Job Description
We are seeking a hands-on Process Technician to join our Production Engineering team, supporting the day-to-day execution, sustainment, and improvement of manufacturing processes across our production lines.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide daily coverage of production line processes, responding quickly to out-of-control or out-of-standard conditions to minimize downtime, scrap, and yield loss
- Monitor process and equipment performance against established limits; recognize drift or abnormal conditions early and escalate to Process Engineering when a fix falls outside standard work
- Troubleshoot process and equipment issues to resolution, performing routine adjustments, changeovers, and first-line repairs to restore production
- Lead the identification, containment, and disposition of non-conforming material produced on the line; document defects accurately and support root cause investigations
- Execute and support corrective actions, trials, and experiments defined by Process Engineering, including data collection for DOE, capability, and gauge R&R studies
- Collect, record, and review process data (SPC charts, yield, scrap, cycle time); flag trends and help translate data into concrete improvement actions
- Support the qualification and startup of new equipment, tooling, fixtures, and process changes, including line configuration and verification runs
- Draft and revise Manufacturing Instructions and visual work aids; train Operators on new or updated processes and verify they are being followed as written
- Own and execute continuous improvement, Lean, and 5S activities at the line — reducing scrap, cycle time, and non-value-added work
- Maintain process documentation, logbooks, and change records; support Engineering Change implementation at the line level
- Manage line-side parts, consumables, and tooling inventory to keep production supplied and organized
- Work safely and hold the line to EHS standards, including PPE, lockout/tagout, and safe work practices; report hazards and near-misses immediately
Requirements
- Associate's degree in Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or a related technical field — or 2+ years of hands-on manufacturing experience in lieu of a degree
- Experience working in a production environment with defined processes, standard work, and quality requirements
- Ability to troubleshoot mechanical, pneumatic, and basic electrical systems, and to work confidently with hand and power tools
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and written work instructions
- Comfortable collecting and interpreting process data; able to draw sound conclusions from test results, defects, and deviations
- Familiarity with structured problem solving (5-Why, Ishikawa, or similar) and a track record of following issues through to a real fix
- Strong attention to detail and accurate documentation habits
- Clear written and verbal communication; able to hand off issues cleanly across shifts and work effectively with Operators, Engineers, and Quality
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including shift work and overtime, to support production needs
- Experience in power electronics, electromechanical, or high-volume automated assembly (energy, automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics)
- Working knowledge of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and process capability concepts
- Experience with MES, SCADA, or factory data systems for process monitoring and data entry
- Lean, 5S, or Six Sigma (Yellow or Green Belt) training or certification
- Experience with soldering, bonding, potting, torque-controlled assembly, or similar controlled processes
- Familiarity with GD&T and basic metrology equipment (calipers, micrometers, gauges)
- Experience authoring work instructions or training Operators
- Creative problem-solving mindset — always looking for a faster, better, safer way to run the line
- Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
