Mfg. engrs Manufacturing Engineer II

Position Scope/Summary:The Manufacturing Engineer II plays a critical role in optimizing tube mill operations through technical expertise process innovation and continuous improvement. This position leads investigations into manufacturing and customer-related challenges designs and executes experiments analyzes data and implements effective solutions that improve product quality operational efficiency and overall performance. Serving as a central technical resource the Manufacturing Engineer II partners with production quality maintenance and leadership teams to drive sustainable improvements and support business Requirements:Provide diversified range of technical services to both internal and external customers supporting the attainment of Company goals. Areas of support include process development metallurgical testing cold drawing heat treating nondestructive testing and failure analysis of metal for making proper and timely disposition of nonconforming metallic materials including but not limited to NCR and customer and perform installation and operational qualifications (IQ and OQ) for new equipment and/or processes. Support the development and execution of master validation plans and product/process validations (PQ).Provide leadership to less experienced plan and execute actions to solve complex problems. Lead the application of SPC six sigma and lean principles statistical methods and design of experiments to identify and eliminate process inefficiencies and good project planning principles to develop task completion dates for equipment installation cost saving opportunities and process improvements and then execute to that communicate and measure technical risk for a variety of metals for use in medical aerospace and industrial products and the processes and equipment used to manufacture them. Develop and implement innovative solutions that support business interactions with internal and external customers to anticipate problems and implement process/product Working Conditions:While performing the duties of this job the employee is frequently exposed to moving mechanical parts. The employee is occasionally exposed to high precarious places; fumes or airborne particles; toxic or caustic chemicals; risk of electrical shock; and vibration.
