  • Work Studies & Data Analytics: Lead the collection and analysis of operational data. You will perform time-and-motion studies, ergonomic assessments, and bottleneck analysis to identify root causes of inefficiency and quantify improvement opportunities.

  • Lean Leader: You will serve as a mentor to production staff on Lean concepts, promoting the efficiency and fostering a culture of Lean thinking and continuous improvement.

  • Cross-Functional Project Leadership: Manage CI projects from conception to completion, ensuring alignment with year-over-year efficiency targets and safety standards.

  • Operational Agility: Perform other duties as assigned to support the evolving needs of the factory and strategic engineering initiatives.

Certification: Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt preferred.
