Job Title: Mechanical Process Engineer

Job Summary:

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Mechanical Process Engineer to join our engineering team. In this entry-level position, you will support the design, implementation, and optimization of mechanical processes in our manufacturing operations. You will assist in developing process improvements, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring that processes are efficient, cost-effective, and safe. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or someone early in their career to gain hands-on experience in mechanical process engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

• Process Design & Optimization: Assist in designing and optimizing mechanical processes for manufacturing, focusing on improving efficiency, quality, and safety.
• Process Documentation: Help create process documentation, including flow charts, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and work instructions for mechanical systems and processes.
• Data Analysis & Reporting: Collect, analyze, and interpret data from manufacturing processes. Assist in identifying trends, anomalies, and areas for process improvement.
• Troubleshooting & Problem-Solving: Support troubleshooting efforts for mechanical system issues, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions.
• Collaboration with Teams: Work closely with cross-functional teams (e.g., production, quality, maintenance) to ensure processes are running smoothly and meet quality standards.
• Continuous Improvement: Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including the application of lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and other process improvement methodologies.
• Testing & Validation: Assist in testing and validating new processes or equipment to ensure they meet operational and performance requirements.
• Training & Support: Provide support to the production team by helping train operators and technicians on new processes, procedures, and safety protocols.

Key Focus Areas:

• Process Optimization: Support efforts to improve manufacturing processes, reduce waste, and improve throughput.
• Collaboration & Teamwork: Work closely with production teams to ensure smooth implementation of new processes and systems.
• Troubleshooting & Technical Support: Assist in identifying and solving mechanical process issues to maintain operational efficiency.
• Documentation & Compliance: Ensure all processes are documented correctly and comply with safety and quality standards.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Educational Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 0-2 years of experience in mechanical process engineering or a related field (internships or co-op experience are a plus).
• Technical Skills: Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and basic engineering analysis tools. Knowledge of manufacturing processes and basic mechanical principles.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify issues and contribute to solutions.
• Communication Skills: Good verbal and written communication skills to interact with team members and contribute to technical documentation.
• Attention to Detail: High attention to detail and ability to follow instructions and specifications carefully.
• Team Player: Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and support the implementation of new processes.

Certifications (Optional but Beneficial):

• Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or similar).
• CAD or process simulation tool certification.
