  • Train shop personnel on new or updated procedures and monitor their adoption.
  • Support new product introductions by developing manufacturing workflows and production routings.
  • Maintain revision control and ensure timely updates to process documentation as engineering changes occur.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, including tooling, fixturing, layout, and workflow optimization.

Required Qualifications

  • Proven ability to create clear and accurate work instructions and manufacturing documentation.
  • Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing documentation workflows.
  • Experience with root-cause analysis, process optimization, or lean manufacturing principles.
