Process Engineering Manager

What You’ll Do

• Lead and mentor the engineering, quality, and tooling teams to ensure smooth execution of processes and achieve performance goals.

• Develop, optimize, and standardize production processes—focusing on continuous improvement and operational efficiency.

• Oversee and maintain critical documentation, including Bills of Materials (BOM), work instructions, and operational procedures in the ERP system.

• Collaborate closely with product development, design, and scheduling teams to integrate process improvements into product designs and coordinate pattern changeovers.

• Manage Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), First Article Testing (F.A.T.), and the launch of new products.

• Troubleshoot production challenges, lead root cause analyses, and implement effective solutions.

• Drive quality improvement initiatives, including scrap reduction and calibration of control equipment, while promoting 6S and ISO standards.

• Oversee tooling and pattern shop operations, balancing maintenance priorities and supporting new product initiatives.

• Lead safety reviews and support risk mitigation strategies.

• Provide daily updates on engineering and quality metrics, lead special projects, and contribute to critical quality variable control and equipment optimization.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Metallurgical, or Manufacturing Engineering (required).

• 5–7 years of experience in manufacturing, preferably with a strong background in process engineering.

• 1–3 years of experience leading engineering teams or supervising technical staff.

• Prior experience in sand casting foundries is preferred. (Experience with blow molding, extrusion, or injection molding is a plus!)

• Solid experience working with ERP systems (IQMS preferred) and managing BOMs.

• A strong track record of driving process improvements and solving complex production challenges.

• Familiarity with ISO 9001 and quality management systems.
