Manufacturing Process Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated and results-driven Manufacturing Process Engineer to join our production team. As a mid-level engineer, you will be responsible for optimizing and maintaining manufacturing processes that support efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to implement process improvements and ensure smooth production operations.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Process Optimization & Efficiency

• • Identify inefficiencies in current manufacturing processes and implement improvements to increase throughput and reduce waste.
  • Utilize Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma tools to drive continuous improvement initiatives.

2. Production Support

• • Provide technical support for daily production issues, including troubleshooting equipment or process failures.

  • Ensure minimal downtime through proactive maintenance and problem-solving.

3. Quality & Compliance

• • Ensure manufacturing processes comply with internal quality standards and external regulatory requirements.

  • Perform root cause analysis on quality issues and implement corrective/preventive actions (CAPA).

4. New Product & Process Introduction

• • Support new product launches by developing and validating scalable and robust manufacturing processes.

  • Participate in design for manufacturability (DFM) and pilot production runs.

5. Documentation & Process Control

• • Develop and maintain accurate manufacturing documentation including SOPs, work instructions, process flow diagrams, and PFMEAs.

  • Standardize work methods and implement best practices across production lines.

Core Responsibilities:

• • Conduct time studies, capacity analysis, and cost estimations for manufacturing processes.

  • Monitor process performance metrics (OEE, scrap rate, cycle time) and report findings.

  • Collaborate with R&D, maintenance, quality, and operations teams to support production goals.

  • Lead and participate in Kaizen events, 5S implementation, and other Lean initiatives.

  • Support capital equipment selection, installation, and process commissioning.

  • Train operators and technicians on new or revised processes.

Required Qualifications:

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

  • 3–6 years of experience in a manufacturing/process engineering role.

  • Strong understanding of lean manufacturing, quality systems, and production workflows.

  • Experience with root cause analysis (5 Whys, Fishbone), PFMEA, SPC, and process validation.

  • Proficient in CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and data analysis (Excel, Minitab).

  • Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• • Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent certification.

  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing execution systems (MES).

  • Experience in high-volume manufacturing environments (automotive, medical devices, electronics, etc.).

  • Exposure to automation, robotics, or smart factory technologies.
