Process Engineer

Job Description Summary The Process Engineer is responsible for driving equipment optimization, process improvements, and cost‑saving initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and product quality. This role provides high‑level engineering support for equipment health, operational practices, and long‑term reliability strategies. The engineer will also lead efforts to identify and implement cost reduction opportunities, including evaluating calibration insourcing options. This position plays a key role in strengthening manufacturing performance, reducing waste, and ensuring sustainable operational readiness. Job Description Job Description 1. Equipment & Process Optimization Improve equipment performance, stability, and uptime across assigned production areas. Identify bottlenecks and opportunities to increase throughput and efficiency. Lead and execute projects that reduce scrap, rework, cycle time, and process variability. Partner with cross‑functional teams to ensure optimization efforts translate into measurable capacity increases and product quality improvements. 2. Cost‑Saving Initiatives (CCP) Identify and drive cost reduction opportunities aligned with company financial goals. Lead waste elimination activities and support continuous improvement projects using structured methodologies. Provide data‑driven justification for proposed improvements and ensure validated savings are realized and sustained. 3. Engineering Support for Equipment Operational Practices Provide high‑level engineering insights into equipment operations. Support reviews of long‑term equipment health metrics and performance indicators. Offer engineering recommendations to enhance service practices, reliability, and risk mitigation. Contribute to critical‑spare strategy discussions to reduce operational downtime and exposure. Strengthen equipment readiness through strategic guidance and cross‑functional collaboration. 4. Calibration Cost Optimization Analyze external calibration expenses and identify opportunities for targeted insourcing. Conduct cost‑benefit evaluations to determine feasibility, savings potential, and operational impact. Support teams in defining processes or technical requirements needed to enable cost‑optimized calibration execution. Additional Responsibilities Support continuous improvement culture and operational excellence initiatives. Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Maintenance, Production, and Quality teams as needed. Use data analysis and structured problem‑solving to drive decisions and recommendations. Ensure compliance with EHS regulations, quality standards, and internal policies. Qualification Requirements Required Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, or related field) or equivalent combination of education and relevant technical experience. Demonstrated experience in manufacturing engineering or equipment optimization (typically 3+ years). Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with experience reducing scrap, downtime, or process variation. Ability to interpret equipment performance data and recommend improvements. Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies. Experience leading cross‑functional engineering or cost‑saving projects. Proficiency in technical documentation, data analysis tools, and computerized maintenance or manufacturing systems. Strong communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration. Preferred (Nice to Have) Experience in semiconductor, electronics manufacturing, precision machining, or similar high‑tech production environments. Prior involvement in calibration management, equipment health monitoring, or spare‑strategy planning. Formal Lean/Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher). Familiarity with root cause analysis tools (5‑Whys, Fishbone, FMEA, etc.). We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
