Continuous Improvement: Evaluate data to identify bottlenecks, constraints, and root causes of inefficiencies. Lead and support lean process changes, work instructions, and operational enhancements.
Capacity & Resource Management: Support production planning, workload balancing, line flow analysis, and capacity assessments.
Facility & Tooling Support: Assist in developing layouts, tooling requirements, and facility optimization recommendations.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering, operations, and quality teams to resolve process issues, support schedule adherence, and deliver data-driven reporting.
Basic Qualifications (Required)
Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, or equivalent relevant qualification.
Experience:
