What you will do

• Own manufacturing process execution, documentation, standard work, process capability baselines, and production controls for the wound film capacitor line.
• Improve yield, first-pass yield, cycle time, cost, and output through statistical process control, data analysis, Lean initiatives, and verified corrective actions.
• Lead root cause corrective action for process failures, electrical acceptance test failures, nonconforming material, scrap, rework, and process-driven escapes.
• Manage process equipment, tooling, fixtures, setup parameters, qualification after maintenance, and targeted automation or mechanization improvements.
• Run process changes through change control, including qualification, documentation updates, operator retraining, safety reviews, and approval.
• Work directly on the production floor, coach operators and technicians, maintain process discipline, and address hazards involving solvents, resins, elevated temperatures, and high-voltage stored energy.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Materials, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of manufacturing or process engineering experience supporting active production, with direct responsibility for yield, rate, or process capability on a shipping production line.
• Demonstrated measurable process improvement experience and the ability to write and enforce work instructions and change-control procedures.
• Experience with structured problem solving, root cause corrective action, statistical process control, process capability, and practical data analysis.
• Experience in electronics, capacitor, high-voltage, or precision manufacturing; proficiency with an MES or ERP and Microsoft Office.
• U.S. citizenship or nationality, U.S. permanent residence, refugee status, or asylum status is required. A pre-employment background check must be satisfied.

Nice to have

• Film and foil capacitor manufacturing, winding, margin control, metallization, swaging, resin potting, oil-filled assembly, or HiPot testing.
• Vacuum drying and impregnation, pulsed power, Marx generators, pulse-forming networks, or high-energy-density applications.
• Experience scaling a line from pilot build to rate production and developing PFMEAs, control plans, or operator qualification programs.
• Lean or Six Sigma certification and experience with ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality systems.
• Mentoring engineers or technicians, building an engineering team, or using a modern cloud MES such as Boltline.
