The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.

The Process Engineer of Seats Production is responsible for analyzing, designing, and improving manufacturing processes to maximize efficiency, quality, safety, and cost performance. This role applies industrial engineering principles to optimize labor, material flow, equipment utilization, and production systems while supporting new product launches, capacity expansion, and continuous improvement initiatives. Works closely with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and automation teams to drive data-based decisions and deliver sustainable operational improvements.

  • Optimize logistics within the plant (kanban systems, material handling).
  • Ensure space utilization and smooth workflow.

Capacity Planning & Resource Management

  • Plan manpower, machines, and tooling for new and existing programs.
  • Support capital investment decisions for equipment.

Cost Analysis & Continuous Improvement

  • Drive continuous improvement projects to reduce waste and increase productivity.
  • Monitor KPIs like cycle time, OEE, and scrap rates.

Quality & Safety Integration

  • Ensure processes comply with quality standards.
  • Integrate ergonomics and safety into process design.
  • Support root cause analysis for process-related defects.

New Program Support

  • Participate in DFM/A (Design for Manufacturing/Assembly) reviews.
  • Support launch readiness by validating process capability.
  • Prepare Process FMEA, work instructions and standard operating procedures.

| WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM:

Education & Experience

  • 12+ years related automotive manufacturing experience with Bachelor's degree, 8 years with Master's degree, 5 years with PhD or equivalent experience
  • Experience with lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and ERP systems.
  • Automotive OEM experience preferred.
  • Experience with Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing.

Skills

  • Proven leadership skills and ability to manage cross-functional teams.
  • Strong knowledge of trim line processes and automotive interior components.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and production planning software

Working Conditions

  • Manufacturing plant environment
  • Exposure to moving machinery and industrial noise
  • May require shift work (days, nights, weekends)

| SALARY RANGE:

The compensation for this position is the range Slate reasonably and in good faith expects to pay for the position taking into account the wide variety of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions, including job-related knowledge; skillset; experience, education and training; certifications; work location; and other relevant business and organizational factors.
