Process Engineer (Gear Machining)

In this position... * Requires a deep understanding of specific manufacturing disciplines, particularly gear machining (blanking, hobbing, turning and milling). You will evaluate the ergonomics of various jobs to ensure operator safety and lead "Visual Factory" management to make production status and issues transparent to all team members. * Balances hands-on technical support-specifically involving gear machining with administrative oversight of process documentation. Ultimately, your goal is to ensure manufacturing processes are stable, efficient, and capable of meeting rigorous automotive production standards. The Manufacturing Process Engineer is a critical technical leader responsible for the stability, efficiency, and continuous evolution of the production environment. This role acts as the primary bridge between engineering design and floor-level execution, ensuring that manufacturing systems-ranging from complex gear machining to high-speed conveyor systems-operate at peak performance. What you'll do... * Support Manufacturing Process Engineering activity * Drive continuous improvement in safety, quality and productivity * Apply engineering principles and analytical techniques to establish and continuously improve manufacturing processes and products * Develop action plans as required to investigate and prioritize quality concerns and verify corrective actions on internal processes and supplier processes * Lead and conduct process audits to ensure process discipline is consistent with guidelines * Conduct job ergonomic evaluations and deliver corrective actions as required * Analyze vehicle inventory root causes; engage in mapping and corrective actions to reduce vehicle inventory * Create process and instruction sheets supporting quality methods and processes * Deliver capable processes and tools for Trim and Chassis Assembly operations * Lead variability reduction and lean manufacturing initiatives and best practices * Ensure compliance to Plant, Corporate, Governmental and Environmental standards * Back up ISO 14001 compliance and support internal ISO auditing and compliance as required * Support continuous improvement in safety, quality and productivity * Identify throughput constraints and drive root cause improvements What you'll do... * Support Manufacturing Process Engineering activity * Drive continuous improvement in safety, quality and productivity * Apply engineering principles and analytical techniques to establish and continuously improve manufacturing processes and products * Develop action plans as required to investigate and prioritize quality concerns and verify corrective actions on internal processes and supplier processes * Lead and conduct process audits to ensure process discipline is consistent with guidelines * Conduct job ergonomic evaluations and deliver corrective actions as required * Analyze vehicle inventory root causes; engage in mapping and corrective actions to reduce vehicle inventory * Create process and instruction sheets supporting quality methods and processes * Deliver capable processes and tools for Trim and Chassis Assembly operations * Lead variability reduction and lean manufacturing initiatives and best practices * Ensure compliance to Plant, Corporate, Governmental and Environmental standards * Back up ISO 14001 compliance and support internal ISO auditing and compliance as required * Support continuous improvement in safety, quality and productivity * Identify throughput constraints and drive root cause improvements
