Job Summary

The Senior Advanced Manufacturing Process Engineer is responsible to plan, direct and coordinate the implementation of manufacturing process into an industrial plant.  The Process Engineer works to develop molding processes by utilizing their knowledge ofproduct design, materials, tooling and equipment capabilities, and quality control standards. They create plans that optimize work force utilization, space requirements, and workflow. The AME uses product requirements to create specifications for process, tooling, end of arm tooling, and molding equipment and then works with vendors to procure, install and implement into the manufacturing facility.  

Responsibilities

Provide direct input to the Simultaneous Development Team (SDT) by doing the following:
