Document equipment modifications in accordance with quality standards (ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 preferred).
Support engineering change processes (ECR/ECN).
Safety & Compliance
Ensure compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, ISO standards, and machine-safety regulations (EN/ISO 12100, 13849).
Participate in risk assessments, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, safety audits, and 5S/6S activities.
Implement engineering controls to proactively reduce operational risks.
Production Support
Provide direct, hands-on support during critical equipment failures and production ramp-ups.
Train and mentor maintenance technicians on advanced troubleshooting and repair methodologies.
Ensure equipment consistently meets cycle time, quality, and performance requirements.
Who You Are
Education
