- Serve as the primary liaison between the site and the enterprise Manufacturing Excellence organization.
- Plan, facilitate, and close out Kaizen events and Rapid Improvement Events at the site.
- Lead Six Sigma (DMAIC) improvement projects addressing site-level quality, cost, and delivery gaps.
- Apply core Lean tools — value stream mapping, 5S, standard work, visual management, error-proofing (poka-yoke), SMED — to specific production lines and processes.
- Coach and develop site supervisors, engineers, and hourly team members in Lean and Six Sigma fundamentals.
- Support site-level pilots of smart factory and digital manufacturing tools as directed by the enterprise technology roadmap.
- Partner with site engineering and IT/OT resources to ensure new technology deployments are integrated into standard work.
- Provide floor-level feedback on the practical usability and adoption of new manufacturing technology.
- Serve as a site-level resource for structured problem-solving when urgent manufacturing issues arise.
- Support root cause investigation and corrective action closure for significant quality escapes, capacity shortfalls, or delivery risks.
Requirements
- 10+ years of manufacturing engineering, continuous improvement, or operations experience, including direct experience in the aerospace and defense industry or a comparably regulated manufacturing environment.
