About the role

What You'll Be Working On

  • Plant Layout & Process Support: Assist in updating manufacturing floor layouts to improve material flow and ensure safe operator movements.
  • Throughput & Data Analysis: Help perform time studies and analyze production data to identify bottlenecks; assist in implementing process improvements to balance assembly lines.
  • Metrics Reporting: Support the tracking of key performance indicators, including First Pass Yield (FPY) and Overall Process Effectiveness (OPE).
  • DFMA Participation: Support Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) reviews by documenting feedback from the factory floor to help simplify assembly.
  • Work Instructions: Develop and maintain detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and assembly instructions to ensure consistent quality.
  • Tooling Assistance: Assist in the identification and design of manufacturing aids, jigs, and fixtures to improve ergonomics and safety.
  • Production Support: Help resolve real-time manufacturing issues and participate in root cause analysis for process deviations.

What You'll Bring to the Team

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

Experience: 0–2 years of experience; internship or senior project experience in a manufacturing or electromechanical environment is highly preferred.

CAD Proficiency: Basic proficiency with 2D/3D CAD software (such as SolidWorks or SketchUp) for layout and fixture design.

Lean Foundational Knowledge: Academic or practical exposure to Lean Manufacturing principles (5S, Kaizen, etc.).

Technical Understanding: Familiarity with metal fabrication, welding, or mechanical assembly processes.

Problem Solving: A first-principles approach to solving technical problems and a desire to work with data-driven analysis.

Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for 8 hours or more daily to support floor operations.
