• Identify opportunities to improve process efficiency, product quality, reliability, and yield through data-driven analysis and problem solving.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Design Engineering, Operations, Quality, Test Engineering, and Product Engineering to address manufacturing challenges and support product development activities.
• Analyze process performance and manufacturing data to identify trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
• Contribute to process qualification, validation, and production readiness activities for new and existing products.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, work instructions, process specifications, and standard operating procedures.
• Support risk assessment and mitigation efforts to ensure successful product and process implementation.
• Apply statistical methods and engineering principles to optimize processes and improve operational performance.
• Assist with new product introduction (NPI), process transfers, and manufacturing scale-up activities.
• Participate in troubleshooting efforts and drive corrective and preventive actions to resolve technical issues.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Knowledge of manufacturing, process engineering, production operations, or industrial systems through coursework, projects, internships, or work experience.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret technical and process-related data.
• Understanding of engineering fundamentals, process improvement methodologies, and manufacturing principles.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills in a cross-functional team environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office or similar productivity tools.

Qualifications
