Strong analytical, problem-solving, project-management, and cross-functional communication skills.
Ability to work effectively with production employees, engineers, quality personnel, maintenance, and operations leadership.
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, or a related discipline preferred. Significant relevant process engineering experience may be considered in place of a degree.
Ability to work onsite in Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Preferred Qualifications

SolidWorks or comparable 3D CAD experience.
Experience with additive manufacturing or 3D printing.
Formal project-management experience.
Experience with ERP or manufacturing-resource-planning systems.
Knowledge of SPC, PFMEA, DOE, root-cause analysis, 5S, Kaizen, flow-line manufacturing, and visual standard work.
Experience supporting electromechanical assembly or a related manufacturing environment.
Travel

Occasional travel to supplier, partner, or customer locations as needed.

Due to ITAR compliance requirements, candidates must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3).

Partner closely with production employees and leadership to improve workflow, throughput, safety, quality, and overall assembly performance.
Lead process-improvement projects from initial analysis through implementation and follow-up.
Design, develop, test, implement, and troubleshoot tooling, fixtures, work holding devices, and other assembly equipment.
Apply Lean Six Sigma principles and tools to reduce waste, improve process capability, and support continuous improvement.
Conduct time studies, workflow analyses, line-balancing activities, and equipment or floor-layout evaluations.
Develop and implement new assembly methods, processes, tools, and technologies.
Create, revise, and maintain assembly procedures, standard operating procedures, work instructions, and related documentation.
Support production personnel in the day-to-day execution of assembly, inspection, and testing activities.
Investigate production problems, determine root causes, and implement corrective or preventive actions.
Support PFMEA, process-capability reviews, SPC activities, continuous-improvement studies, and design-of-experiment activities as needed.
Participate in Kaizen events and the implementation of 5S, visual manufacturing, flow-line, and other Lean practices.
Support new-product development and provide design-for-manufacturability recommendations.
