Full Job Posting

What You'll Do

  • Lead or support engineering projects focused on molded fiber manufacturing processes, equipment, and technologies. Manage and prioritize projects based on size, complexity, business need, and level of experience. Support critical project work across multiple manufacturing facilities. Evaluate emerging technologies and manufacturing approaches that may support molded fiber product and process development. Troubleshoot production equipment and processes, identify root causes, and develop practical engineering solutions. Lead or participate in process-failure investigations and help establish consistent solutions across facilities. Perform feasibility studies related to fabrication, assembly, machining, and manufacturing processes. Develop test parameters and participate in equipment testing, process validation, data analysis, and implementation. Establish continuous improvement plans that improve safety, quality, efficiency, productivity, or service. Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, technical documentation, project reports, and engineering recommendations. Partner with production, maintenance, quality, engineering, technicians, and other cross-functional teams. Provide hands-on support during equipment startups and process troubleshooting, including working directly with production lines when needed. Help translate broad technical concepts into practical and scalable manufacturing solutions. Senior-level candidates may lead large, complex, long-duration projects and mentor other engineers.

What You'll Bring

  • We are looking for an engineer who combines strong technical problem-solving skills with practical, hands-on manufacturing experience. Direct experience in molded fiber or paper packaging manufacturing is preferred, and candidates with relevant experience in related process-manufacturing environments are encouraged to apply. Bachelor’s degree in engineering and at least three (3) years of relevant engineering experience in a manufacturing or production environment. An equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered. For consideration at the Senior Process Engineer level, at least six (6) years of progressively responsible relevant engineering experience, including experience leading complex projects, solving significant process or equipment problems, and coordinating work across technical or operational teams. Demonstrated ability to organize and prioritize projects, deadlines, and responsibilities with limited supervision. Willingness to work in production environments and provide hands-on equipment and process support. Ability to meet the travel requirements of the role, including travel of up to 50% and maintaining any documentation required for domestic or international business travel.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience with molded fiber products, equipment, and/or manufacturing processes. Experience in pulp and paper, paper science, paper manufacturing, paper processing, fiber-based packaging, thermoforming, injection molding, printing, or another relevant process-manufacturing environment. Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Chemical, Industrial, Paper Science. Experience evaluating manufacturing technologies, equipment solutions, or potential technical partners. Experience with equipment startups, process validation, process development, or multi-site manufacturing support. Experience applying process-improvement, statistical, or quality tools such as root-cause analysis, SPC, FMEA, DOE, 8D, Gage R&R, 5S, or comparable methodologies. Experience creating technical reports, presentations, operating procedures, and business documentation. What Makes Someone Successful Humble and hands-on: Values the knowledge of operators, technicians, plant teams, and experienced engineers. Collaborative: Builds productive relationships across locations, departments, and technical disciplines. Independent: Takes ownership of projects and moves work forward with limited supervision. Curious: Actively explores new processes, equipment, technologies, and manufacturing methods. Practical: Translates technical analysis and broad concepts into solutions that work in a manufacturing environment. Adaptable: Moves comfortably between project planning, data analysis, technical documentation, and production-floor support. Reliable: Demonstrates sound judgment, personal accountability, and consistent follow-through.
