JOB SUMMARY

Supports manufacturing in the resolution of manufacturing issues and provides manufacturing with tools and engineering support to implement new products into production and in the resolution of manufacturing issues. Leads process design functions to determine product flow through the manufacturing cell by use of current engineering and continuous improvement techniques. Establishes resource requirements and material flow using industrial engineering techniques and internal Company standards. Analyzes various product structures and processes in order to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce manufacturing costs. Performs Design of Experiment (DOE) analysis to determine optimum operating parameters to achieve the most efficient cell. Monitors and controls objectives and costs of assigned project and establishes program time lines. Performs other duties as necessary in support of business objectives. May provide work direction and/or supervision to other staff.

ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Work requires independent problem solving and decision making with general direction given on project objectives and broad guidance from corporate strategy and goals.
