Senior Process Engineer Profile

Mission of the Position: Provide technical leadership for complex manufacturing processes and cross-functional initiatives that expand capability, accelerate reliable production scaling, and improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost. The Senior Process Engineer serves as a recognized subject-matter expert who leads high-impact work, establishes engineering standards, mentors others, and influences decisions across value streams.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical performance and long-term capability of assigned processes or technologies, serving as the primary engineering authority for complex issues and critical decisions.

• Lead cross-functional projects from concept through production implementation, including scope definition, technical risk assessment, schedule, budget, resource coordination, validation, and sustained handoff to Operations.

• Develop advanced process designs, operating windows, control strategies, and qualification plans that meet customer, regulatory, quality, and business requirements.

• Lead complex root-cause investigations and corrective actions using rigorous data analysis, experimentation, and statistical methods; ensure countermeasures are effective, documented, and institutionalized.

• Direct design-for-manufacturability reviews and production-scaling activities for new products, new technologies, and high-risk process changes.

• Identify, justify, and implement capital equipment and automation solutions, including specifications, supplier evaluation, safety reviews, installation, commissioning, validation, training, and performance ramp-up.

• Establish and improve engineering standards, best practices, process documentation, and knowledge-management methods across the assigned area.

• Mentor Process Engineers, technicians, and production personnel; provide technical review, coaching, and structured training that builds organizational capability.

• Influence cross-functional priorities and communicate technical risks, trade-offs, recommendations, project status, and business impact to leadership and other stakeholders.

• Lead continuous-improvement initiatives that materially improve throughput, capability, reliability, quality, safety, lead time, and cost across one or more manufacturing areas.

• Represent Process Engineering in customer, supplier, audit, and technical discussions when advanced process expertise or risk-based decisions are required.

• Anticipate future capacity, capability, equipment, and workforce needs and translate them into practical technical roadmaps and prioritized improvement plans.

Major Challenges

• Balancing urgent production needs with strategic process development, capital projects, and capability expansion.

• Resolving high-consequence technical problems in complex or insufficiently characterized processes while protecting safety, quality, and customer commitments.

• Aligning stakeholders with competing priorities and influencing decisions without relying on direct authority.

• Transferring specialized knowledge, developing successors, and establishing standards that reduce dependence on individual expertise.

• Adapting technical roadmaps as business forecasts, customer requirements, technology, and operational constraints evolve.

Expected Performance Outcomes

• Be recognized as a subject-matter expert for assigned processes or technologies and a trusted technical advisor across functions.

• Deliver major engineering projects and process transfers on time, within approved budget, and with documented safety, quality, capability, and operational-readiness results.

• Establish durable standards, controls, and training that improve process ownership and reduce recurring issues.

• Develop the capability and independence of engineers, technicians, and production teams through mentorship, technical review, and knowledge transfer.

• Generate measurable year-over-year gains in throughput, reliability, lead time, quality, and cost, including contribution to the goal of enabling safe production at 100% quality while reducing average cost per piece by 5% annually.

• Identify and address emerging technical and capacity risks before they disrupt customer or business commitments.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial, Manufacturing, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline; an advanced degree is a plus.

• Seven or more years of progressive process, manufacturing, industrial, or related engineering experience in a high-precision, regulated, or advanced manufacturing environment.

• Demonstrated ownership of complex processes or technologies and successful leadership of cross-functional projects from concept through production release.

• Advanced proficiency in structured problem-solving, FMEA, control plans, process capability, statistical analysis, validation, and Lean or Six Sigma methods.

• Proven experience with manufacturing routes, bills of material, process detail sheets, standard work, production-readiness deliverables, and engineering change control.

• Experience specifying, justifying, commissioning, validating, and scaling capital equipment, tooling, fixtures, or automation.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor technical staff, lead through influence, communicate with senior stakeholders, and make risk-based engineering decisions.

• Experience in powder processing, compaction, sintering, filtration, fabrication, machining, welding, high-temperature processing, or another relevant advanced-manufacturing technology is preferred.

• Six Sigma Green Belt, Black Belt, or comparable continuous-improvement certification is preferred.
