optimize current products and sustain continuous improvement projects.
- Develop cross-functionally relationships to drive continuous improvement.
- Includes working closely with:
- quality technicians and engineers responsible for the control of raw materials intermediates, and finished products
- Engineers responsible for plant maintenance and projects
- Development team on the development of new products
- Production technicians and production planning
- Initiate and participate in safety, quality, cost, and process control improvements.
- May lead and/or support manufacturing start-up and qualification teams responsible for the development and installation of new equipment or process technologies.
- Includes establishing specifications
- Vendor selection and qualification
- Start-up and validation of new manufacturing equipment
- Support the transition from development into commercial production.
- Validate product quality and generate qualification data packets based on internal and external customer requirements.
- Lead high performance teams. Work well both as a team member and a team leader.
- Utilize tools such as Lean Manufacturing, 5S, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), data analysis, design of experiments (DOE), root cause analysis, statistical process control (SPC).
- Provide daily manufacturing equipment support–24/7 responsibilities to maintain product quality, yields, run-rates
Qualifications Desired
- B.S. in Engineering, BSME, BSChemE, or BSIE preferred
- 0-5 years of manufacturing engineering experience
