Process Engineer, Energy; Night Shift

What to Expect

The Process Engineer (night shift) will be responsible for process sustaining and continuous improvement on multiple production lines for Supercharger or residential energy products, specifically on night shift. This position will be responsible for applying lean manufacturing principles to monitor yield, fallout, and critical parameters and drive necessary process improvements. Daily work will be highly cooperative in nature with regular interactions with manufacturing engineering, new product introduction, quality engineering, equipment engineering, and production operators - strong interpersonal skills are critical.

The engineer will place a significant focus on troubleshooting and root causing test failures and fallout, including data collection and rework process development.
