Optical Cable Manufacturing Process Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Step Into a Day That Moves

Schedule: Day Shift (Weekdays)

Picture this: you arrive at our high-tech Prysmian facility and walk the production floor, where fiber‑optic cable lines hum with precision. You review overnight run data, meet with operators and fellow engineers, and set priorities that keep quality high and throughput strong. By midday, you’re on the line dialing in equipment parameters for a new product trial; by afternoon, you’re documenting a process update and planning the next round of continuous improvement experiments.

What Your Work Looks Like

• Dig into production metrics to spot trends and turn signals into clear improvement actions.
• Drive process refinements that lift yield, boost efficiency, and elevate product performance.
• Partner with production teams to fine‑tune equipment settings and maximize uptime.
• Support new product introductions through controlled trials and method enhancements.
• Troubleshoot issues on the floor, assist with machine setups, and coordinate upgrade activities.
• Collaborate across Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, and Production to remove roadblocks.
• Create clear SOPs, training guides, and technical documentation that stick.
• Advance continuous improvement using Lean practices, 6S, and root‑cause analysis.

Who Thrives Here

This role fits an early‑career engineer ready to learn fast and grow into expanded ownership. You’ll be hands‑on, curious, and comfortable in a fast‑moving manufacturing setting where no two days are the same.

What You Bring

• BS in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or similar).
• 0–3 years in a manufacturing environment.
• Sharp analytical thinking and structured problem‑solving.
• Team‑first mindset with a strong appetite to learn.
• Comfort working on a busy production floor.
• Nice to have: exposure to fiber optics or wire & cable, ERP platforms, Excel, or Minitab.

Shape What’s Next

At Prysmian, your ideas matter. Your growth matters. And your work helps connect the world. If you’re ready to accelerate your engineering journey with a global leader in fiber‑optic cable, we’d love to meet you.
