Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead manufacturing process improvements to increase efficiency, yield, and equipment reliability while ensuring food safety and quality. Design and commission equipment changes, apply data and statistical methods (SPC, GR&R, FMEA), perform root cause analysis, and collaborate with cross‑functional teams to sustain continuous improvement and compliance with HACCP/GMP standards.

Leads product vision, strategy, backlog prioritization, requirements, Agile delivery, stakeholder engagement, market research, and performance analysis. The role guides cross-functional teams, improves customer-focused products, and ensures compliance with food safety, quality plans, customer requirements, process controls, and standard operating procedures.

Optimize upstream dairy manufacturing processes, including blending, heat treatment, filtration, sanitation, and process capability. Improve yield, throughput, cycle time, cost, reliability, and food safety. Collaborate with operations, quality, maintenance, controls, supply chain, and data teams. Support product scale-up, equipment installations, capital projects, process documentation, P&IDs, SOPs, CCPs, audits, hazard assessments, and corrective actions. The role requires on-site work in Grand Rapids and up to 10% travel.

Provides controls engineering support in an automated food manufacturing facility. Responsibilities include executing electrical, instrumentation, and controls projects; training maintenance teams; overseeing contractors; optimizing plant automation and uptime; maintaining control systems; developing SCADA, HMI, MES, and reporting solutions; and ensuring electrical, food safety, quality, and customer requirements are met.

Design, implement, and maintain electrical, instrumentation, and controls systems in an automated food manufacturing facility. Lead controls optimization, SCADA/HMI/MES development, contractor oversight, and training to improve production efficiency, uptime, safety, and compliance. Support projects from design through completion and ensure adherence to electrical and food safety standards.

Lead cross-functional engineering projects onsite: define vision, goals, and success criteria; manage day-to-day project activities using the EPM process; ensure safety, food quality, and regulatory compliance; guide technical specifications, vendor selection, testing, and training; recommend technology/process improvements to meet business objectives.

Lead cross-functional engineering projects using the Enterprise Project Management (EPM) process to define vision, success criteria, and outcomes. Manage day-to-day project activities, vendor selection, testing, training, and compliance with safety, sanitation, food safety, and customer requirements. Recommend project actions to leadership, investigate new technologies, and provide technical guidance to internal partners while coordinating across departments.

Lead process optimization for dairy production focusing on blending, standardization, heat treatment, filtration, and sanitation. Drive continuous improvement, capital projects, process capability studies, documentation (P&IDs, SOPs, CCPs), and food safety compliance (HACCP, GMP). Collaborate with operations, QA, maintenance, controls, and data science to improve yield, reduce waste, and minimize risk.

Lead plant-level continuous improvement using Lean and Six Sigma (DMAIC) to standardize processes, reduce waste, increase capacity, and improve safety and quality. Execute projects, train and coach teams, perform root cause analysis, analyze metrics, maintain regulatory compliance, and implement Digital Standard Work and process controls.
