Manufacturing Engineering Process Engineer

Manufacturing Engineering Process Engineer focuses on understand and quantify the existing process.

What the role involves

• Understand and quantify the existing process.
• Support activities (set-up, changeover, inspection, rework, material handling, etc.), maintaining an accurate and current picture of process timings.
• Maintain value stream maps for current-state processes, highlighting non-value-add activities and improvement opportunities.
• Identify critical process characteristics that must be preserved or improved in any future line or facility.
• Design inputs for new or modified production lines (cycle times, burrer sizes, stalling levels, equipment capacities).
• Supporting decisions on equipment selection, automation versus manual operations and line balancing based on measured data rather than assumptions.

Skills and requirements

• Process documentation, and convert them into actionable design inputs.
• Effective communication skills to work with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Quality, Facilities, HSE and other support functions.

Candidate fit

• Able to challenge assumptions constructively and influence design decisions.

Additional role context

• Up to monitor line performance versus plan and recommend targeted improvements.
• Lead time) and track it through pilot and volume phases.
• Data input to support the creation and maintenance of standard work, work instructions and training material based on accurate timings and best practice.
