Process Engineer

The Role:

The Process Engineer will develop, implement, and improve manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, and operations to support safe, efficient production of high-quality parts. The Process Engineer works across manufacturing engineering and plant teams, applying technical judgment and independent problem-solving to improve process capability, material flow, equipment performance, and launch readiness. This role could be placed onto any shift (this is a 3 shift operation).

What You'll Do (Responsibilities):

• Define and improve manufacturing processes, operation sequences, equipment, tooling, and material flow for assigned products, lines, stations, or technologies.
• Translate product and production requirements into practical process designs, equipment specifications, and implementation plans.
• Coordinate equipment and process design, build, integration, installation, validation, and launch activities with plant teams, suppliers, and cross-functional partners.
• Develop and maintain project scope, timing, milestones, risks, and issue-resolution plans; communicate progress and escalate barriers.
• Analyze production, quality, downtime, and process data to identify root causes and implement sustainable improvements.
• Apply lean manufacturing and GM manufacturing system principles to reduce waste and improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
• Incorporate human factors, ergonomics, and efficient use of people, materials, machines, and facilities into process decisions.
• Provide technical direction to suppliers and coordinate their work to meet process, equipment, timing, and quality requirements.
• Support new product and process launches, production trials, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with product engineering, plant operations, quality, maintenance, controls, safety, and other manufacturing engineering teams.
• Document process decisions, requirements, open issues, and lessons learned; share technical knowledge with teammates.
• Processes and equipment are implemented to plan and meet production, quality, and operational needs.
• Manufacturing problems are addressed with effective root-cause analysis and lasting corrective actions.
• Improvements deliver measurable benefits to safety, quality, efficiency, material flow, or cost.
• Project status, decisions, risks, and technical requirements are clearly communicated.
• Work is completed with sound judgment, ownership, and collaboration across plant and engineering teams.

Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• 2 years of engineering experience
• Bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated analytical, problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage assigned projects and deliver results with appropriate independence and accountability.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling, and production systems.
• Ability to build productive relationships with plant customers, engineering partners, and suppliers.
• MUST be able to work any shift and overtime

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• Experience working in a manufacturing environment
• 2+ years of experience as a Process Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, or Mechanical Engineer
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering
• CNC programming experience
• Understanding of GD&T (Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing)
