  • Create comprehensive manufacturing work instructions and technical documentation with visual aids.
  • Engineer and optimize dispensing operations for adhesives, sealants, and thermal materials.
  • Provide real-time lineside support to resolve process deviations and maintain production flow.
  • Perform root cause analysis to implement corrective actions and improve manufacturing processes.
  • Develop and validate process parameters to establish clear control limits for quality assurance.
  • Support new product introductions by scaling manufacturing processes from prototype to full production.
  • Participate in design reviews to provide feedback on manufacturability and assembly optimization.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 8+ years of experience in manufacturing process development, preferably in a high-reliability industry.
  • Active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Expertise in creating detailed work instructions and manufacturing process documentation with visual aids.
  • Experience optimizing manual assembly operations and establishing standardized work.
  • Experience with dispensing technologies for adhesives, sealants, and thermal materials.
  • Proficiency with CAD software for assembly documentation and tooling design.
  • Ability to analyze and improve processes using lean manufacturing principles and AS9100 standards.
