About the Job:
We are looking for an industrial or mechanical engineer who is passionate about upholding the manufacturing process to ensure that we are optimized for maximum productivity, quality, and efficiency. In this role, you are a master guru of organizing and simplifying large and complex processes and making these leaner and more efficient.

Our primary responsibilities will be:

• Create and review internal manufacturing processes for efficiency and quality improvements
• Review visual work instructions and production database (serialization, test results, etc.)
• Participating in Continuous Improvement and 5S activities
• Developing work instructions for production
• Specification, design, build/outsource, improvement of production jigs, test fixtures, and material handling carts
• As needed, 8-D problem solving and corrective action management
• Review engineering drawings for manufacturability in the ECO phase and provide feedback to the design teams.
• Review and correct manufacturing BOMs as required
• Organizational change management to implement new or revised processes

About You:
You are the person on the production floor who sees an assembly process and thinks ‘with this simple tool, we could do this better’. By the time you make it to your desk, you’ve already got a concept sketched out. You can easily envision assembly steps in your head, know when these will cause issues in a production environment and are confident enough to take these recommendations to the R&D team. Quality is your middle name. You may not enjoy working in Excel spreadsheets for lengthy periods of time, but you do revel in the outcome of an extremely accurate, well-organized worksheet.

Required Skills:

• Electromechanical prototyping and assembly
• MS Office
• Practical understanding of cable assembly, PCBA quality standards and common defects
• Lean manufacturing experience
• BOM management in an ERP environment
