• Experience identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving manufacturing process issues.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement principles.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate data into actionable recommendations.
• Project management skills with the ability to organize and execute multiple priorities.
• Ability to effectively communicate technical information to colleagues with varying levels of technical expertise.
