What You Bring

5+ years in equipment engineering/maintenance engineering in manufacturing equipment; ePTFE/PTFE/fluoropolymer experience is a strong plus.

Strong mechanical aptitude (precision alignment, bearings, drives, web handling/tension control) and controls literacy (PLC/HMI, I/O, sensors, VFD/servo).

Comfortable with thermal systems/ovens, pneumatics, and motion systems; able to read/create schematics, P&IDs, and GD&T drawings.

Experience with validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), change control, and audit readiness in a regulated environment.
