JOB SUMMARY:

Supports manufacturing in the resolution of manufacturing issues and provides manufacturing with tools and engineering support to implement new products into production and in the resolution of manufacturing issues. Leads process design functions to determine product flow through the manufacturing cell by use of current engineering and continuous improvement techniques. Establishes resource requirements and material flow using industrial engineering techniques and internal Company standards.

Analyzes various product structures and processes in order to eliminate inefficiencies and reduce manufacturing costs. Performs Design of Experiment (DOE) analysis to determine optimum operating parameters to achieve the most efficient cell. Monitors and controls objectives and costs of assigned project and establishes program time lines. Performs other duties as necessary in support of business objectives. May provide work direction and/or supervision to other staff.

The following duties will be performed at all levels within the progression. At level I, work is primarily routine and focused on daily workflow requirements that involve detailed engineering assignments including calculations and relatively standard tests. Guidance is provided either by instruction received on specific assignment objectives, complex features, and possible solutions; or in the form of independently evaluating, selecting, and applying established and well-defined engineering techniques, procedures, policies or systems.

Decisions involve limited risk to the organization. Primarily involves entry through intermediate level work. At level II, work is moderately complex and difficult in character and requires program/project management skills. Functioning as a highly competent engineer, work requires independent evaluation, selection, and adaptation of standard company procedures and translation of technical guidance from higher level personnel into data applicable to the particular assignment.

Decisions involve moderate risk to the organization although results may have a long‑lasting impact. Primarily involves intermediate through advanced level work, moving toward complete technical competency and mastery of the field. At level III, work requires independent problem solving and decision making with general direction given on project objectives and broad guidance from corporate strategy and goals. Work is complex, difficult in character and requires strong technical and broad business knowledge in addition to program/project management skills.

Functioning with full competency/mastery of work area, exercises considerable latitude in determining specific project objectives and approaches to assignment. Decisions often involve substantial risk to the organization with potential for long‑lasting results. Primarily involves senior/advanced level work, primarily on large projects and may supervise other staff. Elevation to this level will only occur on a selective case‑by‑case basis. Provides manufacturing with tools and technical engineering support to implement new products and processes into production.
