The Lean Manufacturing Engineer will play a key role in accelerating operational excellence by identifying, prioritizing, and executing manufacturing optimization initiatives that reduce cost, improve productivity, eliminate waste, and strengthen process capability. This position will partner closely with operations, engineering, quality, maintenance, supply chain, and frontline teams to improve material flow, labor utilization, equipment effectiveness, cycle times, changeover performance, and overall process stability. The role is responsible for leading data-driven continuous improvement projects, facilitating Lean events, developing sustainable standard work, and delivering measurable savings through practical, shop-floor-focused improvements aligned with business goals.\n What Will You Do?\nLead and execute high-impact continuous improvement projects that reduce manufacturing cost, improve productivity, increase throughput, and eliminate waste across operations.\nIdentify, quantify, and prioritize improvement opportunities using production data, time studies, value stream mapping, operator feedback, and direct shop-floor observation.\nDrive implementation and sustained use of core Lean tools, including 5S, Kaizen, Cellular Manufacturing, Kanban Replenishment, SMED, Standard Work, Visual Management, and Value Stream Mapping.\nFacilitate kaizen events and structured problem-solving activities with cross-functional teams to deliver measurable improvements in cost, quality, delivery, safety, and efficiency.\nOptimize assembly, fabrication, and material flow processes to improve product quality, process repeatability, labor efficiency, machine utilization, and cycle time performance.\nEvaluate work cells, layouts, workflows, tooling, fixtures, and equipment utilization to develop cost-effective solutions that improve productivity, ergonomics, safety, and space utilization.\nPerform time studies and labor analyses to establish standard work, identify cost drivers, and support productivity improvement plans.\nLead/Support root cause analysis for process, quality, scrap, rework, downtime, and flow issues; develop corrective actions and verify the effectiveness of implemented solutions.\nPartner with operations leadership to build and maintain a pipeline of improvement projects tied to plant objectives, productivity targets, and cost reduction goals.\nDevelop and sustain training for employees on Lean concepts, standard work, problem solving, waste identification, and continuous improvement behaviors. \n Basic Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.\nMinimum of 2 years of experience in a Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, manufacturing engineering, or process improvement environment.\nStrong hands-on process /mechanical aptitude with the ability to evaluate layouts, and production processes on the shop floor.\nStrong analytical and technical skills with the ability to use data to identify improvement opportunities, quantify cost impact, and verify results.\nDemonstrated ability to support or lead projects focused on productivity improvement, waste reduction, labor efficiency, cost savings, quality improvement, or process optimization.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nDemonstrated success delivering measurable cost reductions, productivity gains, scrap reduction, cycle time improvement, or throughput improvement.\nExperience leading continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, A3, 8D, or other structured problem-solving methods.\nExperience developing business cases, project charters, savings estimates, implementation plans, and sustainment controls for improvement projects.\nStrong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, engage
