Create and maintain process documentation (work instructions, PFMEA/control plan inputs, standard work, training materials) and ensure effective operator/technician training.
Support Engineering Change Orders (ECO) and product transfers from R&D to Manufacturing; provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback and participate in design reviews.
Provide engineering support to production as needed, including troubleshooting equipment, tooling, and process variation; coordinate maintenance plans and spare parts strategy.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to technicians, operators, and molding/automation personnel; contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.
Facilitate and support safety, environmental, and ergonomics initiatives; ensure changes are implemented in compliance with site and regulatory requirements.
Qualifications and Requirements B.S. degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Plastics Engineering (or equivalent).

Working knowledge of injection molding processes and automation; cleanroom experience preferred.
Experience with assembly automation, vision inspection, and/or data collection systems (MES, traceability, SPC).
Ability to design or specify fixtures and tooling; SolidWorks proficiency and practical understanding of machine shop/fabrication practices.
Proficiency with structured problem-solving and statistical methods (e.g., DOE, capability, GR&R); Lean / Six Sigma Green Belt preferred.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment; demonstrated ownership and follow-through with limited supervision.
